Supply Planner Core Operations Munich

Helsing is a defence AI company. Our mission is to protect our democracies. We aim to achieve technological leadership, so that open societies can continue to make sovereign decisions and control their ethical standards.

As democracies, we believe we have a special responsibility to be thoughtful about the development and deployment of powerful technologies like AI. We take this responsibility seriously.

We are an ambitious and committed team of engineers, AI specialists and customer-facing programme managers. We are looking for mission-driven people to join our European teams – and apply their skills to solve the most complex and impactful problems. We embrace an open and transparent culture that welcomes healthy debates on the use of technology in defence, its benefits, and its ethical implications.

As Supply Planner at Helsing, you will take responsibility for planning and managing material flows across production and project work streams, working within established processes while building the experience and judgement to handle increasingly complex supply environments. Your work connects suppliers, procurement, logistics, and production teams, and the quality of your coordination across those boundaries will directly influence whether Helsing can meet its programme commitments on time.

You will maintain visibility over inventory levels, monitor delivery schedules, and act promptly when supply chains come under pressure. At this level, you will take genuine ownership of defined planning work streams, supported by senior colleagues while growing your ability to manage escalations, prioritise competing demands, and improve the processes that keep material flowing.

• Plan and manage material requirements and delivery schedules across assigned production and project work streams, ensuring availability is secured before it creates a bottleneck
• Monitor supply chain status continuously, identifying risks early and coordinating escalations in the event of shortages to minimise disruption to production
• Coordinate with suppliers, procurement, logistics, and production teams to align on priorities, resolve conflicts, and maintain an accurate picture of material status
• Analyse inventory levels, demand forecasts, and supplier delivery performance to support planning decisions and surface deviations before they affect programme delivery
• Prioritise critical material flows under constraint, making clear trade‑off recommendations that protect the most time‑sensitive commitments
• Maintain planning and scheduling processes within your scope, identifying gaps and contributing improvements that increase reliability and reduce manual effort
• Track supplier delivery performance within assigned work streams and contribute data to supplier reviews that support procurement accountability

• Can interpret inventory data, demand forecasts, and supplier performance metrics to make sound planning decisions under time pressure
  
  Have supported or managed supply escalations and shortages, keeping stakeholders informed and production protected through clear prioritisation and timely coordination
• Bring a structured approach to scheduling and process management, maintaining rigour when workloads are high and priorities shift
