We're looking for a Commercial Operations Enablement Manager to join Wayve's Commercial Excellence function, acting as the critical bridge between Science, Product, Engineering, and Operations. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in dynamic, high-growth environments and has proven experience translating complex technical strategies into actionable field operations. You'll lead critical testing and demonstration programs across our global operations—spanning roadshow campaigns, customer-specific programs, and on-road validation activities—working cross-functionally to ensure structured feedback loops between field operations and development teams. This role is key to our transformation from an R&D-focused operation to a world-class, delivery-grade commercial AV organization that can execute seamlessly with customers and partners.
Job Responsibility:
Technical and Operations Enablement: Convert high-level program plans into clear, actionable on-road plans in partnership with Fleet Operations leadership, ensuring alignment on scheduling, safety, and operational feasibility across diverse testing requirements
Testing and Validation: Lead execution across internal-facing and external-facing programs, coordinating between technical teams and operations to ensure seamless testing and validation execution while maintaining safety protocols and capturing valuable feedback
Cross-Functional Alignment: Act as the connective tissue between model developers, researchers, product teams, and operations, ensuring two-way visibility and structured feedback loops that drive faster iteration on features, releases, and model performance
Operational Readiness: Collaborate closely with Fleet Operations to maintain consistent experiment design, vehicle availability, and process quality across testing programs, ensuring repeatable, high-quality delivery at scale
Continuous Improvement: Partner with Systems and Enablement teams to leverage fleet data, systems, and metrics for collaborative problem-solving and refinement of testing processes and internal tooling, quantifying improvements in operational performance
Innovation in Testing & Evaluation: Proactively brainstorm and explore new experimental methods (e.g., adversarial route selection, edge case testing concepts), fostering a culture of curiosity and bold experimentation to uncover insights that drive novel breakthroughs
Technical Collaboration: Build strong partnerships with model development teams, combining strategic thinking with practical operational expertise to maximize the value of every test, dataset, and feedback loop in support of commercial objectives
Requirements:
Demonstrable experience in technical program management or operations roles at the intersection of R&D, product development, and field testing in high-complexity environments (e.g., autonomous systems, robotics, aerospace, or advanced mobility)
Proven track record of managing programs, demonstrations, or operations that require tight coordination between technical development teams and operational execution
Deep experience with test planning, operational readiness frameworks, and structured feedback loops between field operations and technical development teams
Strong facilitation and stakeholder management skills: able to lead cross-functional workshops and coordinate between Engineering, Science, Product, and Operations teams effectively
Proven ability to influence across teams and functions, including remote and international stakeholders in fast-paced technology environments
Strong written, verbal, and visual communication skills with experience creating technical documentation, SOPs, and stakeholder presentations
Ability to travel internationally up to 30% of the time to support on-site program coordination across testing regions
Strong problem-solving skills and comfort working in ambiguous, rapidly evolving environments with competing priorities
Nice to have:
Experience in autonomous vehicles, advanced driver assistance systems, or field robotics operations
Exposure to automotive testing protocols, validation frameworks, or OEM partnership programs
Experience supporting scaling in global, distributed teams with complex technical dependencies
Experience with data analysis and performance tracking
able to build or interpret dashboards, identify operational bottlenecks, and quantify program improvements
Comfortable with project management tools such as Confluence, Asana/Jira, or equivalent, and experience implementing operational tracking systems
Background in process improvement methodologies (Lean, Six Sigma) or operational excellence frameworks
Familiarity with vehicle commissioning processes, fleet management systems, or automotive safety protocols
