The market we serve is highly competitive, dynamic and fast moving and we have customers who are ever more discerning. Therefore, we need to recruit and retain people of the highest quality if we are to succeed. That’s why we need to build relationships with our people so that we can understand everyone’s individual strengths and areas of development.

At Sage you’ll be joining a team that is self-motivated, driven and passionate about customers and that is committed to delivering results. We believe we provide our people with an environment in which individual talent can be identified, recognised and rewarded. At Sage, we never lose sight of the fact that it is our people that underpin our success.

Our goal is to be an admired employer. This means that people will want to join Sage as a place of choice, achievement and opportunity, and one where they can genuinely be successful and fulfilled in their careers. People who work with us will recognise that the environment we create maximises their potential and is a place where innovation and creativity can flourish. Above all we continue to consider accountability as central to everything we do and maintain an environment where entrepreneurship is welcomed. At Sage we seek out and develop talent. We expect people to work in the spirit of our guiding principles and collaborate with each other in order to get the best results.

Training, development and lifelong learning are key aspects of Sage Ireland’s people strategy and the leadership team are committed to providing the necessary tools for all our employees to grow and develop in their careers.

Our aim is to continually enhance both the business and the personal skills of employees. To do this, Sage provides educational sponsorship to employees who wish to pursue external courses of study which result in recognised professional qualifications and which contribute to the effectiveness and competence in an employee’s current or future role.

Continued training and coaching is necessary to remain up-skilled in such a fast-moving industry. Sage has put in place on-the-job training and coaching by our dedicated internal training team and training programmes which employees are encouraged to attend.

Sage recognises the importance of continuous management development. We organise management programmes for aspiring and existing managers to build their skills in running a business and to effectively manage people. Many of our team leaders and managers started with us in the early stages of their career. If you have the desire to develop, we will give you the opportunity to achieve your full potential and will encourage you to develop your skills and knowledge of our business.

On a final note, Sage supports and encourages the concept of lifelong learning. It’s never too soon or late for learning. Lifelong learners plan their own learning, learn from their peers and use different learning strategies for different situations. In today’s fast-paced organisations, this allows people to be better able to react in an agile manner to a rapidly changing business climate. Therefore, the promotion of lifelong learning is of great importance to us.

To achieve our goal of being recognised as one of the most admired employers, we strive for fairness and consistency in the way we reward our people and ensure that there is as much transparency as possible in our pay and benefits policies. We offer people benefit packages based around their roles. We pay a base salary at or around the market median and reward exceptional performance with additional remuneration, such as commission, bonus schemes or other incentives. We offer many benefits to our employees. These include:

• 25 days annual leave in addition to bank holidays
• Health Insurance Plan
• Pension Scheme
• Sharesave Scheme
• Christmas Savings Scheme
• Educational Sponsorship
• Reward and Recognition programme
• Employee Assistance Programme
• Long Service Awards

If you join Sage you will enjoy working in an environment that is totally committed to equality and fairness and encourages and supports open and honest dialogue at all levels.

We commit to working together to maintain a workplace environment that encourages and supports the right to dignity at work. All who work here are expected to respect the right of each individual to dignity in their working life.

To enhance the service we provide to our internal and external customers, other essential departments in Sage include Finance, Human Resources, Information Systems, Marketing and Professional Services.
