Senior Warehouse Labour Planning & Systems Specialist

Contract: 3-month Fixed-Term Contract (FTC)

Salary: £55,000–£65,000 per annum, depending on experience

Reporting to: Chief Product Officer

Predyktable is building software that transforms how warehouses plan, schedule and deploy their workforce.

We combine forecast demand, predicted productivity, workforce availability and operational constraints to calculate labour requirements and recommend how best to use the people available.

Our software helps planners identify labour shortages and surpluses, optimise labour costs, respond to changing conditions and make better decisions without relying on complex spreadsheets and manual calculations.

Our aim is to remove the administrative burden of warehouse labour planning, freeing planners to spend less time maintaining spreadsheets, reconciling data and producing reports, and more time making better operational decisions.

We're looking for someone who has significant experience doing the job we're trying to make easier, and who understands the systems and data behind effective warehouse labour planning.

Someone who has developed or improved planning models, managed workforce requirements, analysed operational performance and understands how planning decisions affect the running of a warehouse.

You’ll work directly with our product and engineering teams, helping us validate our planning models, challenge assumptions and business rules, and develop functionality that reflects the realities of warehouse operations.

We're not looking to simply recreate existing planning processes in software. We want someone who can help us improve them.

This isn't a traditional warehouse planning role. It's an opportunity to help build the tools you would have wanted when you were doing the job yourself.

• Explain how warehouses forecast demand, calculate labour requirements and build operational plans.
• Advise on how productivity, workforce availability, shift patterns and operational constraints influence planning decisions.
• Provide insight into managing agency labour, overtime, absence, capacity constraints and task-level deployment.
• Identify the operational exceptions, planning challenges and decisions that our software needs to accommodate.
• Validate our labour planning outputs, ensuring calculations, assumptions and business rules reflect how warehouses operate in practice.
• Review how demand, productivity, labour availability and operational constraints are used to calculate labour requirements and inform planning decisions.
• Challenge existing planning rules and recommendations, identifying where alternative approaches could deliver better operational outcomes.
• Advise on the key metrics, KPIs and operational insights warehouses use to monitor labour, productivity, costs and service performance.
• Help identify the data and reporting requirements that support effective planning, performance monitoring and operational decision-making.

• Map existing planning and scheduling workflows, identifying administrative inefficiencies and opportunities for improvement.
• Translate operational requirements into clear business rules and product functionality.
• Work with product and engineering teams to challenge system behaviour and identify improvements.
• Review software designs, prototypes and features to ensure they are intuitive and reflect real operational needs.
• Help develop realistic planning scenarios and test cases to validate our labour planning and Intelligent Deployment capabilities.
• Provide practical guidance on product features, functionality and usability, ensuring the…
