Staff Technical Product Manager, Robotaxi

The posting, as Wayve wrote it

Before the detail, here's the challenge you'd help us solve.

We build the embodied intelligence that moves real vehicles safely, and the ecosystem a billion machines will run on in the future. Very few people in AI can say this. Every role here, whatever the team, plugs into that.

Here’s what this particular role covers.

🛠️ About our Product Team

Our Product team works at the intersection of AI research, engineering and customer needs to shape the future of autonomous driving at Wayve. We define product direction, translate complex technical capabilities into clear roadmaps, and bring cross-functional teams together to turn research into products that deliver real-world impact.

Working closely with engineers, researchers, programme managers and automotive partners, we balance long-term ambition with practical delivery. We combine technical depth with product judgement, listen carefully to our customers and teams, and create alignment around what to build, why it matters and how we’ll measure success.

🧠 Your day-to-day

• Champion our customers, bringing a consumer mindset to complex technical decisions and keeping the user experience central to product definition, prioritisation and delivery.
• Work closely with R&D, design, system architects, software developers, safety, validation and commercial teams to align priorities, resolve trade-offs and deliver safe and delightful customer experiences.
• Support verification and validation activities, helping teams assess features against product requirements and the intended customer experience.
• Act as the product lead in internal reviews and external engagements, aligning OEMs, operational partners and other stakeholders on product direction and delivery.
• Stay current with global autonomous driving trends, regulatory developments and competitors, using these insights to inform product decisions.

🧩 What you’ll be working on

• Defining and owning the product roadmap for Level 4 autonomous driving features, aligning company strategy, customer needs and regulatory frameworks.
• Taking full end-to-end ownership of key product initiatives, from concept definition through development, implementation, validation and deployment in production.
• Translating Wayve’s AV2.0-based approach, particularly embodied AI and end-to-end learning, into scalable, reliable, market-ready features and capabilities.
• Shaping how people interact with embodied AI, working at the intersection of consumer products and deep technology to make autonomous driving experiences user-centric.

🙌 You should apply if

• You have a proven track record in technical product management, shipping products with a consumer mindset in a highly technical domain.
• You bring a strong technical background in AI/ML, software engineering, robotics or a related discipline.
• You communicate clearly in writing and in conversation, with a demonstrated ability to work effectively across cross-function

A quick, honest note before you apply.

Wayve is not a mature, fully-structured place with the playbook already written. Much of how we work is still being written, and if you join, you’ll help write it. That suits people who want real ownership more than people who need a settled structure from day one.

If that sounds like the kind of problem you want to spend your time on, we’d really like to hear from you.

At Wayve we're committed to creating a diverse, fair and respectful culture that is inclusive of everyone based on their unique skills and perspectives, and regardless of sex, race, religion or belief, ethnic or national origin, disability, age, citizenship, marital, domestic or civil partnership status, sexual orientation, gender identity, veteran status, pregnancy or related condition (including breastfeeding) or any other basis as protected by applicable law.
