Staff Program Manager - Development Ecosystem

Palo Alto, CA Full Time
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
The AD/ADAS Project Management Team’s goal is to enable the successful delivery of technology from the engineering organization to achieve business goals. The Project Management function in Woven By Toyota’s (WbyT’s) AD/ADAS organization is a partner to the Engineering and Product functions and owns the technical execution of the AD/ADAS portfolio maintaining the organization’s plan of record and ensuring execution velocity and agility of a highly cross functional engineering team distributed across multiple locations.

We are problem solvers who make things happen by setting and communicating clear goals and supporting engineering teams to deliver through the technical and organizational complexity.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
We are seeking an experienced and passionate Staff Project Manager for this position. The ideal candidate will be comfortable navigating ambiguity, engaging with leadership, and collaborating with teams across WbyT and external stakeholders to steer projects toward successful delivery.
