About the role
We're hiring an Ireland growth lead. Someone to help us build a real business here by collaborating with the Irish design and research community, opening doors at enterprise and government, and turning genuine relationships into work.
Think of this as a front-of-house role. You'll be in rooms with Heads of Design, Research, Digital and Accessibility at Irish banks, insurers, semi-states, regulators, universities and the wider public sector. Not pitching at them, but having the kind of conversations they actually want to have. About research practice, accessibility maturity, what good looks like, and how testing with disabled and diverse users surfaces things standard audits miss.
You'll also be the face of See Me Please in the Irish design community. Showing up at meetups, on panels, in conversations that matter, and contributing as much as you take. Ireland's design and research scene is small, smart and tight-knit. We want someone who's already part of it or hungry to be.
It is a commercial role. You'll own a meaningful share of Ireland pipeline from day one and you'll be measured on growth. But the path to growth here runs through trust, craft, and a genuine respect for the people you're talking to. Our buyers are smart, sceptical of vendors, and tired of being sold to badly. Anyone who shows up with a generic deck loses them in ten minutes.
That's why what matters most is that you genuinely understand the customer. You've sat on their side of the table. Maybe you're a designer, researcher or accessibility lead who's worked inside an Irish enterprise or consultancy and wants to step into a commercial role that respects the craft. Maybe you've been in SaaS sales or consulting business development and you've always been the one who cares about the work, not just the deal. Either route works. What matters is taste, curiosity, and the discipline to turn relationships into revenue.
Why See Me Please
We're an Australian-founded platform connecting enterprise and government clients with diverse and disabled testers to surface the real-world usability and accessibility insights that standard audits miss. We're already live in the UK with Bupa and university customers, our GM EMEA Aoife Crowley is based in Ireland, and we're now investing properly in Irish and EMEA growth.
We have equity-free backing from the Australian Government's Industry Growth Program, which recognises the innovation value of the product. We were ranked sixth in the Deloitte Fast 50 Fast Starters. The team is small, senior, and consciously free of big-org bureaucracy. No startup cosplay. Just people who've built and shipped at scale and want to do it again, properly.
What you'll do
- Show up in the right rooms across Irish financial services, insurance, semi-state bodies, central and local government, regulators and higher education
- Build relationships with Heads of Design, Research, Accessibility, Digital and CX, and the procurement teams behind them
- Be a visible, generous presence in the Irish design and research community, contributing as much as you take
- Run the conversations and the process that turn early interest into signed work, with the support of our delivery and product teams
- Shape proposals, frame the value, and stay close to delivery so the work you bring in lands well and renews
- Represent See Me Please at events, on panels, in talks, and in writing where it helps
What you bring
- A firsthand appreciation of design, UX and user research, ideally built inside an enterprise organisation or consultancy where you've seen what good and bad practice look like up close
- Three or more years in a commercial-facing role, whether that's B2B SaaS sales, agency growth, consulting business development, or research or design leadership with real commercial responsibility
- Evidence that you can build pipeline in green-field territory, not just inherit a patch
- Existing roots in the Irish design or research community, or the energy and credibility to build them quickly
- Comfort with longer, multi-stakeholder enterprise and public sector cycles
- Working knowledge of Irish public procurement (OGP, eTenders) or the willingness to learn it fast
- Comfort in a startup, where you'll help write the playbook rather than inherit one
- A real belief in the mission, that designing for the margins (disability, age, language, neurodivergence) improves outcomes for everyone
Nice to have
Existing relationships in Irish financial services, insurance, higher education, or central and local government
Exposure to accessibility, WCAG, or the European Accessibility Act Experience educating buyers about a new category, not just responding to defined RFPs
A platform of your own (writing, speaking, community) in Irish design, research or design circles
What this role isn't
A strategy role with a team underneath you. You'll set the playbook and run it. A pure hunting role that ends at signature. You'll stay close to delivery and renewals because that's how this category compounds. A shark game. Our deals are considered and our buyers are sharp.
Practicalities
Ireland-based, with three to four days a week in person, primarily Dublin. Some travel across Ireland and the UK, and occasional trips to Australia.
If you've built pipeline somewhere big and want to do it again with a product you actually believe in, or you're a designer or researcher ready to step into a commercial role that respects the craft, we'd love to hear from you.
