Oxford, United Kingdom Oxa Full time

Oxa is enabling the transition to self-driving vehicles through an initial focus on the most commercially advanced sector; the autonomous shuttling of goods and people.

We are home to some of the world’s leading experts on autonomous vehicles, creating solutions such as Oxa Driver, equipping vehicles with full self-driving functionality; Oxa MetaDriver, using Generative AI to accelerate and assure the safety of deployments; and Oxa Hub, a set of cloud-based offerings for autonomous fleet management. Our technology is being deployed across the UK and the U.S, and we’re partnering with a fast-growing ecosystem of operators, vehicle OEMs and equipment makers serving autonomous transportation globally as it advances.

Based in Oxford, and with offices in Canada and the U.S, Oxa was founded in 2014 and is  growing rapidly (350+ ‘Oxbots’ to date). Our purpose is to change the way the Earth moves, through an uncompromising focus on safety, efficiency and explainability of our AI approaches. The company has attracted $225 million from leading investors so far, with $140 million raised in the last Series C funding round in January 2023.

Your Team

You will join and support our Assurance team, where we set the North Star for assurance and prepare for the safe commercial deployment of all of our products.

Your Role

As our Assurance Management Specialist you will manage the assurance programme of work ensuring that Jira is maintained and organising sprints to deliver the assurance initiatives.

  • Work with the Assurance Management Lead on developing, managing and implementing safety operator training for customer deployments. 
  • Contribute to the development of Oxa’s assurance principles to enable global AV authorisation and approval.

  • Recent experience within safety (transport, road or specifically AV)
  • Experience of defining and implementing safety processes
  • Management and delivery of programmes of work
  • Development and implementation of safety processes 
  • AV safety knowledge, primarily operational safety
  • Knowledge of the AV Bill and proposed UK regulation for AVs
  • Excellent written and verbal communication and organisational abilities

Extra kudos:

  • Experience of developing an outstanding Safety culture

The Candidate Journey:  Multi-Step and Two-Way

The various stages give you every opportunity to show your unique strengths and qualities, and enables each of us to establish if we’re a good fit for the other.  If the fit is good and you’re selected, you’re then in a position to do great work and thrive, which is what everyone wants. 

Benefits

We provide:

  • Competitive salary, benchmarked against the market and reviewed annually

  • An outstanding £3,000 flexible benefits including private medical insurance, critical illness coverage, life assurance, EAP, group income protection
