This role works closely with members of the BD team in Asia and in London and has responsibility for the full range of business development and marketing initiatives within the local market including events, new business proposals, key client programme and marketing/PR campaigns. One of its key areas of focus will be to develop the level of support provided to partners within this office.
This is a great opportunity for someone who has an interest in the Asian market and is looking to gain first hand experience working within the region. Japanese language is not essential for this role and language lessons are provided within the package (although some knowledge would be beneficial). The successful candidate should demonstrate an appreciation of the cultural complexities of working within the Asian region. Strong English communications skills are required.
You will need previous business development experience for this role, from a professional services environment, as you will be working directly with and advising partners of the Tokyo office. Previous work experience from Japan would also be preferred but is not essential.
