TEAM
Toyota is redefining what it means to move. We're challenging the current state of mobility by enhancing the movement of people, goods, information and energy. Centered around three core concepts - A Living Laboratory™, Human-Centered, and Ever Evolving City™ - Woven City serves as a test course for mobility to fulfill our purpose of well-being for all.
We do this by bringing together a diverse community of people with a shared passion for the future of mobility to co-create, develop and refine innovative products and services. This cross-section of social infrastructure, mobility, and people provides a unique opportunity for inventors, residents and visitors to interact seamlessly with new technologies throughout daily life in an environment that emulates a real city.
We’ll expand “mobility” not only for people but also for goods or information. As a mobility of goods, our project is going to provide innovative logistics services in Woven City, which is located in Susono, Shizuoka, by using delivery robots, smart devices and simulation technology. We believe that super-easy movements of goods can change our value and lifestyle.
WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
We are looking for a passionate and experienced project manager who can lead the business feasibility study (user research, market research, operation study, income and expenditure calculation, business model planning) in service planning and development from the perspective of customer value and UX. We would like to provide high-value-added services to our customers by utilizing the automatic delivery platform we have developed so far, and we expect you to be involved in the development of the service from the initial phase to the completion of the product, and to lead the team as the person in charge of service planning and be accountable to the management. This position may require you to change your work location from Tokyo to Susono depending on the phase of service development. You will be frequently visiting the site at least on a business trip basis. If you want to tackle the new challenge of developing an innovative service that combines hardware and software, let's make history together.
Initially, you will participate as a candidate to lead a small team of less than 10 people, but depending on the direction of service development and business and your own motivation and ability, you will have the opportunity to take on even bigger challenges, such as managing a larger team or leading cross-sectional development for multiple value-added services.
