Sales Manager Jobs

Sales management represents the leadership layer of Ireland's tech sales ecosystem, with 43 active roles concentrated overwhelmingly in Dublin (33) — reflecting the city's status as a European sales HQ for global technology companies.

Google at Gordon House on Barrow Street leads with 8 positions, hiring Sales Directors and Regional Sales Managers for its advertising, cloud, and enterprise product lines. Canonical recruits 5 sales leadership roles remotely for its Ubuntu enterprise business. HubSpot at Sir John Rogerson's Quay has 4 positions including regional sales managers and team leads for its inbound marketing and CRM platform.

Salesforce at Salesforce Tower and Klaviyo each contribute 2 sales management positions. Paysafe adds payments-sector sales leadership. ServiceNow, Accenture, and AMCS Group round out the employer mix with enterprise software and consulting sales management roles.

What separates sales management from individual contributor sales roles? Sales managers own team performance, quota allocation, pipeline governance, forecasting accuracy, and talent development. At Google, this means managing teams of Account Executives selling to the world's largest advertisers. At HubSpot, it involves coaching BDR-to-AE transitions and building a repeatable sales culture. At Canonical, it requires managing globally distributed teams who meet just two to four times per year in person.

The skills required include sales methodology expertise (MEDDIC, Challenger, SPIN), CRM mastery (Salesforce is near-universal), coaching and mentoring, forecast management, and the ability to hire and retain top sales talent. The career path runs from Team Lead through Sales Manager and Regional Sales Director to VP Sales and CRO — with Ireland's tech sales hub offering a clear route to the most senior commercial leadership positions.

The concentration of senior sales leadership roles in Dublin reflects the city's maturation as a European sales hub. Companies like Google, HubSpot, and Salesforce have built out complete sales organisations � from BDR through AE to management and director levels � creating career ladders that can be climbed entirely within the Irish market without the international relocations that sales leadership typically requires. For professionals transitioning from individual contributor AE roles into management, the Dublin market offers a density of relevant opportunities and peer learning networks (through groups like SaaS Growth and Revenue Collective) that is unmatched outside London in EMEA.
