Product Manager; Driving Features

Requirements

• In order to set you up for success as a Product Manager at Wayve, we’re looking for the following skills and experience
• Demonstrated ability to independently own a substantial work package and lead a cross-functional team to deliver it. You take outcomes personally and don’t wait to be unblocked
• Strong technical depth, ideally in AI / ML, autonomy, robotics or another deep-tech domain, with the credibility to engage senior engineers and researchers as a peer
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills. A careful listener, a clear writer, and someone who can motivate and energise a team through ambiguity
• Proven track record in product management, technical program management or a similar role on complex, cutting-edge technical products
• High autonomy, strong judgment and a bias for action. Comfortable making decisions with imperfect information and adjusting as you learn
• (Desirable) Domain experience in autonomous driving, ADAS, automotive or other safety-critical product areas. Useful but not required. We will help the right person ramp up on the domain
• (Desirable) Hands-on background in AI / ML, for example research, applied ML, or shipping ML-powered products
• (Desirable) Background working across global teams (US, UK, and EU) in a startup or scale-up environment
• We understand that everyone has a unique set of skills and experiences and that not everyone will meet all of the requirements listed above. If you’re passionate about self-driving cars and think you have what it takes to make a positive impact on the world, we encourage you to apply

• As Product Manager, AI Driver, based in our Sunnyvale office, you will independently own a critical work package within Wayve’s AI Driver product and lead a cross-functional team to deliver it end-to-end
• You’ll set the technical direction, drive priorities across engineering, AI research and program management
• You will rally the team around clear, ambitious goals
• This is a high-ownership, high-impact role for someone who pairs deep AI technical depth with the soft skills to listen, motivate and align brilliant teams toward shared outcomes
• Independently own a substantial work package end-to-end. Define the problem, set the strategy, sequence the work, and lead the team to ship outcomes that move the AI Driver product forward
• Lead a cross-functional team of engineers, researchers and PMs without formal authority. Give them clarity, remove blockers, and motivate them through hard, ambiguous problems
• Engage deeply with technical detail across AI / ML, autonomy and embodied AI. Debate trade-offs credibly with senior researchers and engineers, and bring structured thinking to complex technical decisions
• Translate research progress and customer needs into a clear product roadmap, sequencing capabilities to maximise impact and de-risk delivery
• Communicate crisply across audiences, from deep technical reviews with researchers, to executive updates with leadership, to customer-facing conversations
• Listen actively to engineers, partners and customers, and turn what you hear into better decisions and stronger team alignment
• Set, track and report on clear KPIs and milestones, and establish the operating rhythm the team needs to deliver
