Business Development Manager
Attractive Salary + Commission + Car + Benefits
Field Based | Munster
This is an opportunity to join a well-established and growing professional services business supporting SMEs across Ireland. With ambitious growth plans in place, the business is now looking to appoint an experienced Business Development Manager to take ownership of the Munster region.
This is a field-based, consultative sales role suited to a polished and professional salesperson who is comfortable building long-term relationships, operating autonomously, and developing business through face-to-face engagement.
The Role
As Business Development Manager, you will be responsible for developing new business across the Munster region, working closely with SME decision makers and professional advisors. The focus of the role is on relationship-led selling rather than transactional volume sales.
You will spend significant time in the field, meeting prospects, nurturing referral relationships, and building credibility in the market. While there is internal support with lead generation, this role requires someone proactive who is comfortable opening doors and creating opportunities.
Key Responsibilities
* Develop new business opportunities across the Munster territory through proactive, field-based activity
* Build and maintain strong referral relationships with accountancy firms and professional advisors
* Meet SME owners, directors, and senior finance stakeholders to understand their challenges and present tailored solutions
* Manage a long sales cycle with patience, structure, and professionalism
* Maintain accurate records of activity and pipeline within the CRM system
* Work collaboratively with internal teams to ensure a smooth client onboarding and delivery process
* Represent the business professionally in the market and at relevant networking events
What We're Looking For
* 5+ years proven experience in a consultative B2B sales role, ideally selling services rather than products
* A polished, professional approach with strong communication and relationship-building skills
* Comfortable operating in the field and building a territory through face-to-face engagement
* Experience selling into SMEs or working with accountants, advisors, or professional services environments is highly desirable
* Resilient and patient, with the ability to manage longer sales cycles
* Self-motivated, organised, and capable of working with a high level of autonomy
* Full driving licence and willingness to travel across Munster
What's on Offer
* Competitive base salary, likely in the region of €50-60k, depending on experience
* Commission scheme, with an understanding of ramp-up time in year one
* Car or car allowance
* Private medical insurance and pension
* The opportunity to join a stable business with clear growth ambitions and strong market reputation
Please note: This is a field-based role covering the Munster region.
