About the job
Head of AI – Lead the Intelligence Revolution at Dexory
Wallingford, UK (Hybrid) | Permanent | Share Options + Benefits
The Mission:
We’re building the world’s most advanced, real-time warehouse intelligence platform powered by autonomous robots and AI that thinks spatially, reasons like a human, and drives logistics performance instantly.
We’ve nailed the robotics. We’ve scaled the deployments. Now we’re embedding real-time cognition.
This is your chance to lead Dexory’s first AI team and architect the brain of the autonomous warehouse.
Your Impact:
As Head of AI, you’ll go beyond leading a function; you’ll shape its future. You’ll blend strategic thinking with hands-on building, defining how our platform sees, thinks, learns, and adapts at scale.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Own and lead Dexory’s AI strategy across perception, planning, decision intelligence, and learning systems
- Spend 60–70% of your time building, designing, coding, deploying AI/ML systems in live environments
- Attract, recruit and grow a world-class AI team from scratch
- Work cross-functionally with product, robotics and commercial to translate AI into real customer value
- Make key calls on infrastructure, architecture and platform design to establish a long-term competitive edge
- Own the AI product vision; what we build is as much your decision as how we build it
What You’ll Bring:
- Deep, hands-on experience deploying AI/ML in the real world (robotics, logistics, automation or high-consequence systems)
- A strong systems mindset. Be comfortable owning end-to-end AI systems, not just models
- Proven leadership in both technical design and team mentorship
- Confident communicator and collaborator who thrives in ambiguity and urgency
- Excitement for early-stage building, where your code, leadership and ideas all shape the product
Why Dexory:
We’re not just shipping products; we’re shaping a category. You’ll be trusted to lead, take risks, and deliver impact from day one.
