The Role
As Global Head of Training, you'll own the strategy, standards, and operating model for how Wayve trains, certifies, and develops its on-road operational workforce — Vehicle Safety Operators and the teams that support them — across the UK, US, Germany, and Japan. This is a build role: you're accountable for defining the training architecture, building scalable curricula and certification pathways, and proving with data that training is improving readiness, consistency, and safety.
You'll lead a small, globally distributed team of Regional Training Leads and Training Coordinators, translating a single global standard into training that works in each region's operational reality. You'll own the mechanism that turns operational insights, safety findings, and product changes into rapid training updates, and you're the person accountable for whether operators are truly ready before they're deployed on the road.
Key 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.
