Overview

Who we're looking for

Toyota Financial Services is looking for a Product mManager who is obsessed with the customer, makes decisions with data, and moves with the urgency of a startup inside one of the world's most trusted brands.

This isn't a project management role. You won't be taking requirements from the business and handing them to engineering. You'll own new experiences around car shopping - the moments that turn a curious browser into a confident buyer. You'll talk to real shoppers, dig into the data to find where the experience breaks down, and make hard trade-off decisions with incomplete information.

You also think beyond your own slice. You believe a great product is one connected experience, and you actively look across experience lines to spot inconsistencies and dependencies before they become problems - then build ideas for the good of the whole journey, not just your piece of it.

If you've thrived in a startup or early-stage product environment and yet can navigate, anticipate, and address the needs of a large enterprise, this is the role.

What you'll be doing
  • Own the vision and implementation of new car-shopping experiences end-to-end.
  • Be a thought leader on the shopping journey - stay ahead of emerging technology, market shifts, and customer trends, and turn them into experiences that set the product apart rather than follow the market
  • Talk to customers regularly - run usability tests, join discovery interviews, and use what you learn to shape the product
  • Define product strategy through PR/FAQs and PRDs that articulate the customer problem, the solution, and how we'll measure success
  • Make prioritization decisions based on data, customer feedback, and business impact - not opinions or stakeholder loudness
  • Partner with engineering and design - you bring the "what" and "why," they bring the "how"
  • Ship incrementally - define releases, set acceptance criteria, and get working software in front of users fast
  • Instrument everything - define success metrics for engagement and conversion, build dashboards, and use data to decide what to build next


What you bring
  • 5+ years of product management experience on consumer-facing digital products
  • A track record of shipping products that customers actually use - not just features that got deployed
  • Experience owning multiple connected experiences or a customer journey end-to-end, and making the trade-off calls across them
  • Hands-on with data - you're comfortable digging into datasets, writing queries, and measuring quality and behavior yourself, not waiting on a report
  • Experience working directly with engineering teams in an agile environment to ensure what's built matches your vision in the most effective way
  • Strong written communication - you can write a clear product brief that engineering, design, and business stakeholders all understand
  • Startup mindset with enterprise polish - you're comfortable with ambiguity, you move fast, but you can bring along critical stakeholders with patience and confident leadership
  • Passion for modern product management practices and AI-powered tooling - you actively explore how AI can accelerate discovery, analysis, and delivery


Added bonus if you have
  • Experience in automotive, fintech, lending, or marketplace products
  • Experience with commerce, checkout, or financing experiences
  • Experience building products that involve regulatory or compliance considerations
  • You've written a PR/FAQ or similar "working backwards" product document


What we'll bring

During your interview process, our team can fill you in on all the details of our industry-leading benefits and career development opportunities. A few highlights include:
  • A work environment built on teamwork, flexibility, and respect
  • Professional growth and development programs to help advance your career, as well as tuition reimbursement
  • Team Member Vehicle Purchase Discount
  • Toyota Team Member Lease Vehicle Program (if applicable)
  • Comprehensive health care and wellness plans for your entire family
  • Toyota 401(k) Savings Plan featuring a company match, as well as an annual retirement contribution from Toyota regardless of whether you contribute (if applicable)
  • Paid holidays and paid time off
  • Referral services related to prenatal services, adoption, childcare, schools and more
  • Tax Advantaged Accounts (Health Savings Account, Health Care FSA, Dependent Care FSA)
  • Relocation assistance (if applicable)
