Make Wayve the experience that defines your career!

As Wayve grows, so do the expectations of our customers and stakeholders. We need a scalable approach to validating our controls and providing confidence that our security programme is operating as intended.

As our Security Assurance Manager, you’ll join the Security team to establish Wayve’s security assurance capability. You’ll design and operate the processes, methodologies, and relationships that enable continuous validation of our security controls, supporting certifications such as TISAX and ISO 21434, meeting customer contractual commitments, and strengthening trust across the organisation.

This is an opportunity to build a security assurance capability from the ground up. As a fast-growing engineering organisation, you’ll shape how assurance evolves as we scale. You’ll work closely with teams across Wayve to evolve assurance from periodic, manual testing towards continuous, data-driven validation.

We’d love to hear from you if you’re motivated by helping engineering teams build stronger security through objective evidence, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
