Job details:
Interested candidates are required to submit a comprehensive and well-structured proposal that clearly outlines their strategic approach to launching and scaling NativeMeet in Japan. The proposal should demonstrate a deep understanding of the Japanese market, including cultural nuances, consumer behavior, and regional diversity, while identifying key cities or regions such as Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and emerging cultural hubs for the initial rollout. Candidates should explain how they plan to establish NativeMeet as a trusted and culturally authentic platform by building strong relationships with local communities, artisans, cultural practitioners, and independent hosts. This includes detailing methods for onboarding and verifying hosts, curating unique and meaningful experiences such as traditional tea ceremonies, local festivals, heritage crafts, and hidden cultural narratives, and ensuring quality, safety, and authenticity at every stage of the user journey.
In addition, applicants must provide a detailed overview of their background and relevant experience, highlighting their involvement in entrepreneurship, startup ecosystems, business development, tourism, community building, or cultural initiatives. They should showcase their ability to take ownership, lead from the front, and execute strategies independently in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment. Strong communication skills, partnership-building capabilities, and the ability to collaborate with local organizations, tourism boards, universities, and creative communities will be considered essential. Candidates should also demonstrate problem-solving ability, adaptability, and a growth-oriented mindset required to build a country-level operation from the ground up.
Furthermore, candidates are expected to present a clear and compelling long-term vision for developing a sustainable cultural ecosystem in Japan through NativeMeet. This vision should explain how they intend to connect local communities with global audiences while preserving the authenticity and integrity of Japanese culture. It should include strategies for creating economic opportunities for local hosts, enabling cultural exchange, and building a trusted platform that prioritizes meaningful human connections over transactional tourism. Candidates should also address scalability, including how the platform can expand across regions, maintain quality standards, and evolve into a self-sustaining ecosystem driven by community participation. Ultimately, the proposal should reflect not only a strong execution plan but also a founder-level mindset, demonstrating the ambition, ownership, and leadership required to position NativeMeet as a leading cultural platform in Japan.
