Operational Framework Design

You’ll work with the team to architect and oversee the complete authorisation workflow for AV operators, from initial application through ongoing compliance monitoring. This includes establishing robust data governance protocols, incident reporting mechanisms, and developing comprehensive audit frameworks that ensure regulatory adherence whilst fostering innovation.

Stakeholder Engagement

You’ll support consultation processes with industry players, academic institutions, and international partners, synthesising diverse perspectives into coherent policy recommendations.
