Safety Assurance Analyst
About The Position
Wayve is seeking a Safety Assurance Analyst to monitor and assure safety performance across its operations. The role reviews operational safety data—including Vehicle Safety Operator (VSO) driving data, incidents, interventions, model flags, Driver Monitoring System (DMS) events, field observations, and operational process evidence—to identify trends, control failures, behavioral concerns, and emerging risks. The analyst will assess whether operational safety controls are functioning effectively and provide clear, objective, evidence-based insights that support safe and reliable operations. This is a hands-on analytical role involving operational dashboards, reporting tools, and safety performance monitoring systems. The analyst will support investigations by gathering and reviewing evidence, reconstructing event timelines, identifying contributing factors, and documenting findings. They will prepare recurring safety performance reports and investigation summaries, validate data quality, and communicate concise, actionable findings to cross-functional teams, including teams working across international time zones. The role calls for attention to detail, impartial judgment, and the ability to interpret operational data in the context of real-world fleet operations.
