About Bragan

Bragan is one of Europe's leading suppliers of vehicle accessories, supplying customers throughout Ireland, the UK and across international markets through multiple eCommerce channels and marketplaces.

We design, source, manufacture, import, stock, market and distribute thousands of products across the automotive, commercial vehicle and transport sectors. As a business, we have grown through innovation, determination and a willingness to continually improve.

We are now seeking an exceptional leader who wants more than a job title. We are looking for someone who wants to immerse themselves in the business, understand every moving part, help shape its future and ultimately become a key driver of the company's long-term success.

For the right person, this role offers significant progression potential, with a genuine opportunity to evolve into a senior executive or Managing Director-level position as the business continues to scale.

The Opportunity

This is not a role for someone who wants to sit behind a desk analysing reports from a distance.

We are looking for a leader who is willing to get their hands dirty, challenge existing thinking, solve problems first-hand and treat the business as if it were their own.

One day you may be reviewing financial performance, supplier agreements or sales strategy. The next you may be working alongside warehouse teams, reviewing customer service processes, helping recruit key personnel, launching a new product range, implementing AI systems or troubleshooting operational bottlenecks.

You will be expected to think strategically while remaining highly practical and execution-focused.

This is a role for someone who enjoys building, improving and growing businesses in the real world.
