Make Wayve the experience that defines your career!
The role
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.
Key Responsibilities
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.
About you
In order to set you up for success as a Product Manager at Wayve, we’re looking for the following skills and experience.
Essential
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.
Hands-on background in AI / ML, for example research, applied ML, or shipping ML-powered products.
Background working across global teams (US ↔ UK / EU) in a startup or scale-up environment.
This role is a full-time role based in Sunnyvale, CA (hybrid) and the reasonably estimated salary for this role ranges from $204,100 to $256,700, plus a competitive equity package. Actual compensation is based on the candidate's skills, qualifications, and experience. At Wayve we want the best of all worlds so we operate a hybrid working policy that combines time together in our offices and workshops to fuel innovation, culture, relationships and learning, and time spent working from home
Wayve is committed to creating an inclusive interview experience. If you require any accommodations or adjustments to participate fully in our interview process, please let us know.
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.
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.
