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

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.

Operations Platform Management Team is responsible for planning, preparing, and operating platforms required for operations in Woven City. This position plans, prepares, and operates service platforms required for operations and reports to the Lead of OPM.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

This position plays a vital role in defining the ideal future state of customer-centric services in Woven City from a mid- to long-term perspective, and in taking full ownership from planning through execution.

Recognizing the people who "live" in the city as the primary customers, you will work closely with both internal and external stakeholders to reexamine their living environment with a fresh and genuine perspective. Rather than simply filling gaps after the city opens, the aim is to fundamentally improve and evolve the overall living experience.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Develop tenant merchandising (MD) plans, i.e. industry mix strategies—and tenant attraction strategies based on the overall functional layout of the city and an analysis of customer needs
Create a leasing list of potential tenant companies and make tailored tenant proposals based on the specifications of each commercial unit
Design sustainable tenant opening schemes that consider both the essential services required by the city and the business viability (e.g. return on investment) of the prospective tenants
Conduct financial negotiations, including rental terms and lease conditions, based on tenant revenue projections and industry-specific occupancy cost ratios
Coordinate and negotiate with various internal and external stakeholders—including residents, tenant companies, partners, government agencies, and the city developer—while collaborating with multiple internal teams

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

Over 5 years of practical experience in developing and executing retail expansion strategies, or in tenant leasing and move-in/move-out management within mixed-use facilities
Native-level proficiency in Japanese, with the ability to negotiate effectively with Japanese companies, and business-level proficiency in English (reading, writing, and speaking)
Bachelor's degree in a relevant field or equivalent practical experience
A proactive and solution-oriented mindset, capable of proposing logical solutions to unprecedented challenges and translating them into actionable steps
A dynamic and energetic personality that thrives in a fast-paced, startup-like work environment
Ability to work onsite at Toyota Woven City (Susono) at least once per week

NICE TO HAVES

Practical experience in end-to-end involvement—from concept planning to opening and operations—of multiple commercial or mixed-use facilities
Hands-on experience in financial modeling for new developments or major renovations of mixed-use properties, including ROI calculations and setting KPIs such as IRR
Experience in creating business plans for financial institutions and executing fundraising strategies when launching retail businesses
Proven track record in project management related to retail build-out (BC) cost negotiations, subcontractor coordination, and managing handover or restoration processes for second-hand tenant spaces
Experience leading new business or regional revitalization projects involving multiple stakeholders, including government bodies and local communities
