Job Description

Every robot we ship starts with a plan. That is where you come in.

Dexory builds physical AI for warehouses: autonomous robots and real-time data intelligence that transform how some of the biggest names in logistics, including GXO, Maersk and DHL, run their operations. We design and build those robots at our Robotics Campus in Wallingford, and we need a Production Planner to own the plan behind every one.

You'll plan and coordinate production schedules so our robots are built efficiently and delivered on time, working closely with Procurement, Stores, Engineering and Production to keep materials, resources and priorities aligned. As we scale, you'll also shape how planning works here.

Key Responsibilities

  • Translate customer orders, demand forecasts and delivery commitments into realistic production schedules. Proactively identify changes, assess capacity and adjust plans to maintain on-time delivery.
  •  Manage MRP requirements, anticipate material shortages and work closely with Procurement to ensure components are available when needed, including long-lead-time items.
  • Collaborate with Engineering and Stores to maintain accurate BOMs and stock records, ensuring effective inventory control and minimising excess and obsolete stock.
  • Align Sales, Finance, Production and Procurement through the S&OP process, providing clear reporting, actionable insights and visibility of production performance.

Experience 

Essential

  • Proven planning experience (demand, production or materials) in manufacturing.
  • Hands-on MRP, BOM control and inventory management, with a good grasp of forecasting and supplier lead times.
  • Experience working closely with Procurement, Stores, Production, Engineering and Finance.
  • Strong analytical skills, excellent Excel and ERP/MRP or planning systems experience.
  • Clear communicator, confident to challenge assumptions and influence decisions.

Nice to have

  • Robotics, electronics or other technology-led hardware manufacturing, ideally complex or configurable products.
  • Experience in a fast-growing business, improving or building planning processes.
  • Experience managing engineering changes. 

What success looks like

One reliable plan that Commercial, Procurement, Stores, Production, Engineering and Finance all work to. On-time delivery protected as output grows, with fewer material bottlenecks and assembly disruptions. You as the go-to expert on build priorities, target dates and supply risks.
