Leadership Recruitment for Conveyors & Sortation
Confidential search for conveyor and sortation sales leadership, including Heads of Sales, Sales Directors and Commercial Directors. We run these appointments discreetly given the visibility of senior leaders in this engineering-led market.
Conveyors and sortation are the backbone of high-throughput distribution and parcel operations. From powered roller conveyors and belt systems to cross-belt and tilt-tray sorters, these are engineered, project-led sales delivered over long procurement cycles, often alongside automation, software and fit-out partners. Evara recruits the commercial people who win and manage these projects for conveyor and sortation manufacturers and integrators.
Conveyor and sortation sales are technical, project-led and high value. The best people understand throughput requirements, system design, integration risk and the operational realities of parcel, e-commerce and distribution customers, and they can manage long, multi-stakeholder buying processes. Evara is a UK intralogistics commercial recruiter that screens for engineers and solution sellers who can carry complex capital projects, not transactional sellers.
Pay in conveyors and sortation is driven by project size, system complexity and the length of the procurement cycle. Solution sellers and sales engineers who carry large, engineered capital projects are rewarded above transactional roles, often with incentives tied to project award and delivery. Reward rises with the technical content of the sale, the scale of the systems involved and the seniority of the stakeholders engaged across long buying processes.
How we work
01
We start with the commercial mandate the leader must deliver: the growth plan, the team they inherit or build, the customers and channels, and the stakeholders they answer to. We design the seat before we search for the person.
02
We build a confidential map of the relevant leadership pool across competitors and adjacent intralogistics sub-sectors, protecting both the hiring business and the leaders we approach.
03
Senior people are approached with a sanitised, credible narrative. Named-employer messaging is held back until second-stage conversations, so a sensitive search stays sensitive.
04
Leadership assessment goes beyond track record to judgement, team building, change capability and the ability to operate at board level. We test the things that actually predict success in the seat.
05
A considered shortlist, then full support through offer, acceptance and a structured first-100-days plan agreed with the board. We are as comfortable advising on team design and succession as filling a single seat.
