Manufacturing tech recruitment · MES · ERP · Industrial IoT · Supply chain
The people who make factories run on software.
Specialist search across manufacturing software, from MES and ERP to industrial IoT, automation and supply chain platforms: the consultants and architects who deliver it, and the AEs and pre-sales people who sell it. For software vendors, system integrators and the manufacturers implementing them.
Working remotely with US, UK & EU teams
Why a specialist
Manufacturing-tech talent is scarce, and easy to get wrong.
The pool is small, most good people are already on a project, and a CV full of the right acronyms can still hide someone who has never taken a site live.
We’ve spent years in this market. We know the difference between configuring a platform and owning a rollout, between a validated pharma environment and a discrete plant, and which questions separate the two in a first call.
The same goes for sales. Most SaaS sellers can’t hold a conversation with a plant manager or a QA lead in a validated environment. The ones who can are rare, and worth finding.
Who we hire for
Every side of an implementation.
Software vendors
MES, ERP, industrial IoT and supply chain software companies, from established platforms to fast-growing manufacturing-software startups, hiring for product, pre-sales and delivery.
System integrators
Consultancies and partners that need certified, billable consultants and project leads who can start on a client site quickly.
Manufacturers & pharma
Plants and life-sciences companies building in-house MES teams to run, extend and validate the systems they’ve bought.
Roles we fill
The people who deliver it, and the people who sell it.
Across discrete, process and life-sciences manufacturing, including the skills hardest to find right now: SAP ME / MII → SAP Digital Manufacturing migrations ahead of SAP’s 2027 maintenance deadline, and Körber PAS-X.

The approach
A shortlist you can actually hire from.
01
Scorecard first
Platform, industry, project phase and client-facing level are agreed up front, so every candidate is measured against the job you actually need done.
02
Direct approach
The strongest manufacturing-tech people aren’t applying. We map the market and reach them individually through a 21,000+ professional network across EMEA and the US.
03
Evidence, written up
Each shortlisted candidate comes with notes on go-lives, platforms, motivation, rate or salary and risks, so your interviews start at the hard questions.
“Hiring someone new into any business is fraught with risk, however hiring Maja is a ‘sure thing’.”
“From the outset, Maja showed a strong understanding of both the role and the company’s needs … I would happily recommend working with her on senior-level hiring.”
