About Woven by Toyota
Woven by Toyota is enabling Toyota’s once-in-a-century transformation into a mobility company. Inspired by a legacy of innovating for the benefit of others, our mission is to challenge the current state of mobility through human-centric innovation — expanding what “mobility” means and how it serves society.
Our work centers on four pillars: AD/ADAS, our autonomous driving and advanced driver assist technologies; Arene, our software development platform for software-defined vehicles; Woven City, a test course for mobility; and Cloud & AI, the digital infrastructure powering our collaborative foundation. Business-critical functions empower these teams to execute, and together, we’re working toward one bold goal: a world with zero accidents and enhanced well-being for all.
=========================================================================
TEAM
Arene’s goal is to open vehicle programming to everyone by simplifying vehicle software development and increasing deployment frequency without compromising safety and security. This will create a whole new market of vehicle application developers who, through software, integrate a vehicle into our daily lives in novel ways. Arene aims to significantly improve how vehicles are designed and developed, and we’re working closely with Toyota to realize this goal in its next-generation vehicles.
The Arene Product Management team is the global team that defines the Arene Product Line roadmap over close market knowledge, customer focus and technology trends awareness. This team is responsible to deliver the right solution, at the right price and at the right time, so that it can benefit both the customers and the Arene sponsor. The Product Management Director in Japan is working very closely with his peer, the Product Management Director in North America.
The team is composed of product managers, product planning experts, market & users analysis, benchmarking, commercialization and partnership experts. This team is closely working with the global engineering workforce in order to produce Arene as a cohesive product line, fostering its reputation as a trustworthy and reliable brand, by providing cost-effective solutions that uphold the highest standards of safety and quality.
WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
You are a seasoned business leader with a deep understanding of product strategy creation and planning in a B2B marketplace, managing Fortune 50 types of customers. We are looking for a seasoned leader that has a proven track record of delivering business results over a product line management process while producing and servicing highly complex products that integrate both extensive logical and physical elements into a cohesive integrated product such as a car, an aircraft or equivalent. Also, the expected candidate has extensive skills in change management and in regulations in the automotive industry.
