• 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.

• Relationship builder: You invest in people for the long term. Customers trust you and look forward to hearing from you.

• Run regular business reviews, product updates, and enablement sessions to keep customers engaged and growing their usage.
• Identify expansion opportunities within the existing customer base and work with the account team to develop them.

• Create and deliver presentations, webinars, and product content tailored for a Japanese audience.
• Build relationships within the local tech ecosystem — partners, communities, and influencers — that strengthen our presence in market.
