Job Description

IrishJobs.ie (part of The Stepstone Group) is looking to hire an Associate Account Manager (outbound) for their Dublin office.

Join our team if you’re the kind of person who thrives on high activity, loves getting decision-makers on the phone, and wants a role where hard work directly turns into excellent earnings and progression — this one’s for you.

This is an outbound-first sales role where the expectation is clear: 80–100 dials per day (high call volume, phone-led selling). If that excites you (not scares you), you’ll have a genuine opportunity to build a career quickly here — including a clear pathway into an Account Manager role after 12 months, where you’ll combine new business with managing and growing your own customer base.

Progression: fast-track your sales career (12-month pathway)

This role is designed to accelerate your career if you perform:

• Year 1: Outbound-first full-cycle new business (build your wins, sharpen your sales habits)
• After 12 months: move into Account Manager scope — blending new business with managing and renewing your own accounts.

In this role you will:

• Prospect and call B2B businesses daily (targeting high outbound activity; phone-first approach).
• Run discovery conversations to understand hiring needs and position IrishJobs solutions.
• Pitch, quote, and close deals — and own the customers you win
• Build your pipeline, track activity, and work towards clear monthly targets with visibility on earnings.

Qualifications

We’re focused on mindset + activity + resilience — not fancy titles.

You’ll likely be a great fit if you have:

• Experience in high-volume outbound sales essential (80–100 calls/day is ideal).
• The confidence to pick up the phone, handle objections, and keep going.
• A target-driven mentality and genuine motivation to earn well.
• B2B sales, inside sales, recruitment agency, insurance/telco outbound, or call-centre style sales backgrounds can all work brilliantly here.
