About The Position

Wayve is seeking a Safety Assurance Analyst to monitor and assure safety performance across its operations. The role reviews operational safety information—including Vehicle Safety Operator (VSO) driving data, incidents, interventions, model flags, Driver Monitoring System (DMS) events, field observations, and operational process evidence—to assess whether safety controls are effective and to identify trends, control failures, behavioral concerns, and emerging risks. This hands-on analytical role uses operational dashboards, reporting tools, and safety performance monitoring systems. The analyst supports investigations by collecting and reviewing evidence, reconstructing event timelines, identifying contributing factors, and documenting findings. They produce recurring reports and translate complex operational information into clear, impartial, evidence-based insights that support safe and reliable operations. The role involves collaboration across cross-functional teams and international time zones.

Strong working knowledge of operational dashboards, reporting tools, and safety performance monitoring systems.
Ability to analyze operational datasets, interrogate metrics, validate data quality, and recognize limitations in available evidence.
Strong reporting capabilities, including preparing recurring safety performance packs, assurance reports, investigation summaries, and incident write-ups.
Ability to identify leading indicators of risk from dashboards, datasets, incidents, driver monitoring outputs, model flags, and field observations.
Investigation skills, including evidence collection, timeline reconstruction, root-cause thinking, contributing-factor analysis, and clear documentation.
Understanding of operational safety principles and ability to interpret data in the context of real-world fleet operations.
Exceptional attention to detail, consistency, and accuracy when reviewing and documenting safety-relevant information.
Strong written communication skills and ability to turn complex operational data into clear, concise, actionable reports.
Sound, impartial judgment when assessing safety-relevant events, behaviors, incidents, and operational performance trends.

Analyze operational datasets, driver monitoring outputs, model flags, incidents, and field observations to identify leading indicators of risk.
Support safety investigations by collecting and reviewing evidence, reconstructing incident timelines, applying root-cause thinking, analyzing contributing factors, and documenting findings.
Prepare weekly safety performance packs, monthly assurance reports, investigation summaries, and incident write-ups.
Validate the accuracy, completeness, and consistency of operational data while recognizing limitations in the available evidence.
Translate complex operational data and investigation findings into concise, objective, actionable reports.
Apply consistent, impartial, evidence-based judgment when reviewing safety events, operational behaviors, incidents, and performance trends.
