About the role
As Director of Technical Program Management for Driver Out at Wayve, you'll own the multi-year program that takes Wayve's autonomy technology and operationalises it - from our first eyes-off, driver-out demonstration through to a productised, scaled service on public roads. Driver Out is the underlying technology program behind Wayve's robotaxi ambitions: where the robotaxi pilots prove the product in different markets, you own the safety, systems, and delivery foundations that make driver-out real.
What they're looking for
- Own the Driver Out program end-to-end: Define and drive the multi-year plan and milestones - from the first driver-out demonstration to public-road product integration and minimal scaling - from concept to operation
- Lead the program org: Build, coach, and grow the TPM team across the program, set the operating model and hold workstream leads to account
- Drive the critical path: Turn a complex set of “must be true” conditions into a sequenced plan, own dependencies, risk, and trade-offs across every workstream
- Partner across the company and externally: Align engineering, science, safety, product, and operations - and external partners (OEMs, Uber) - on scope, sequencing, and readiness
- Establish scalable practices: Governance, milestone and launch-readiness reviews, KPIs and dashboards, escalations, and risk-budget management
- Represent Driver Out at the top: Report progress, risk, and readiness to the executive team, and steer the biggest calls
