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. Customers trust you and look forward to hearing from you.
Bridge builder: You're equally effective representing the Japan market to a global team and representing a global product to a Japanese audience.
About this Role
This is not a typical pre-sales role. We're looking for someone who genuinely loves technology, gets excited talking about what our platform can do, and has the rare ability to make that excitement contagious — in a boardroom, in a product demo, or over dinner in Tokyo.
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.
