Office & Business Development Administrator Gorey, Co. Wexford | Full-Time
We are looking for an energetic, ambitious and organised person to join our growing horticultural business in Gorey, Co. Wexford.
This is a varied role within an expanding business, covering office administration, accounts, customer service, website management, purchasing and business development.

- Helping with the development of new plants, products and planters.
- Looking at ways to make our products more cost-effective to produce.
- Supporting management with the day-to-day running and development of the business.
Improving the Business
We want someone who will look at how we do things and ask:
“Can we do this better, differently or more cost-effectively?”
As the business grows, you’ll be encouraged to:
- Improve office systems and processes.
- Find easier ways to manage orders and paperwork.
- Explore new software and technology.
- Identify ways to reduce costs and improve efficiency.
- Research grants and funding opportunities.
- Bring new ideas to management and help put them into practice.
- Develop new ideas for plants, planters and products.

- Creative and willing to think outside the box.
- Commercially minded and conscious of costs.
- Proactive and willing to take responsibility.
- Interested in horticulture, plants and product development.
- A good communicator.
- Able to work independently and as part of a team.
- Keen to learn and develop alongside an expanding business.
Experience with Sage, VAT, accounts, websites or online systems would be an advantage, but experience is not essential as full training will be provided for the right person.
The Opportunity
We are an expanding horticultural business, and this is an opportunity to join us at an exciting stage of our growth.
This is not simply an office administration role. The successful person will have the opportunity to become involved in accounts, customers, website management, suppliers, product development, purchasing, grants and business improvement.
We want someone who will grow with the company, bring fresh ideas, challenge the way we currently do things and help us develop the business.
