Project Manager, Business Development, Smart Logistics

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. Regarding the mobility of things, we believe that if we can provide a service that makes moving things incredibly easy, it could potentially change our values and lifestyles. To this end, we are developing the Robot Platform—a shared infrastructure and product suite that enables diverse services to be built and operated using robots, smart devices, operations, and simulation technology. Going forward, we will collaborate with Inventors to expand platform capabilities and propose solutions, enabling customers both inside and outside Woven City to build and deliver services quickly.

We are looking for a passionate Project Manager who can identify customer needs from the Gemba and directly drive new customer acquisition and partnership development for our Smart Logistics business, especially in the B2B domain, where robot-powered logistics services are developed and sold externally.

We welcome candidates who have a proven track record of hunting new business opportunities, building relationships with corporate customers and partners from scratch, and closing deals in a B2B/solution business context. We are looking for someone with strong sales instincts and marketing sensibility, who can communicate directly with engineers and designers from different backgrounds, act autonomously even in ambiguous environments, and drive 0-to-1 customer/partner acquisition forward.

Depending on the business phase, this position may require you to change your work location from Tokyo to Susono (Woven City), or involve frequent on-site visits on a business trip basis.
