Role Overview

This is a senior sales leadership opportunity with a long-established, market-leading Irish business in the construction and building solutions space. Operating for more than 50 years, the company holds a leading market position and supplies major commercial construction projects across Ireland.

The role is based in Dublin with a hybrid working pattern and requires regular travel across the country. It offers a high level of autonomy to shape commercial direction, strengthen the sales function, and support ongoing growth.

About the Company

The business works closely with main contractors, developers, and architects, contributing to some of Ireland's most important commercial projects. With strong momentum and a healthy project pipeline, the organisation is seeking a Head of Sales to lead its national sales operation.

Key Responsibilities

You will oversee the full sales cycle, from opportunity creation and pipeline control through to forecasting, account management, and delivery of large-scale projects.

The position includes leadership of seven direct reports, with responsibility for guiding performance, supporting development, and driving the team’s commercial output.

You will work directly with Project Managers and Contracts Managers at main contractors, developers, and architectural firms, handling complex project-led sales processes and ensuring continued business expansion.

Confidence in dealing with senior stakeholders, strong organisational discipline, and a proven ability to execute plans effectively are all important.

The employer is looking for someone energetic, credible, collaborative, and willing to lead by example. Candidates should live within one hour of Dublin and must hold a full, clean Irish driving licence.
