• Translate complex ideas into clear, compelling visual narratives.

You’ll collaborate closely with ML researchers, AV engineers, and comms teams to co-design everything from safety diagrams to data visualisations and product illustrations.

• Contribute to and refine our design systems and brand toolkit. Re-set our design systems, and help evolve our brand toolkit, ensuring everything we publish looks sharp and cohesive. Support internal and external storytelling by shaping brand-aligned visuals for recruitment campaigns, investment materials, keynote presentations, and global partnership announcements. You’ll be expected to deliver high-quality design under tight timelines with strong attention to visual detail.

• Elevate storytelling across investor, recruitment, and media content. Bring creativity and polish to all deliverables; ensure everything we publish looks sharp, thoughtful, and recognisably Wayve. Raising the bar for how we communicate our technology, culture, and ambition to the world. You’ll play a key role in building trust and excitement through visual design, across every audience and touchpoint.
