Business Development Manager - International Growth Opportunity

MCS Group are delighted to be partnering with a rapidly expanding organisation entering a transformative phase of global growth to recruit for a Business Development Manager. The company is scaling at pace, creating exceptional opportunities for ambitious sales professionals who are eager to push beyond their current limits and thrive in a high-performing, forward-thinking environment.

This role is ideally suited to someone with a strong sales drive, a hunger for international growth, and perhaps someone who has hit a ceiling in their current position and is now seeking a company where they can achieve genuine advancement.

As Business Development Manager, you will play a pivotal role in driving international commercial strategy, with a particular focus on expanding business across the Far East and wider global markets. This position offers real ownership, visibility, and the chance to build a long-term career within a business experiencing exponential and sustained success.

Key Responsibilities

• Build, strengthen, and manage long‑term client relationships across international regions, with a strong focus on the Far East.
• Identify and secure new business opportunities through proactive outreach, market development, and in‑person international visits.
• Deliver presentations, product overviews, and commercial updates to distributors, partners, and clients worldwide.
• Take full ownership of your sales pipeline, revenue delivery, and business development strategy, operating with autonomy, entrepreneurial freedom, and a strong commercial drive.
• Represent the business at international events, meetings, and market development activities.

Essential Skills and Qualifications

• Demonstrated success in field sales or business development, ideally in an international capacity.
• A naturally driven salesperson, eager to exceed targets and capitalise on global growth opportunities.
• Highly self‑motivated, resilient, and comfortable operating in a fast‑paced, results‑focused environment.
• Someone who may feel they have outgrown their current role and is seeking a company where progression is not only possible but actively encouraged.
• Strong adaptability and ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
• Willingness and ability to travel extensively across Ireland, the UK, and internationally (including the Far East).
• Valid driver's licence and passport required.

What's on Offer

• Competitive base salary and uncapped commission
• Car Allowance
• 30 Days Holiday
• Early Finish on Fridays
• On‑site Parking
• Standard Pension Contribution
• A collaborative, ambitious, and resilient team culture where ideas are valued and career development is genuinely supported.
• Significant opportunities for growth, progression, and international exposure within a company scaling rapidly, an excellent environment for someone ready to step up, grow, and truly thrive.
