About the Role
Design, implement, and operationalize Wayve's Quality Management System (QMS) and Integrated Management System (IMS). Lead the journey towards ISO 9001 certification, building processes, governance, and documentation standards to support the transition from a research-led organization to a company delivering safety-critical products. Drive organizational maturity, establish scalable quality processes, and ensure Wayve meets OEM partner expectations.
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 operationalize an Integrated Management System supporting multiple compliance and regulatory frameworks.
- Drive Wayve's ISO 9001 certification program 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 programs and drive delivery against quality and compliance milestones.
- Lead organizational 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.
- 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.
Requirements

- Strong knowledge of ISO 9001 standards, requirements, and implementation methodologies.
- Experience building and operationalizing governance, process management, and documentation frameworks.

- 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.
