## Description

We build the embodied intelligence that moves real vehicles safely, and the ecosystem a billion machines will run on in the future. As a Technical Product Manager for Robotaxi, you’ll own the product from zero to one on our roadmap for L4, in Japan. It’s a full-stack role that combines technical, business and partnership work, spanning the rider’s experience through AI driving, software, hardware, operations, policy and partner integrations.

Responsibilities:

- Defining strategy, roadmaps and product requirements with riders in mind, and owning the Japan Robotaxi roadmap.

- Leading cross-functional working groups across Engineering, HMI, AI, Systems and Operations to deliver core launches in 2026.

- Serving as the voice of the customer, gathering and prioritising rider and partner feedback, as well as being a technical system designer.

- Working with AI, software, hardware, policy, operations and partner teams to resolve bugs and ship features.

- Establishing launch readiness: integration with partners, coverage of customer use cases, AI driver performance, top issues and launch risks.

- Staying immersed in data and metrics, using them day to day to steer product decisions.

- Working closely with partners including Uber and Nissan while staying accountable for Robotaxi product performance in Japan.

- Operating independently from day one, identifying gaps and doing whatever is needed rather than owning one narrow feature.

Requirements:

- Proven track record of technical product management experience, shipping products with a consumer mindset in a very technical domain.

- Strong written and verbal communication skills with demonstrated ability to work in cross-functional teams.

- Strong technical background in AI/ML, software engineering, robotics, or a related discipline.

- Comfortable working in fast-paced, iterative environments with evolving priorities.

- Full Fluency in Japanese and English.

- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.

Benefits:

- Salaries benchmarked against the market annually.

- Meaningful equity, sharing in the ownership and long term success of Wayve.

- Relocation support and visa sponsorship where applicable.

- Hybrid working, core hours and the chance to work hands on in vehicle workshops and labs.

- Learning and development budgets with support for training, conferences and growth.

- Comprehensive benefits including health insurance, dental, enhanced maternity and paternity leave, retirement or pension where applicable, access to therapists, wellbeing partnerships, team socials and more.
