## About the role

As Global Head of AV Driver Training, you'll own the strategy, standards, and operating model for how Wayve trains, certifies, and develops its on-road operational workforce — Vehicle Safety Operators and the teams that support them — across the UK, US, Germany, and Japan. This is a build role: you're accountable for defining the training architecture, building scalable curricula and certification pathways, and proving with data that training is improving readiness, consistency, and safety.

## What they're looking for

- Own global training strategy, standards, and operating model across all geographies
- Define the training architecture: scalable curricula, onboarding pathways, and certification frameworks for on-road and maintenance operational roles
- Own operational readiness — ensuring operators meet performance and safety thresholds before live on-road deployment
- Build and maintain the mechanism for converting product requirements and operational insights into rapid, targeted training updates
- Establish and own the metrics and reporting that prove training effectiveness, readiness, and adherence — and use that data to prioritise interventions
- Manage and develop Regional Training Leads, holding them accountable to a consistent global standard while enabling local adaptation
