Procurement Buyer

Oh what a feeling

We are so much more than just the sum of our parts. Our strength comes from working together, sharing ideas to always find new ways to progress. Together, we are Toyota.

At Toyota we celebrate individual differences. You don’t need to meet 100% of the criteria to apply. We’d still love to hear from you.

We’re working towards a future where we look out for each other and our planet. Where we enrich lives with the safest and most responsible ways of moving. This is the kind of tomorrow we’re imagining here at Toyota.

Our people are on a mission to create a future mobility society, where movement is possible and accessible for everyone.

For example, Toyota is developing a range of sustainable mobility services and transportation solutions to better help you and our planet: from battery electric vehicles to remote-controlled robotics (you may have seen these at the Tokyo Olympics).

We’ve also just launched KINTO, a car sharing and car rental service to support both our Environmental and Mobility goals.

We are heavily invested in sustainability; Toyota's ambition is to achieve zero emissions by 2050.

Toyota is a place where difference is celebrated. We strive to create a workplace that not only gives equal opportunities to people of all backgrounds and abilities but supports them to reach their full potential.

We do this through employee community engagement, mentorship programs, and our annual Women’s Conference.

Our two longest serving employees have been with us for over 42 years. We’re also proud to have more than 100 employees over 25 years’ service. Together, we are Toyota.
