Sales Jobs in Ireland: Who's Hiring Right Now (Oct 2026)
You are hunting for a sales role in Ireland and you want to know who is actually hiring this week, not a generic list of "top employers". Here is the picture from the JobRise live jobs feed, counted on 14 October 2026. Treat every number below as a dated snapshot of open listings, not a market survey.
The headline numbers#
There are 100 open sales listings in Ireland on the sales jobs hub right now. 82 of them were posted in the last 30 days, and 43 in the last 7 days alone.
That ratio matters. More than four in five listings are fresh, so the market is moving and old applications are worth refreshing rather than assuming silence means rejection.
For context, the JobRise Hiring Report for Ireland shows 434 open listings across all categories, 344 posted in the last 30 days. Sales is a large slice of that.

Who is hiring right now#
The companies with the most open sales listings are, with counts exactly as counted on 14 October 2026: Stripe (22), Intercom (12), CPM Ireland (12), Mongodb (11), Datadog (7), Klaviyo (7), Okta (4), AMAX (4), Pinterest (4), Fivetran (4).
Some of these names are recruiters or staffing firms rather than the end employer, so read each listing carefully to see who you would actually report to.
Roles on these listings include "Sales Development Representative" at Stripe, "Account Executive, MidMarket" at Intercom, "Account Development Representative - Arabic Speaking" at Mongodb, "Sales Merchandiser - CPM Ireland" and "Humanitarian Fundraiser | Make a Difference in Your Community" at CPM Ireland, and "Corporate Account Executive - UK&I" at Asana.
Other live listings include "Senior Account Executive - Dutch Speaking" at Newrelic and "Service & Sales Assistant" at Yugo. Notice the language requirements in several of these. Dutch and Arabic are named in the titles.
Where the jobs are#
Dublin has 80 of the 100 open listings. Cork has 4, Galway 3, Maynooth 2, Kildare 1.
If you are outside Dublin, the honest read is that you are competing for a small number of local roles, and many Dublin-based sales teams now expect office days. Check the hybrid pattern before you spend an evening on an application.
What the mix tells you#
Every single listing in this slice, 100 of 100, is full-time. There is no part-time or contract sales work showing on this feed today.
The employer mix leans heavily toward big tech. Stripe, Intercom, Mongodb, Datadog, Klaviyo, Okta, Pinterest, Fivetran and Asana are all software companies, and they dominate the counts. Startups and agencies show up too: CPM Ireland is a field sales and merchandising agency, and its 12 listings cover both retail merchandising and fundraising work.
The public sector is barely visible in this slice. If you want a public service sales-adjacent role, this is not the feed that will surface it.
One blunt number: only 1 of 100 listings looks entry-level, and it is "Graduate Regulatory Reporting" at AQMetrics, which is not even a sales title. Graduate and junior sales roles are close to invisible right now. If you are early career, you will be applying up, and your transferable proof matters more than your job title.
No listing in this slice shows a salary. That is common in Irish sales ads, and it means you should ask about the base, the commission split and the on-target earnings before you accept anything. Reported OTE varies widely by role and seniority, so verify current figures with the employer directly rather than trusting a number you saw in a forum.
How to apply this week#
Apply direct where you can. A careers page application with a tailored CV beats a one-click blast, because the volume is real and you are competing against people who already know the product.
Mirror the listing's keywords. If the ad says "Sales Development Representative", use that exact phrase in your CV. If it says "MidMarket", write "MidMarket". If a language is named, put it in your skills line.
Rewrite your bullets to match the ad. Here is a worked example.
Before: "Responsible for business development and hitting targets in a busy team."
After: "Generated 40 qualified meetings per quarter as a Sales Development Representative, using cold outreach and discovery calls to build pipeline for a MidMarket sales team."
The second version repeats the ad's language and gives a number. That is what gets past an applicant tracking system and past a recruiter skimming 200 CVs.
A 7-step plan#
- Pick your top five employers from the counts above and open their careers pages today.
- Rewrite your CV headline to match the exact title you want, for example "Sales Development Representative".
- Mirror the listing's keywords in your skills and bullet lines, including named languages.
- Add one quantified result per recent role, using meetings booked, pipeline generated or deals closed.
- Run your finished CV through the free ATS checker to catch formatting that breaks applicant tracking systems.
- Apply to five roles this week, then follow up with a short LinkedIn note to the hiring manager.
- Track everything in a simple spreadsheet: company, role, date applied, follow-up date, outcome.
