The role
As the manager of our applied methods Data Science team, based in the UK, you will lead a group of data scientists who act as trusted partners to the Autonomy org.

Your remit is to broaden that team's impact, speed up its delivery, and scale it through both additional headcount and technology, helping to advance Wayve as the leader in end-to-end AI for autonomous mobility.
Key responsibilities:
• Set and align priorities with stakeholders across Autonomy, and maintain provisional 3/6/12 month roadmaps that balance customer demand against team capacity
