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


The Advanced UX (AUX) team defines and delivers the human experience for next-generation driver assistance (ADAS) and autonomous driving (AD) systems.

Our team includes UX researchers, UX strategists, UX/UI designers, 3D technical artists, animators, and project managers working together to create seamless digital interactions in and around the vehicle.

We partner closely with Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC), Toyota Motor North America (TMNA), Toyota Motor Europe (TME), and Toyota's global Visual Identity Design (VID) teams to ensure our design expression is both globally aligned and locally relevant.

Who We Are Looking For


We are looking for a GUI Creative Lead with a proven track record of building world-class digital experiences and visual design systems.

You combine a strong design vision with hands-on experience in 2D/3D user interfaces, animation, and system-level frameworks.

You know how to bridge today's production needs with future concept work, ensuring design outputs are scalable, implementable, and brand-defining.

You are also a relationship-builder, comfortable aligning across global stakeholders and advocating for design quality, consistency, and innovation.

Responsibilities

・Design Leadership & Vision

・Define and drive the creative vision for UI design and expression across AUX projects

・Establish design frameworks and flexible systems that can grow and adapt over time — making it easy to add new components, features, or visual styles without breaking consistency

・Ensure consistency and innovation in visual design language, from near-term delivery to long-term concepts

・Cross-Functional Collaboration

・Partner with Toyota's global design organizations (VID, TMNA, TME, TMC) to align design direction and execution

・Act as a bridge between leadership, creative teams, and engineering to ensure design excellence is achievable in production

・Represent our teams (AUX) design capabilities in global collaboration, fostering trust and alignment across regions and development partners

・Mentorship & Team Growth

・Fostering a culture of creativity, collaboration, and craft excellence internally and externally

・Partner with the AUX Design Team Manager, balancing vision-setting with day-to-day delivery

・Encourage experimentation, exploration, and the pursuit of high-quality outcomes in design practice

・Strategic Contribution

・Contribute to AUX's Leadership Team as an advocate for design quality, vision, and cross-organizational collaboration

・Help position AUX as both a delivery partner for current production needs and an innovation partner for next-generation concepts

・Champion design as a critical differentiator in Toyota's future mobility strategy, ensuring the user experience reflects brand identity and customer trust

Minimum Qualifications

10+ years of professional experience in UI/UX design, including senior leadership or creative director roles
Expertise in visual design systems, motion/interaction design, and 2D/3D user interfaces
Experience working with design systems
Proven ability to lead teams and build relationships across diverse stakeholders and geographies
Strong portfolio demonstrating excellence in digital product design, visual identity, and scalable frameworks
Comfortable navigating both conceptual design exploration and production-ready deliverables
Excellent communication skills in English


NICE TO HAVES
Experience working in global automotive, technology, or mobility contexts
Business level Japanese language skill
