About the Role
As Global Head of Training, you will own the strategy, standards, and operating model for training, certifying, and developing the on-road operational workforce across the UK, US, Germany, and Japan. This is a build role responsible for defining training architecture, creating scalable curricula and certification pathways, and demonstrating through data that training improves readiness, consistency, and safety. You will lead a globally distributed team, translating global standards into regionally effective training and owning the mechanism for rapid training updates based on operational insights and safety findings.
Responsibilities
- Own global training strategy, standards, and operating model across all geographies.
- Define the training architecture: scalable curricula, onboarding pathways, and certification frameworks for on-road and maintenance operational roles.
- Own operational readiness — ensuring operators meet performance and safety thresholds before live on-road deployment.
- Build and maintain the mechanism for converting product requirements and operational insights into rapid, targeted training updates.
- Establish and own the metrics and reporting that prove training effectiveness, readiness, and adherence — and use that data to prioritise interventions.
- Manage and develop Regional Training Leads, holding them accountable to a consistent global standard while enabling local adaptation.
- Partner cross-functionally with Operations, Product, and Safety to align training outcomes with business and operational needs.
- Own certification and compliance record-keeping standards globally, ensuring accuracy and audit-readiness.
- Balance global standardisation with the flexibility to adapt delivery to regional, regulatory, and market context.
Requirements
- Significant leadership experience in training, capability development, operations enablement, or workforce readiness, ideally within autonomous systems, mobility, robotics, aviation, defence, logistics, or another safety-critical environment.
- Proven experience building and leading structured training programmes across multiple sites, regions, or countries.
- Demonstrated success designing scalable onboarding, certification, and recurrent training frameworks for operational roles.
- Experience translating operational, product, or safety requirements into practical training content, standards, and readiness criteria.
- Strong track record using performance data, assessments, and operational insight to improve behaviour, consistency, and execution quality.
- Experience working cross-functionally with Operations, Product, Safety, and other senior stakeholders to align training outcomes with business needs.
- Experience leading managers or senior individual contributors, and setting direction for a globally distributed function.
- Strong analytical capability — comfortable working with training and performance data pipelines to identify trends and gaps, and converting insight into metrics, dashboards, and reporting.
- Experience in autonomous vehicles, transport, robotics, logistics, aviation, or defense.
- Familiarity with certification, compliance record-keeping, and audit requirements in a regulated or safety-critical environment.
- Experience managing a mixed workforce of contractors and full-time employees through a transition to FTE.
