We value diversity, embrace new perspectives, and foster an inclusive work environment; we back each other to deliver impact. Make Wayve the experience that defines your career! The Role We are looking for a Quality Management Lead / Quality Program Manager to design, implement and operationalise Wayve's Quality Management System (QMS) and Integrated Management System (IMS). This role will be responsible for leading Wayve's journey towards ISO 9001 certification, building the processes, governance, documentation standards and operational controls required to support Wayve as it transitions from a research-led organisation to a company delivering safety-critical products to global automotive OEMs. Working closely with Product, Engineering, Safety, Security and Risk teams, this individual will drive organisational maturity, establish scalable quality processes and ensure Wayve can meet the expectations of OEM partners. This is a highly cross-functional role requiring strong programme leadership, stakeholder management and change management skills. Success will depend on the ability to bring structure and consistency to a fast-moving environment while building engagement and adoption across the business. Key Responsibilities
- Lead the design, implementation and ongoing management of Wayve's ISO 9001-compliant Quality Management System.
- Develop and maintain quality policies, procedures, standards and governance frameworks.
- Build and operationalise an Integrated Management System that supports multiple compliance and regulatory frameworks.
- Drive Wayve's ISO 9001 certification programme and manage certification readiness activities.
- Establish processes for document control, process management, non-conformance management, corrective actions and continuous improvement.
- Partner with Product, Engineering, Safety, Security and Risk teams to define, document and govern critical business processes.
- Coordinate cross-functional programmes and drive delivery against quality and compliance milestones.
- Lead organisational change management activities to ensure adoption of new ways of working.
- Develop governance structures, reporting mechanisms and operating rhythms that drive accountability across teams.
- Work alongside external consultants during the initial implementation phase before assuming long-term ownership of the programme.
- Identify opportunities to improve efficiency through tooling, automation and AI-enabled workflows.
- Ensure quality processes become embedded into day-to-day operations rather than existing solely as compliance exercises.
- Experience leading the implementation of an ISO 9001 Quality Management System from design through certification.
- Strong knowledge of ISO 9001 standards, requirements and implementation methodologies.
- Experience building and operationalising governance, process management and documentation frameworks.
- Proven programme management experience leading complex cross-functional initiatives.
- Demonstrated success driving organisational change and influencing stakeholders across multiple teams.
- Experience creating and improving quality processes within technology, software or engineering organisations.
- Ability to work independently and establish structure in ambiguous environments.
- Strong stakeholder management and communication skills.
- Experience developing audit-ready documentation, policies and operational controls.
- Track record of delivering outcomes rather than producing recommendations alone.
- Experience implementing quality management systems within a scaling technology company or startup environment.
- Experience working within automotive, mobility, telecommunications or other highly regulated industries.
- Knowledge of Automotive SPICE and its relationship to broader quality management systems.
- Familiarity with ISO 31000, ISO 26262 or other risk, safety and compliance frameworks.
- Experience developing Integrated Management Systems covering multiple standards and compliance requirements.
- Experience working with OEM customers and customer-driven compliance requirements.
- Consulting background combined with hands-on implementation experience.
- Experience leveraging AI and automation tools to improve operational efficiency and documentation workflows.
- Experience supporting organisations through periods of significant operational maturity and productisation.
