About your Skills • Product obsession: You get genuinely excited about great software and that energy comes through in everything you do. • Cultural intelligence: You understand the subtleties of Japanese business culture — nemawashi, ringi, reading the room — and you navigate them naturally. • Exceptional communicator: Clear, confident, and adaptable — whether you're presenting to 200 people or explaining a technical concept one-on-one. • Technically curious: You don't need to be a developer, but you need to be comfortable going deep when the conversation calls for it. • Relationship builder: You invest in people for the long term.

You'll work across the full customer journey — from early-stage pipeline through to deepening relationships with our existing customer base — and you'll do it with the cultural fluency and business acumen that the Japanese market demands. You'll be a trusted partner to prospects and customers alike: the person who listens carefully, understands the problem, and shows — compellingly, credibly — how our platform solves it. Pre-Sales & Pipeline Support • Partner closely with the Japan sales team to support active opportunities from first demo through to close. • Lead compelling, tailored product demonstrations that speak directly to each prospect's business context and pain points. • Respond to technical queries, RFPs, and security questionnaires with clarity and confidence. • Run proof-of-concept engagements that give prospects a genuine feel for the platform's value in their environment. • Help shape the commercial conversation by articulating ROI, use cases, and competitive differentiation in ways that land with Japanese buyers. Customer Success & Expansion • Build deep, trusted relationships with existing customers - acting as their go-to technical advisor and product champion. • Run regular business reviews, product upda
