Business Development Executive

Cork

Pay: €22.00-€27.00 per hour

Job Description:

Our Cork city based client (a digital agency) is seeking a commercially minded Business Development Representative (for 15-20 hours per week) to nurture and grow an existing pipeline while also introducing new qualified opportunities.

This role is very flexible, mostly work from home, as long as you can attend the Cork city office approx once per fortnight. The days you do the work are very flexible also, could suit someone who has a few hours every morning to make some calls.

There is also a great commission structure on top of the hourly rate.

This is a relationship-led, long-game sales role rather than a high-volume, transactional position.

You will work from structured prospect lists, re-engaging leads who have already received

email touchpoints over the past 12+ months, maintaining momentum, and progressing

conversations toward retained client relationships. You will also support the creation of an in-house, scalable business development process alongside leadership.

A key focus for 2026 will be UK market development, requiring confidence in engaging

decision-makers and running thoughtful, value-driven outreach.
