Who We're Are Looking For
Toyota Financial Services is looking for a Senior UI/UX designer who is obsessed with the customer, thinks deeply about people and processes — not just pixels — and moves with the urgency of a startup inside one of the world’s most trusted brands.
As a UI/UX Designer, you will work under the direct supervision of the Manager - UI/UX Design to maintain daily communication with the extended team.
You’ll lead the design of end-to-end web-based product experiences, driving work from early discovery through production handoff and helping to set the bar for craft across the team. You’ll partner closely with product managers, engineers, and stakeholders to turn complex, ambiguous problems into intuitive, accessible, and visually refined experiences that customers trust.
This is a hands-on role for someone who can operate with autonomy, and elevate the people around them. You bring deep craft, rigor, and curiosity. You make design decisions grounded in customer research and business outcomes, helping define how we work, not just what we ship.
