The Company

Our client is a leading distributor operating within the construction and building products sector. The business has a long-established presence across the Irish market and has built a strong reputation for quality, service, and commercial expertise.

With a significant customer base and an established nationwide operation, the business is continuing to develop its product portfolio and is looking for an experienced commercial leader to take responsibility for a key division.


The Role

This is a National Sales Manager position with responsibility for the overall commercial performance of a significant product portfolio across the Island of Ireland.

The role is approximately 80% management and 20% sales, with responsibility for leading a team, managing key customer relationships, developing supplier partnerships, and delivering the commercial strategy for the division.

You will work closely with senior management, category and procurement teams to manage the portfolio, identify growth opportunities, and ensure strong commercial performance.

The role will involve regular engagement with major contractors and subcontractors, working with senior stakeholders including Heads of Procurement, Commercial Directors, and Contracts Managers.

The position will be based within the Dublin area, with regular travel across Ireland and Northern Ireland.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Leading and developing a high-performing sales team.
  • Managing the commercial performance and profitability of the portfolio.
  • Developing and executing the division's commercial strategy.
  • Managing key customer relationships and major accounts.
  • Developing strong supplier and category relationships.

The successful candidate will have considerable influence over the direction and performance of the portfolio, with responsibility for both people management and commercial strategy.

The role offers the opportunity to work closely with senior management and key customers while developing supplier relationships and driving the future growth of the division.

It would suit an experienced sales or commercial manager who enjoys leading people, managing a P&L, and taking ownership of a significant business area.
