Either comes with a strong sense of ownership, you will be responsible for setting the direction of the product, challenging how it could and should be improved, and build the case for investment.

What will you do?

- Work with a wide range of stakeholders including engineering, data science, commercial, as well as other Toyota entities and customers to agree priorities, outcomes and trade offs

- Run regular reviews so that cross functionally there is a shared understanding of what is being built and why

Another Thing We'd Like To Mention…
There’s been a lot of research showing how marginalised groups of people may not apply for jobs unless they meet all of the requirements. We also know that many people come from wide and wonderful backgrounds with different experiences - We value people who bring unique perspectives and add new knowledge to our team!
You might not feel like you “tick all the boxes” but we sincerely hope you’ll apply anyway because you could be exactly what we we're looking for!
