WMS and WES commercial talent is a hybrid pool. The strongest sellers combine software commercial skill with real warehouse and supply chain knowledge, and they often move between the established WMS vendors, the software arms of automation businesses and adjacent supply chain technology. Pre-sales and solutions consultants who can run a credible demo and discovery against operational buyers are particularly scarce. Because these people are in demand across the wider technology market, confidential, well-briefed approaches matter.
Pay in WMS and WES software follows wider enterprise software patterns, shaped by deal size, sales cycle length and whether a role is new business, enterprise or strategic account focused. New logo enterprise sellers and pre-sales consultants who carry large, complex deals are rewarded above transactional roles, with commission a significant part of the package. Reward rises with the scale of deals carried, the seniority of the buyers engaged and the technical depth required to win.
Leeds City Station gives strong rail links to York (25 min), Manchester (60 min), Sheffield (45 min) and Harrogate (30 min), making it a viable HQ for a regional team.
How we work
01
We start with a structured kick-off that captures the commercial objective, not just the title. Reporting line, package, the deal sizes the person will sell, the technical buyers they will sell to, and the behaviours that succeed in your environment.
02
We map where the right people actually sit, across direct competitors, adjacent intralogistics sub-sectors and proven environments in your region. This becomes the longlist of candidates we approach, not just whoever is on the job boards this week.
03
Candidates are approached with a clear commercial narrative, not a job advert. We communicate the opportunity, the products, the customers and the growth path, so only genuinely relevant people move forward.
04
Two structured commercial screens before a candidate ever reaches you. Track record validation, deal-stage probing, technical credibility and a credibility check on the numbers they have actually delivered.
05
You receive a considered shortlist, not a CV flood. Each candidate is presented with strengths, potential risks and a fit assessment. We then support the process through to offer, acceptance and the first 90 days.

Selling warehouse software needs both software commercial discipline and genuine operational credibility. A specialist recruiter screens for sellers who understand the warehouse, not just generalist software closers.
Yes. Pre-sales and solutions consultants who can run credible discovery and demos against operational buyers are scarce and central to winning, so they are a core part of our work in this segment.
