Overview

Who we are

Toyota does not offer support or sponsorship of job applicants for employment-based visas or any other work authorization for this role now or in the future. You must have the right to work in the United States and not require Toyota support or sponsorship for immigration-related employment (e.g., H-1B, O-1, E-3, H-1B1, TN, F-1 OPT, F-1 STEM OPT, F-1 CPT, ‘job flexibility benefits’ [also known as I-140 or Adjustment of Status portability], etc.) now or in the future. You should not apply for this role if you will require Toyota to assist with immigration support or sponsorship now or in the future.

Who we’re looking for

At Toyota, the Administrative Assistant is more than a calendar manager or meeting coordinator. This role sits at the center of the Portland Region—supporting leaders, enabling associates, and helping the office operate with excellence.

We’re looking for a proactive, resourceful partner who brings order to complexity, anticipates needs, improves how work gets done, and creates a positive experience for dealers, business partners, and team members.

We're looking for someone who embodies Toyota's commitment to Respect for People and Continuous

Improvement.

Success requires humility, professionalism, accountability, curiosity, and resilience. The right person is service-minded, comfortable navigating ambiguity, and willing to address gaps respectfully while helping teams uphold shared processes and standards.

This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys making great work possible for others—balancing hospitality with accountability, flexibility with ownership, and operational excellence with genuine care

for people.

What you’ll be doing

As the Administrative Assistant for the Portland Region, you'll serve as a trusted business partner to regional leadership while helping ensure the smooth operation of our office.

Responsibilities include:

• Manage executive calendars, meetings, travel, communications, and follow-up.
• Coordinate regional events, associate meetings, Dealer Council activities, and leadership forums.
• Support budgets, expenses, purchase requests, invoices, onboarding, and other key administrative processes.

• Partner with departments to reinforce established processes, clarify ownership, and follow up when commitments or standards are not met.
• Provide responsive operational support that enables leaders and associates to serve dealers and achieve business objectives.
• The Administrative Assistant is expected to work primarily from the Portland Regional Office during normal business hours of 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Visibility, accessibility, and responsiveness are essential because the role regularly supports leaders, associates, dealers, visitors, and vendor partners.

The strongest candidates are known for their ability to:

• Take ownership, anticipate needs, and follow through on commitments.
• Be adaptable, and solution-focused as priorities shift.
• Use sound judgment, protect confidential information, and build trust across all levels of the organization.
• Create structure in a fast-moving environment while balancing attention to detail with the bigger picture.
• Learn new systems quickly, challenge outdated practices, and continuously improve how work gets done.
• Advocate for the culture of the Portland Region by modeling accountability, respect, collaboration, resilience, and a service mindset.
