Entry Level Sales Executive | Business Development & Leadership Programme

Most entry level jobs hand you a narrow role, a narrow desk, and a narrow future.

This is not that.

What is DG Ventures?

We are a group of companies building across tourism, travel, events, outsourcing, media, property, transport, AI, and private equity. We are not a startup finding its feet. We are a scaling business that is growing fast enough to have added two extra floors to our Mullingar head office and opened a brand new office in South Africa.

100 new hires across multiple brands and counting.

The people joining now are not filling seats. They are getting in early on something that is genuinely moving.

Before you go any further: this role is based full time in Mullingar, Co. Westmeath . If you cannot get here reliably Monday to Friday, we would rather you found that out now than halfway through the process.

Why We Start Everyone in Sales

Every great business leader has one thing in common. They understand how to sell.

Not because they spent their whole career in sales, but because sales teaches you things no classroom ever will. How to listen properly. How to persuade without being pushy. How to handle rejection and come back stronger. How to read people, build real relationships, and close. These are not just sales skills. They are leadership skills. Life skills. The kind of skills that transfer into every role, every industry, and every level of seniority.

At DG Ventures, you will start in sales. That is not a compromise or a temporary inconvenience on the way to something better. It is the foundation we build everything else on. The people who now lead our teams, run our operations, and manage our companies started exactly where you will start. On the phone. Learning the business from the ground up.

If you can sell, you can do almost anything. We believe that completely. And we are looking for people who believe it too.

Where This Goes

The long-term vision is simple. Start in the business. Learn fast. Perform. Lead people. Understand numbers. Help grow companies. Earn the opportunity to one day run one.

You may begin across sales, business development, operations, marketing, AI implementation, or private equity support. But the goal is to develop people who grow into:

• Sales Lead
• Business Development Manager
• Operations Manager
• Private Equity Analyst
• Portfolio Manager
• Integrator / COO
• Portfolio Company CEO

As the group grows and acquires more businesses, more leadership seats open up. The people who perform, lead well, use AI, understand numbers, and execute properly will move quickly. This is not a guaranteed path to CEO. But it is a real pathway for the right person to build the skills, experience, and track record to one day run a company within the DG Ventures portfolio.

We are not looking for people who just want a title. We are looking for people who want to build the skills to deserve one.

What You Will Learn

• Sales and revenue growth
• Business operations
• Managing teams
• AI implementation
• Private equity and acquisitions
• Business improvement
• Financial reporting and KPIs
• Scaling companies
• Leadership development

• A strong communicator who can hold a real conversation and express themselves clearly
• Comfortable with pressure and able to stay focused when things get difficult
• Genuinely interested in business, sales, investing, AI, and leadership
• Fully fluent in English, written and spoken — this is an essential requirement for the role
• Able to reliably commute to our Mullingar office Monday to Friday, own transport or public transport both fine

What You Get

• Competitive base salary with uncapped commission — your effort directly drives your earnings
• A real career pathway across multiple companies and industries as we grow
• Regular personal and professional development training that is actually useful
• Hybrid working available after an initial onboarding period, full details discussed at interview stage
