People Performance 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 (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.

TFA 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'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 TFA.
