Account Manager - Daft.ie (Cork Region)

What’s the Opportunity

At Daft.ie, we are moving beyond traditional service models to a Strategic Partnership Framework. As an Account Manager, you will be the lead consultant for a dedicated portfolio of estate agency partners in the Cork region.

Your mission is to transition agents from tactical interactions to a high-value, long-term partnership model. This is a hybrid role requiring a sophisticated balance: 70% of your time will be spent farming and scaling revenue within your existing client book, while 30% of your time will be dedicated to hunting and winning new high-priority partnerships in the territory.

What will I be doing

• Strategic Account Ownership: You will take full lead on your accounts,  proactively identifying growth opportunities and driving value, focusing on deepening engagement and maximizing long-term value.

• The Partnership Rollout: You will lead the migration of agents into our Good-Better-Best (GBB) model, ensuring they are aligned with the package that best fits their market goals.

• ROI Storytelling: You will conduct high-impact Annual Business Reviews (ABR) and Quarterly Business Reviews (QBR). You will use data to tell stories that prove the financial return on marketing investments.

• Strategic Hunting: You will proactively identify and secure new agency partnerships in the region to expand our market footprint.

• Performance Coaching: You will act as a consultant to your clients, helping them identify gaps in their current performance and coaching them on how to leverage visibility tools effectively.

• Commercial Mastery: You will deliver complex commercial conversations with confidence, navigating market shifts and competitive dynamics with ease.

• Adoption Advocacy: You will drive the usage of our efficiency and productivity tools, helping agents buy back time and modernise their workflows.

What skills and experience do I need

• Minimum of 5 years of experience in account management or client-facing roles, with a proven track record of success in driving revenue growth.

• Strategic Sales Experience: A proven track record in account management where you have successfully retained and grown high-value client relationships.

• The Hybrid Skill Set: A natural ability to build deep trust over years while maintaining the drive to close new deals and open new doors.

• Communication Mastery: You must be an expert in ROI Storytelling, capable of justifying premium pricing by demonstrating tangible business value.

• Analytical Mindset: You can look at performance data and identify where a client is leaking potential revenue and how to plug those gaps.

• Resilience & Negotiation: Experience in managing difficult commercial conversations and objection handling within a competitive landscape.

• Operational Excellence: A commitment to high-standard review cycles and the ability to finalize 12-month strategic roadmaps with key stakeholders.
