Account Executive

€44,000 base, €10,000 bonus, company car, 24 days’ holiday, pension, and healthcare benefits.

The Company

Our client is a well-established provider of employee-focused services, with a strong reputation and established customer base across Ireland.

The business provides a unique offering to employers and their employees, helping organisations provide additional benefits and value to their workforce.

Due to continued growth, they are looking to add an enthusiastic and personable Account Executive to their team.

The Role

This is an Account Executive position focused on developing relationships with existing business customers and engaging directly with their employees.

The role will be approximately 90% focused on existing accounts, with responsibility for organising customer visits, presenting the company's offering to employees, and increasing engagement and participation within each organisation.

You will work closely with HR and Payroll contacts to arrange visits and presentations, before taking ownership of the employee-facing side of the process.

The role is predominantly field-based, with approximately four days per week spent on the road and one day working from home or the office.

Key responsibilities include:

• Managing and developing relationships with existing business customers.
• Organising customer visits and employee presentation days.
• Presenting the company's offering and benefits to employees.
• Building rapport and encouraging employee engagement.
• Working closely with HR and Payroll contacts.
• Identifying opportunities to increase participation within existing accounts.
• Developing new business opportunities where they arise.
• Planning weekly activity and managing your own territory.

Career Opportunity

This is an excellent opportunity to join an established business with a strong reputation and a genuinely unique offering.

The role provides a good balance between relationship management, presenting and commercial development, with the majority of your time spent meeting customers and their employees face-to-face.

Full training will be provided, including an initial induction, online training and time spent accompanying experienced sales representatives.

It would suit someone who enjoys being out meeting people, presenting and building relationships rather than sitting behind a desk.

The Person

The ideal candidate will have previous customer-facing experience. A background in B2B, B2C, retail, account management or another people-focused environment would be considered.

Previous experience within the specific sector is not required. Personality, presentation and relationship-building ability will be particularly important.

The right person will be:

• Warm, personable and naturally likeable.
• Confident presenting to groups of people.
• Driven and commercially motivated.
• Comfortable working independently.
• A strong communicator with excellent interpersonal skills.
• Presentable and professional.
• A self-starter who enjoys being out meeting customers.
• Organised and capable of managing their own territory.

The Package

• €44,000 base salary.
• €10,000 bonus.
• Company car.
• 24 days' annual leave.
• Pension.
• Healthcare benefits.

Location

Two positions are available:

• West: Clare, Galway, Mayo and North Kerry – candidates ideally based in Clare or Galway.
• South: Cork and surrounding areas, South Tipperary, Waterford and South Kerry – candidates ideally based in or around Cork.

Both roles are predominantly field-based, with approximately four days per week spent on the road and one day working from home or the office.
