Senior FInancial Analyst

Summary of Job

We will teach you everything you need to know to succeed in this position, including originating and servicing auto loans and leases, concepts and execution of secured lending, and participating in SEC required audit of Toyota’s ABS program. This is why high learning agility and aptitude are so important, as well as taking good notes and asking questions.

Initially, we will

• Have you read through ABS transaction documents to gain an understanding at a high level.
• Review a sample of our 30 monthly investor reports to tie them back to the transaction documents.
• Participate in the quality control process to ensure every one of the 200+ values reported on every investor report is accurate.
• You will learn how to edit SQL queries of large data sets in this process.

Next, we will

• Show you how to navigate through the loan/lease servicing system to investigate situations that don’t “seem right”. (ABS Ops plays a unique role at TMCC.We are the only group that consistently identifies breaks in the servicing process, since we analyze data at the loan level).
• Show you how to execute functions in the ABS securitization system used to generate monthly investor reports, including selecting pools of assets which are the collateral underlying our ABS borrowing
• Assist in providing documentation to auditors, as well as examining instances of non compliance with SEC mandated servicing criteria under Regulation AB.

After a few more months, we will

• Have you act as primary point of contact on new ABS transactions, from pool selection to final execution
• Have you participate in our practice of rotating team members through different positions with ABS operations every six months to ensure that all team members are exposed to all aspects of department operations.
• The goal is for everyone to bring a fresh perspective to each role, with ideas on how to improve processes.
• Each month, we have a recurring schedule, where the first half of the month is spent preparing and validating the investor reports for issuance.
• The second half of the month is spent on non recurring tasks such as the annual Regulation AB audit, new ABS transactions, data testing of the future servicing system, preparing for the next month of investor reporting, and implementing improvements in our processes.
• This is not a clean split between the first and second halves of the month, as second half requirements often bleed into our investor reporting prep cycle.
