This is a high-volume, detail-critical role, suited to someone who thrives on organization, clear communication, and delivering a consistently strong candidate experience.

In this role, you will:

  • Coordinate complex, high-volume interview scheduling across multiple calendars, time zones, and stakeholders.
    ● Act as the primary point of contact for candidate logistics, ensuring clear, timely communication throughout.
    ● Partner with recruiters and hiring teams to keep processes moving and resolve scheduling challenges proactively.
    ● Identify and implement improvements to coordination workflows, tools, and processes.
    ● Support ad hoc talent operations projects.

    ● Proven experience managing high-volume scheduling across multiple stakeholders and time zones.
    ● Strong organization and attention to detail, with the ability to manage competing priorities.
    ● Confident working with a range of stakeholders in a clear and professional way.
    ● A proactive, ownership-driven approach to operational work.
    ● Comfortable working in a fast-moving, evolving environment.

Actual compensation is based on the candidate's skills, qualifications, and experience. At Wayve, we operate a hybrid working model, combining time in the office to support collaboration and learning, with flexibility to work from home.
