- Market Expansion
Identify new market segments and strategic partnership opportunities, working closely with our in-house lighting designer to deliver value-added services.
- Collaboration
Work with our Marketing and Operations teams to align on lead-generation campaigns, promotional materials, and client onboarding processes.
- Reporting & Strategy

Maintain a clear pipeline of new business leads, provide weekly progress updates, and contribute to quarterly revenue targets and growth strategies.

What We’re Looking For
- Proven Experience in Business Development or B2B Sales, ideally within construction, electrical, landscaping, or related industries.
- Networker and Relationship Builder with a track record of forging and maintaining professional connections.
- Technical Aptitude or willingness to learn about lighting specs and installation processes (lighting/electrical background preferred).
- Self-Motivated and proactive, comfortable setting targets and working in a dynamic environment.

- Excellent Communication Skills (written and verbal) to engage a range of stakeholders—from site installers to senior decision-makers.

Why Join Us?
- Competitive Salary at the upper end of the market to attract top-tier talent, plus performance-based bonuses tied to clear, achievable KPIs.
- Opportunity to Shape Growth for a business with ambitious expansion plans (including Ireland and the UAE).
- Supportive Environment with an in-house lighting designer, marketing resources, and a leadership team ready to back your initiatives.

- Company Car (or Allowance) to facilitate client visits, trade show appearances, and event attendance.
