Are you a commercially driven sales professional who knows how to win new business and grow revenue in Japan? We’re hiring a Business Development Manager to focus on the Japanese market—building relationships with major retail customers and driving significant revenue growth across innovative product solutions.

Qualifications

• 4 - 8 years of experience in B2B sales / business development
• Proven track record of winning new business and hitting targets
• Experience selling into retail (100+ store networks)

• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, growth environment
• Ability to engage and influence senior stakeholders
• Fluent English (Japanese is a strong advantage)

Benefits

• Competitive base salary + performance bonus
• High level of autonomy — own the Japan market
• Opportunity to work with a growing international business
