Job description

Head of AI – Lead the Intelligence Revolution at Dexory

Wallingford, UK (Hybrid) | Permanent

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.

We offer:

Private healthcare via Bupa + 24/7 medical helpline

Employee Assistance Programme (mental health, financial, legal)

Life insurance & income protection

Pension (4%+ employee / 5% employer)

25 days holiday

️ Full onsite meals in Wallingford HQ

Team events, snacks, and a truly world-class team

As you will be helping build out the team, we do need people to be able to work in the UK and we cannot consider a fully remote role.
