Showroom & Operations Manager

We are partnering with a highly respected, well-established Galway SME with a dominant local presence, exceptional walk in trade, and long standing contractor relationships to find them a suitably experienced Showroom & Operations Manager (Retail / Trade) - in Galway offering a salary of €45,000 - €60,000 DOE + potential Bonus Full Time Permanent.

With a 98% customer recommendation rate, this business has built its reputation on quality, consistency, and outstanding service delivery and is now looking for a commercially astute operator to take ownership of its showroom and day to day operations.

This is not a passive management role. It's a hands on leadership position with real influence across sales performance, operational flow, and customer experience.

The Role

You will take full responsibility for the daily running of a busy showroom, ensuring every opportunity is maximised-from walk in customers to trade enquiries-while keeping operations tight, efficient and aligned across the business.

Key areas of ownership

• Drive showroom sales performance and conversion rates
• Manage customer experience end to end (walk ins, enquiries, quotations, follow ups)
• Lead and support sales team performance and accountability
• Coordinate seamlessly between showroom, warehouse, and joinery teams
• Maintain strong operational systems, processes, and organisation
• Work closely with senior management to improve efficiency and commercial output

What We're Looking For

• Proven background in retail or trade sales environments (builders merchants, interiors, flooring, kitchens, etc.)
• Strong track record of hitting targets and driving revenue
• Experience running or owning a showroom, store, or trade counter
• Highly organised with exceptional follow through
• Confident, credible, and strong with customers and team leadership
• Naturally takes ownership and responsibility-no need for constant direction

What This Role Is Not

• Not suitable for entry level candidates
• Not suited to purely field based/on the road sales profiles
• Not for individuals lacking structure, organisation, or accountability

Package

• €45,000 - €60,000 base salary (depending on experience)
• Possible performance related bonus structure
• Long term opportunity within a growing, reputable business
• Autonomy and real influence over sales and operations performance

Benefits including

• Employee/store discounts
• Private medical insurance
• Bike to work scheme
• Company events
• On site parking

Why This Role Stands Out

This is a high impact position within a business that already has strong foundations-you role is to elevate performance, tighten operations, and maximise commercial output.

If you're someone who thrives on ownership, accountability, and delivering results, this is a genuine opportunity to make your mark.

Applicants must have the legal right to work in Ireland.

We are proud to be an equal opportunities employer.
