Business Development Manager

The Opportunity

We are partnering with a high-growth digital and advisory services organisation delivering large-scale transformation programmes across Ireland’s public sector.

This is a senior, high-impact role suited to a commercially driven Business Development Manager who thrives on opening new markets, shaping complex deals, and building long-term strategic relationships across government, healthcare, education, and semi-state bodies.

You will operate at the forefront of public sector transformation working closely with senior stakeholders to define, influence, and win multi-year programmes that deliver meaningful societal impact.

Why This Role Stands Out

• True market ownership – autonomy to define and execute your go-to-market strategy
• High-value deals – focus on complex, multi-stakeholder engagements rather than transactional sales
• Senior access – engage directly with C-suite, senior civil servants, and decision-makers
• Growth platform – strong internal delivery capability and brand credibility to support wins
• Visible impact – contribute to programmes that shape national infrastructure and services

The Role

You will lead the development of new business opportunities across Ireland’s public sector, driving revenue growth through strategic, consultative sales.

This role requires a blend of hunter mentality and strategic thinking someone comfortable building pipeline from scratch while also navigating complex procurement and deal structures.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and execute a targeted business development strategy across public sector accounts
• Build and convert a strong pipeline of high-value opportunities
• Identify, shape, and position complex solutions aligned to client priorities
• Engage and influence senior stakeholders (CxO, Departmental leadership, procurement bodies)
• Lead end-to-end deal cycles, from origination through to close
• Collaborate with internal delivery, technical, and bid teams to create compelling propositions
• Maintain strong market awareness across policy, funding, and procurement trends in Ireland
• Drive disciplined pipeline management and forecasting

Your Profile

• Proven track record of winning new business within the Irish public sector (government, healthcare, education, or agencies)
• Strong experience in consultative / solution-based selling, ideally within technology, transformation, or advisory services
• Demonstrated ability to originate and close complex, high-value deals
• Established network and credibility within key public sector stakeholders
• Commercially astute with experience shaping innovative deal structures
• Confident operating in multi-stakeholder, politically aware environments
• Highly driven, self-starting, and comfortable with autonomy
