At Geely, our story began in 1986 with a simple but powerful idea, an idea that has driven us to become one of the world's most forward-thinking automotive groups. For nearly three decades, we've been redefining mobility through our iconic global brands, including Geely Auto, Volvo Cars, Polestar, Lotus, Zeekr, Lynk & Co, the London Electric Vehicle Company, Farizon, and more.

Following the successful establishment of Geely Auto UK, we are now creating a dedicated National Sales Company in Ireland as part of Geely's continued European expansion.

We're looking for ambitious automotive professionals who want the rare opportunity to build a new national business from the ground up, backed by one of the world's leading automotive technology groups.

Few careers offer the opportunity to build a national automotive business, shape a brand and influence its future from day one. This is one of them.

Exciting products are just the beginning. You'll play a key part in the business that brings them to Ireland.
