The Role:

Enterprise Ireland’s UK team is developing and delivering an initiative to help high\-potential Irish

Tech \& Services companies, that may have already been successful in Ireland and other markets,

to enter and scale in the UK in a more systematic, less fragmented way, reducing friction, avoiding

“start–pause–restart” cycles, and connecting companies to the right buyers, partners, and routes

to market.

An opportunity has arisen for a Market Advisor to join the team in our London office and play a

key role in this initiative. The role will, over time, develop a portfolio of client companies

progressing through this particular journey, while initially focusing on execution, analysis and

delivery support to help shape, test and embed the approach in the UK team, UK strategy and

our ecosystem.

The Market Advisor will work closely with the UK Manager – Technology \& Services, Enterprise

Ireland sector colleagues, and a wide network of third parties across London and the wider UK,

including accelerators, scale\-up organisations and ecosystem partners to create meaningful

opportunities and practical supports for Enterprise Ireland client companies.

This role will involve regular travel across the UK and to Ireland, as required.

Key Deliverables:

Impact

• Support the delivery of the initiative by helping to develop a repeatable, practical approach that

accelerates high\-potential Tech \& Services companies from “start” to “scale” in the UK.

• Help identify and prioritise companies with strong signals of UK scaling readiness (e.g., product–

market fit, scalable model, repeatable revenue, leadership capability, resourcing) and support

their progression through the journey as the portfolio grows. Build and leverage a network of

channel partners, industry influencers and ecosystem partners to create competitive advantage

for our clients.

• Broker introductions to relevant buyers, partners, and routes\-to\-market stakeholders where

appropriate, aligning opportunities to client readiness and strategic fit.

• Contribute to developing interventions that address common scaling barriers (e.g., buyer access

and network access, leadership/talent considerations, scaling operations), working collaboratively

with colleagues and partners

Ecosystem and Third\-Party Engagement* Build and maintain productive relationships with third\-party organisations across London and the

wider UK, such as accelerators, scale\-up programmes, innovation hubs, and other ecosystem

stakeholders, to expand pathways, connections and practical supports for EI client companies.

• Convene and deliver ecosystem activity (e.g., roundtables, clinics, curated networking, partner

sessions) that increases access to relevant networks, insight and opportunity for participating

companies.

• Represent and promote the strategy externally when appropriate, ensuring communications are

professional, consistent, and aligned with Enterprise Ireland’s objectives (with representation

scope agreed through the line manager).

Communication and Knowledge Management* Proactively identify and share market and ecosystem insights, including emerging opportunities

and risks relevant to Tech \& Services companies scaling in the UK with Enterprise Ireland

colleagues and clients.

• Maintain accurate and timely updates in Enterprise Ireland systems (including CRM) to support

effective portfolio management, knowledge sharing and internal reporting.

• Work collaboratively across the UK team, Enterprise Ireland’s overseas network and HQ

colleagues to ensure joined\-up, high\-quality support for clients.

approach to professionalism befitting a highly regarded government agency.

development, partnerships, programme delivery, ecosystem/accelerator roles, or commercial

strategy), ideally with exposure to Tech and/or Services scaling challenges is essential.* Strong analytical and execution capability: able to gather information from multiple sources

(clients, partners, internal stakeholders), synthesise patterns, identify friction points, and translate

findings into practical actions and deliverable supports is essential

• Strong understanding of how companies scale in\-market, including common barriers in market

entry and growth (networks, routes to market, operating model readiness, and leadership/talent

considerations) is essential

• Ability to build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders across client companies and third\-

party organisations, and to convene groups to create practical outcomes (introductions, learning,

partnerships, momentum) is essential

• Confident communication and presentation skills, with the ability to influence, convene and

represent Enterprise Ireland appropriately in external settings (including events and partner

engagements).

• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple workstreams (client needs,

ecosystem activity, internal coordination) while maintaining high\-quality delivery and reporting.

• Ability and willingness to travel regularly across the UK and to Ireland, as required.
