About the Role

As a Technical Program Manager for Robotaxi at Wayve, you'll own the programs that bring our robotaxi service to life, from vehicle and fleet readiness to on-the-ground launch and scaling. You will work across autonomy, vehicle software, hardware, operations, safety, and local partners to turn Wayve's AI Driver into a safe, reliable robotaxi service, keeping complex, multi-team, cross-geography delivery predictable in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment. You will bridge Wayve's global R&D with local delivery in Japan. As the only TPM on the ground in Japan, this is a generalist role, supporting local vehicle programs across hardware and software as needed. Your impact will be measured by your ability to deliver programs, drive efficiency, manage risk, and align execution with business goals. A successful TPM is a force multiplier, helping teams move faster, more effectively, and with purpose.

Responsibilities

Own the lifecycle of robotaxi programs, from vehicle and fleet readiness to launch and in-market scaling, improving delivery through structured execution and coordination.
Track and manage dependencies, risks, and trade-offs across autonomy, vehicle, operations, and safety, escalating early with clear options.
Keep engineering, fleet operations, safety, and local partner teams aligned, bridging Wayve's global R&D with local delivery in Japan.
Provide hands-on program support for robotaxi launch and in-market operations, on the ground in Yokohama.
Flex to support local vehicle hardware and software programs as needed.
Run planning, stand-ups, reviews, and retros that keep multi-team delivery predictable and reliable.
Communicate progress and risk to engineers, partners, and senior leaders, tailoring updates to each audience.
Improve tooling, processes, and ways of working, and share patterns across the TPM org.

Requirements

5+ years leading complex, multi-team programs or a strong record at this level.
Ability to lead high-complexity work across teams and get things done.
Credible with engineers across autonomy, vehicle software, and vehicle hardware; ability to reason about how the AI Driver runs as a robotaxi service on real vehicles.
Ability to support vehicle hardware/software programs without writing production code.
Effective in ambiguous, safety-critical environments; ability to flex style and bring structure without slowing delivery.
Skilled at planning, prioritizing, and managing risk and dependencies across teams.
Ability to keep distributed teams aligned across time zones, communicating with clarity, proactively, and in writing.
Ability to influence without authority across all stakeholders.
Comfortable working across geographies and cultures.
Hands-on with vehicles and operations in Japan.
Comfortable flexing beyond robotaxi to support vehicle hardware and software programs.
Willingness to wear multiple hats.
Comfortable defining and using metrics to steer delivery and decisions.
Open to feedback and always looking to improve.
Ability to reason about how the parts of a complex system fit together and how changes ripple into other areas.
Focus on outcomes and the people programs serve, prioritizing by impact and defining what good looks like.
