• Deep understanding of Japan’s mobile-first economy and app landscape, especially in verticals like eCommerce, fintech, gaming, and OTT.
• Proven ability to close complex deals with marketing leaders, CMOs, or growth teams.
• Fluent in Japanese and English with excellent communication, negotiation, and storytelling skills.
• Comfortable working independently in a lean setup while coordinating with distributed global teams.
• Familiarity with Apple Search Ads, MMPs (e.g., AppsFlyer, Adjust), and mobile attribution is a strong plus.
• A passion for AI, automation, and intelligent marketing solutions.
