• Set the standard for instructional writing, multimedia development, and visual communication across the L&D organization.

What you bring

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Acts as a cross-functional trusted advisor, understanding when to involve other teams or roles in resolving issues, and builds trust through responsiveness and reliable follow-through.
• Toyota Values & Culture: Reinforces Toyota culture through dependable execution, respectful collaboration, "Genchi Genbutsu" (Go and See), and a continuous improvement mindset.
• Strong skills in E-Learning Authoring Tools (e.g., Articulate Storyline 360), Adobe Creative Cloud, and digital video composition applications.
• Must show the ability to defend development decisions by correlating them to program goals and adult learning principles.
