Senior Account Executive, Tokyo

You’re the kind of person who looks at the way technology is reshaping our world and thinks, “I want to be part of that.” Complex problems excite you. Being in the middle of fast-moving conversations, influencing outcomes, and helping clients navigate their next big challenge gives you energy.

You thrive when surrounded by sharp, curious teammates — people who push your thinking, value collaboration, and aren’t afraid to challenge the status quo. You’re fascinated by how emerging technologies like GenAI, FinTech innovation, blockchain applications, and Greentech breakthroughs can redefine industries and open entirely new possibilities. And you want to be right where those shifts are happening.

We’re looking for individuals who bring that same spark — high-energy, intelligent, ambitious talents who see themselves growing into trusted communication consultants and future leaders. People who bring fresh ideas, a sense of humor, and an open mind. People who enjoy working across teams, across markets, and across perspectives.

If this feels like a story you want to be part of, turn the page.
