Woven City – Woven City Management / Employee / Hybrid. 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. Decarb Venture Studio is a venture creation organization within Woven by Toyota. Our mission is to democratize decarbonization: to move decarbonization from the work of a limited number of specialists into an accessible, practical activity that every organization and every person can take part in. We combine the ownership, speed, and creativity of a startup with the scale, credibility, and real-world learning opportunities of Toyota. We do not build from assumptions alone. We learn from complex, real operations, identify repeatable patterns, and transform those insights into scalable software products that can create value far beyond Toyota. Our first venture has moved from proof of concept into beta development. It is a B2B application that unifies operational infrastructure data such as electricity, gas, fuel, and water. We are building its data foundation using advanced IoT, AI, blockchain, and cloud technologies. We care as deeply about intuitive, consumer-grade user experience as we do about technical sophistication. Decarb Venture Studio will not stop at one product. We will commercialize and scale the first service while continuously exploring the next opportunity through customer discovery, proofs of concept, and prototypes. We follow a hybrid workstyle, combining office and remote work. Additionally, depending on future circumstances, business trips to Toyota Motor Corporation or the Toyota Group may be required.
