Business Development Executive

Coracrei Consulting Limited-Galway, Irlanda

Business Development Executive - Hospitality & Food & Beverage Supply

Galway & Surrounding Areas (Confidential)

An established Irish supplier to the hospitality and food sector is hiring a Business Development Executive to help develop a new and growing territory across Galway City, County Galway and parts of Clare.

The area has good early momentum and a small customer base already in place, but there is a significant opportunity to build and shape the territory over the coming months.

This role will suit someone who enjoys creating traction, opening doors, and turning opportunity into long-term business.

The Opportunity

  • A developing territory with strong potential rather than a saturated patch
  • Existing accounts and activity already in place
  • Clear scope to grow turnover significantly over the first 6-12 months
  • Proper handover and support before full ownership transfers
  • Direct reporting line to experienced, approachable leadership

The Role

  • Take ownership of a defined geographic territory
  • Grow existing accounts and actively open new customers
  • Identify opportunities, gaps, and untapped hospitality operators
  • Build strong relationships with hotels, kitchens, pubs, and food-led businesses
  • Be visible, consistent, and proactive in the local market

This is a hands-on, field-based role; success comes from being out with customers.

Attitude & Values

This role will suit someone who values:

  • Taking responsibility and being accountable for results
  • A collaborative, team-first way of working
  • Being dependable and organised
  • Building long-term relationships rather than chasing quick wins

Backgrounds that tend to work well

  • Field sales in retail, FMCG, or hospitality
  • Food, drink, wholesale, or supply-led environments
  • Commercial roles linked to logistics, operations, or service

Direct foodservice experience is helpful but not essential. Attitude, hunger, and work ethic matter most

Package

  • €40,000-€45,000 base salary
  • Uncapped commission (OTE €55k-€60k)
  • Company vehicle, fuel, phone, laptop, lunch allowance

A full, clean Irish driving licence is required.

Must be living in the Galway / Clare region

Why This Role Appeals

  • A territory you can genuinely build and influence
  • Visibility, autonomy, and ownership
  • Strong operational support behind the scenes
  • A stable, growing business investing in people and regions

Job Types: Full-time, Permanent

Pay: €45,000.00-€60,000.00 per year

Benefits:

  • Company car
  • Food allowance
  • Free or subsidised travel

Application question(s):

  • Are you comfortable being field-based most days across Galway and parts of Clare?
  • Are you currently opening new customers in your role, rather than only servicing existing accounts?
  • Have you worked in a role where the territory wasn’t fully built, and you had to create momentum yourself?

Licence/Certification:

  • Irish Driver Licence (required)

Work authorisation:

  • Ireland (required)

Work Location: On the road
