Business Development Manager - Ireland​/UK

Position: Business Development Manager - Ireland / UK
Business
Development Manager

Ireland
& UK |  Remote / Field-Based

Are you an experienced commercial or
technical professional with an impressive track record gained exclusively
in regulated industries such as medical devices, pharma, or life
sciences or science-based industry? Do you thrive at the interface
of complex technical solutions and long-term customer relationships? If you are
looking for an entrepreneurial role with real autonomy and regional scope, we
would like to hear from you.

On behalf of an American multinational
specialised in the design, supply and distribution of components and custom
solutions for medical devices, we are recruiting a Business Development
Manager for the Ireland & UK territory.

The Role

Reporting to the General Manager EU and
working closely with the VP of Sales (USA), you will lead commercial
development and customer partnerships across the UK and Ireland. This is a
high-visibility, relationship-driven role that combines strategic account
management with genuine new business development, counting on a catalogue of
thousands of stock components and several product categories.

Key Responsibilities

- Design and execute the annual territory sales plan,
setting ambitious yet realistic targets in alignment with the wider European
strategy.
- Develop and deepen relationships with existing OEM
customers while identifying and converting new accounts within the medical
device and adjacent regulated sectors.
- Act as a trusted advisor: understand customer
programmes in depth and propose tailored, technically credible solutions.
- Monitor commercial performance — order volumes,
margins and pipeline — and ensure timely, accurate reporting to headquarters.
- Serve as the bridge between the customer and internal
teams (Engineering, Quality Assurance, Project Management, Customer Service),
ensuring seamless delivery on complex projects.
- Represent the company at industry events, across
Europe  - and occasionally the US.

Who We Are Looking
For

We are seeking professionals with solid
commercial instincts and genuine technical curiosity. The ideal profile
typically comes from one of the following backgrounds — though we are open to
exceptional candidates who do not fit neatly into any single box:

- Sales Specialist or Sales Manager with 6–10+ years of
experience selling technical solutions or components to OEM customers exclusively
in a regulated environment (medical devices, pharma, in vitro diagnostics,
or similar).
- R&D Engineer or Product Manager active in the
medical devices industry, willing to transition into a commercial role,
bringing deep technical knowledge and the ability to engage credibly with
engineering teams and procurement at customer sites.
- Manufacturing or Operations professional with customer-facing
experience, comfortable discussing regulatory requirements, supply chain
constraints, and quality standards with sophisticated buyers.

Essential Skills & Attributes

- Excellent interpersonal and communication skills: you
are equally at ease presenting to a C-suite as you are discussing tolerances
with an R&D team.
- Multilingual advantage: fluent English (C1+) is
essential; proficiency in a second European language (French, German, Italian,
Spanish, or similar) is a genuine differentiator and strongly valued.
- Experience operating within multinational,
cross-functional environments — you understand how to navigate matrix
organisations and build alignment across geographies.
- Deep familiarity with regulatory frameworks relevant
to medical devices (e.g., EU MDR. and/or FDA QSR) is a significant plus.
- Self-starter and commercially driven, you manage your
own territory with discipline and report with clarity.
- Willingness to travel approximately 40–45% of the time
across Ireland, UK, Europe and occasionally…
