Account Executive Jobs

Dublin has cemented its position as a European sales hub, and the 257 active Account Executive roles on HiringNow.ie tell that story clearly. The concentration is overwhelmingly in Dublin — particularly around the tech corridor from Barrow Street through Grand Canal to North Dock — with a handful of positions in Cork and Galway.

The scale of the employers is striking. Salesforce, operating from its Salesforce Tower in North Dock, Dublin 1, recruits Account Executives for its Outsource Service Provider motion, looking for "entrepreneurial force" to drive the OSP business in Ireland — with Agentforce, its AI platform, increasingly shaping both what the sales team sells and how they sell it. Google at Gordon House on Barrow Street hires Senior Account Executives for its Google Customer Solutions team, where you'll consult with advertising clients across Northern Europe and help brands expand using Google's latest products. LinkedIn at Wilton Place is recruiting Account Executives with Dutch language skills for its Sales Solutions platform.

The SaaS and fintech cluster adds significant depth. HubSpot hires Mid-Market Account Executives for its Benelux territory — an inside-sales, full-closing role where you'll run online demos and use inbound selling strategies, with the flexibility to work from home, office, or hybrid across the Republic of Ireland. Deel, based at 10 Earlsfort Terrace, bills itself as the fastest-growing SaaS company in history with 7,000 employees across 100+ countries, and recruits AEs for its SMB expansion team. Rippling at Ballast House on Aston Quay is hiring Global Payroll Account Executives, having raised over $1.4 billion from investors including Kleiner Perkins and Sequoia. Notion recruits Commercial AEs for DACH markets from its Dublin office, with mandatory in-office days on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays.

What does an Account Executive actually do in these companies? The core is consistent: manage a pipeline of prospects, run product demonstrations, negotiate commercial terms, and close deals. The variation comes in territory (EMEA, DACH, Benelux, Nordics), deal size (SMB through to Enterprise), and whether the role is inside-sales or field-based. Language skills — particularly German, French, and Dutch — command a premium and significantly expand your addressable role count. The career ladder runs from Business Development Representative into Commercial AE, then Mid-Market AE, Enterprise AE, and ultimately Sales Director. For those with the ambition, several startups are advertising Founding Account Executive roles — ground-floor positions where you'll help build the sales motion from scratch.
