The role

Wayve’s Automotive team is looking for a hands-on and service-oriented Jira Administrator to support our growing Jira environment. You’ll be the first point of contact for Jira-related requests — helping teams configure boards, update workflows, manage fields, and troubleshoot issues so they can move faster and stay aligned.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own and manage all Jira support requests — from quick fixes to deeper configuration changes
  
  
• Design and maintain project setups, workflows, issue types, and permission schemes
  
  
• Build intuitive filters, dashboards, and boards that help teams stay aligned and move fast
  
  
• Keep the system clean, usable, and scalable by reviewing and simplifying schemes and custom fields
  
  
• Document Jira usage patterns and support onboarding of new users and teams

About you

In order to set you up for success as a Jira Administrator at Wayve, we’re looking for the following skills and experience:

• You have proven experience as a Jira Administrator (Cloud preferred)
  
  
• You’re comfortable customizing Jira — from workflows and issue types to screens, fields, and automation rules
  
  
• You understand how to build clear, helpful dashboards, filters, and permissions
  
  
• You’ve supported product or technical teams in fast-paced environments
  
  
• You’re organized, responsive, and enjoy helping teams work more efficiently
  
  
• You’ve worked with tools like ScriptRunner, Advanced Roadmaps, or Jira Structure
  
  
• Bonus: You’ve worked in automotive, embedded systems, or another regulated industry

This is a full-time role based in our office in London. At Wayve we want the best of all worlds so we operate a hybrid working policy that combines time together in our offices and workshops to fuel innovation, culture, relationships and learning, and time spent working from home.

We understand that everyone has a unique set of skills and experiences and that not everyone will meet all of the requirements listed above. If you’re passionate about self-driving cars and think you have what it takes to make a positive impact on the world, we encourage you to apply.

DISCLAIMER: We will not ask about marriage or pregnancy, care responsibilities or disabilities in any of our job adverts or interviews. However, we do look to capture information about care responsibilities, and disabilities among other diversity information as part of an optional DEI Monitoring form to help us identify areas of improvement in our hiring process and ensure that the process is inclusive and non-discriminatory.
