Head of Supply Chain & Logistics

Humanoid is the first AI and robotics company in the UK, creating the world’s most advanced, reliable, commercially scalable, and safe humanoid robots. Our first humanoid robot HMND 01 is a next-gen labour automation unit, providing highly efficient services across various use cases, starting with industrial applications.


We are looking for a Head of Supply Chain & Logistics to join our team based in London, UK.

Our Mission

At Humanoid we strive to create the world’s leading, commercially scalable, safe, and advanced humanoid robots that seamlessly integrate into daily life and amplify human capacity.

Vision

In a world where artificial intelligence opens up new horizons, our faith in its potential unveils a new outlook where, together, humans and machines build a new future filled with knowledge, inspiration, and incredible discoveries. The development of a functional humanoid robot underpins an era of abundance and well-being where poverty will disappear, and people will be able to choose what they want to do. We believe that providing a universal basic income will eventually be a true evolution of our civilization.

Solution

As the demands on our built environment rise, labour shortages loom. With the world’s workforce increasingly moving away from undesirable tasks, the manufacturing, construction, and logistics industries critical to our daily lives are left exposed. By deploying our general-purpose humanoid robots in environments deemed hazardous or monotonous, we envision a future where human well-being is safeguarded while closing the gaps in critical global labour needs.

Responsibilities

Strategic Supply Chain Leadership

• Lead the development and execution of a global supply chain strategy aligned with fast-paced R&D and long-term production goals.
• Define and implement business capabilities across supply chain sourcing, logistics, planning, compliance, and cost optimisation.
• Build a supply network that is resilient, cost-effective, and scalable from prototype to production.

Procurement & Sourcing

• Own sourcing strategy and procurement operations across electromechanical, electronic, and custom components.
• Ensure high availability, short lead times, and competitive pricing across all categories.
• Build strategic supplier relationships and performance management systems.
• Drive cost modelling and commercial negotiation to ensure value at every stage.

Global Logistics & Trade Operations

• Design and manage international logistics infrastructure across our R&D centers in the UK, US, and Canada.
• Oversee the movement of materials and assemblies, ensuring compliance, speed, and cost-efficiency.
• Manage customs, import/export controls, and trade risks across jurisdictions.

Business Process & Systems Design

• Architect and implement core operational processes, including BOM structuring, inventory visibility, planning workflows, and supplier portals.
• Select and deploy fit-for-purpose tools (e.g., ERP, MRP, PLM) to support execution at scale.
• Define operational metrics and dashboards for supply health, lead times, and cost performance.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner closely with engineering, advanced manufacturing, prototype production, finance, and executive teams to deliver at speed.
• Support NPI, pilot builds, and the transition to contract manufacturing.
• Collaborate with compliance/legal to manage dual-use goods, export restrictions, and sensitive component tracking.

Expertise

• 10+ years of experience in global supply chain and logistics leadership roles, ideally in robotics, aerospace, automotive, or advanced hardware.
• Demonstrated success leading strategic supply chain development in high-growth or fast-paced product companies.
• Strong command of global sourcing, logistics, compliance, and cost management.
• Experience designing and implementing supply chain business capabilities and operational systems from scratch.
• Deep understanding of prototype and production supply chains across multi-site R&D environments.
• Highly collaborative and execution-driven—able to zoom between strategy and detail on a daily basis.

Bonus Points:

• Background in high-mix, low-volume manufacturing or early-stage contract manufacturing transitions.
• Knowledge of robotic systems, actuation, sensing, and electromechanical integration.
• Experience with ERP/PLM/MRP system design and rollout.
• Familiarity with ITAR, EAR, or other export compliance frameworks.

Benefits

• High competitive salary.
• 23 working days of vacation per year.
• Flexible working hours.
• Opportunity to work on the latest technologies in AI and Robotics.
• Startup model, offering a dynamic and innovative work environment.
