• Strong understanding of Japanese business culture and the confidence to engage professionally with local stakeholders.
• Curious about technology, apps, gaming, digital advertising and the wider publisher ecosystem.
• Strong research skills with the ability to identify promising businesses and assess commercial opportunities.
• Confident starting conversations with prospective clients and developing relationships over time.
• Comfortable working with data and using simple insights to support outreach and commercial conversations.
• Organised and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple prospects, follow-ups and priorities.
• Proactive, self-motivated and eager to learn.
• Experience with Salesforce or another CRM is useful.
• Previous experience within technology, apps, gaming, AdTech, media or digital businesses is valuable but not essential.

Requirements

• Location: Malaysia preferred
• Format: 12-month fixed-term contract
• Market: Japan
• Experience: 1–3 years
• Language: Fluent Japanese and professional English

Benefits

• Support publishers in understanding digital advertising and monetisation solutions and connect them with the right internal expertise where required.

• Schedule and coordinate qualified meetings between prospective partners and the wider sales team.
• Support preparation for prospect meetings and presentations by gathering relevant company, market and performance information.
• Track outreach activity, meetings, pipeline progress and conversion in Salesforce.
• Share recurring prospect feedback, local-market insights and emerging opportunities with regional stakeholders.
• Support relevant industry events, networking opportunities and partner engagement initiatives.
