Product Manager

Toyota Finance Australia (TFA) is the country’s largest automotive financier.  Our past gives us credibility and knowledge. But it’s what the future holds, and how we can make the world a better place, that excites us. It’s not just about technology but what it can do for people.
  
In Australia there are two separate businesses: Toyota Motor Corporation Australia (TMCA) and Toyota Finance Australia (TFA).  While we work closely together, TMCA focuses on vehicles and here at Toyota Finance Australia our priority is to provide finance, insurance and fleet management.
  
This role is based in our Head Office, Grosvenor Place, Sydney.  The office is within walking distance from the train station.  There are plenty of options for lunch and catching up with colleagues or friends after work. 

What you'll contribute to
The Product Managers will be accountable for understanding and translating TFA’s strategic objectives into a roadmap and backlog of Product Features to deliver both business transformation, and organisational value.
  
Our Support Services teams: Enterprise Data & Analytics, HR, IT, Operations and Projects are at the heart of our business providing quality, change and innovative services that drive our business forwards. We also have a dedicated Customer Experience team, who are focussed on improving our customer journey and experience.
  
How you'll make an impact
