Who We’re Looking For Toyota Financial Services' Enterprise Platform Technology department is looking for a passionate and highly motivated Senior Product Manager to lead our Enterprise Shared Services (ESS) team. ESS builds and operates the reusable platforms and services that power TFS's core business operations - from document management and intelligent processing to enterprise digital identity, tokenization, customer communications, and application building blocks. We eliminate fragmentation by delivering cloud-native, AI-enabled shared services that serve every TFS domain - Originations, Servicing, Banking, VPP, and beyond - so teams build faster, operate securely, and scale without reinventing the wheel. If you want to work on high-impact, enterprise-scale platforms that touch every line of business at one of the world's largest auto finance companies, ESS is where that work happens.

We’re looking for someone who is obsessed with the customer, makes decisions with data, and moves with the urgency of a startup inside one of the world's most trusted brands. You think beyond your own domain - you actively look across domain lines to spot inconsistencies and dependencies before they become problems, then resolve them for the good of the whole product.
