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.

=========================================================================

Woven by Toyota is constantly striving to create “value that does not yet exist in the world” through initiatives such as developing software platforms for vehicles and implementing next-generation technologies in Woven City. The Legal & IP Team supports these business efforts from a legal perspective.

Specifically, we handle contract review and management, legal consultations, corporate law compliance, dispute resolution, and the establishment of compliance frameworks. The topics we address include cutting-edge fields such as autonomous driving, AI, and robotics, and it is not uncommon for us to develop solutions from scratch for new challenges that existing legal frameworks cannot keep up with. In this fast-paced environment, new challenges arise every day, but we believe that is precisely what makes our work so rewarding.

Our team is comprised of members with high aspirations and a strong sense of curiosity. We pool our collective knowledge to tackle “questions with no single correct answer,” engaging in thorough discussions to find solutions. We offer an environment where you can leverage your expertise as a legal professional while growing personally alongside the business.

We are looking for a legal expert who is passionate about helping us create the best technologies in the world and supporting us in high-profile collaboration and partnership with companies worldwide through contract negotiations, considering both technical and business development strategies.
