The Opportunity

At DoneDeal Cars, we are shaping the future of Ireland’s car marketplace. With over 90% of Irish dealerships advertising on our platform, we are the number one place to buy and sell cars, trusted by dealers and loved by car buyers nationwide.

Our mission is simple: to make buying and selling cars feel this good. From our consumer promise “Buying a car should feel this good” to our dealer commitment “Selling a car should feel this good”, we are creating the most trusted, enjoyable, and effective marketplace in the country.

As a Business Development Manager, you will play a key role in connecting our dealer partners with Ireland’s largest audience of active car buyers. This is your chance to build lasting relationships, drive growth for dealerships, and represent a platform that dealers already recommend above all others.

How you’ll Play Your Part

  • Building trusted relationships with key decision-makers across our dealer network.

  • Identifying growth opportunities, both with existing clients and new prospects.

  • Acting as a digital advisor, helping dealers boost their online performance and reach more buyers.

  • Managing your sales pipeline end to end, consistently hitting and exceeding targets.

  • Staying on top of our product portfolio and tailor solutions to client needs.

  • Providing accurate sales forecasts and managing both short and long sales cycles.

  • Keeping accounts healthy through regular check-ins, creative campaigns, and proactive issue resolution.

  • Sharing insights from the field with the wider team to shape our strategy.

What you’ll need to Thrive Here

  • 3+ years of proven sales experience, with a track record of hitting or exceeding targets.

  • Strong account management skills, able to balance multiple clients and priorities.

  • Excellent communication and listening skills, with the ability to build trust.

  • Self-motivated, organised, and able to work independently.

  • Comfortable using CRM systems (experience with Salesforce is a bonus).

  • Tech-savvy and curious about digital trends, eager to grow your expertise in both the motor and digital industries.

Why Join Us

  • Market-leading position: In our 2025 Dealer Survey, over 440 dealerships voted DoneDeal Cars the number one place to sell cars. Dealers told us we deliver the most leads, the easiest platform to use, the best ad-boosting tools, and the highest-rated customer service.

  • Flexibility that works for you: We are a hybrid organisation with a remote-first approach. You have the flexibility to work from home, but our Dublin HQ is an important part of how we connect. There are team days, training sessions, and occasional meetings in the office to ensure that we succeed together.

  • Culture of collaboration: Our award-winning, cross-functional teamwork means you will always have the support you need to hit your goals while contributing to something bigger.

Benefits - what you can expect

  • Our goal is to maintain a culture where people look forward to work – whether in our centrally located office in Dublin or working from home, which is optional for all employees.

  • We do that by making Distilled a place you'll be listened to and trusted to do your job. Where you can have fun, learn and feel appreciated. And where you get focused career development, growth and progression opportunities.

  • We want you to feel confident that this is the right place for you, your career, your wellbeing and your future.

  • Above all, your health and wellbeing are at the forefront of how we build the business. That means looking after you while you're here and later in life. So you'll receive life insurance, fully-paid healthcare and a 5% contribution towards your pension.
