Job description

When On Project (Client Delivery):

You'll lead workstreams on transformation projects (digital, operational, strategic). In practice, this means:

• Conducting stakeholder interviews, data analysis, and solution design

• Leading executive presentations and facilitating executive workshops, with increased responsibility for structuring narratives

• Managing the assigned project scope, from project timeline, deliverables, and day-to-day client interactions at VP/Director Level

• Supervising consultants and ensuring quality deliverables

At our office size, the jump from contributor to owner will happen faster than in it would be elsewhere. You will be encouraged and pushed earlier, directly supported by Senior internal decision makers.

Between Project (Business Development & Internal):

At most firms, consultants will spend years only seeing the delivery portion. Here, you will be exposed to the full lifecycle of a consulting business (from finding the opportunity to nurturing the relationship that brings the next one), allowing you to build solid business acumen earlier than you would anywhere else. This includes:

• Co-lead proposal development and client pitches alongside Partners

• Researching new market opportunities and prospective clients

• Building and maintaining relationships with new and existing client stakeholders

• Develop thought leadership content

• Playing a role in recruitment activities, including initial candidate screening, early-stage interviews and onboarding

This Role Is for You If

• You are curious and proactive by nature, and you want to understand how the full business works end to end

• You learn best by doing it, taking on responsibility progressively, and getting direct exposure to senior decision-makers early

• You have an appetite for growth and are willing to step outside your comfort zone

• You want to build your own reputation and grow into a solid businessperson without relying on firm's brand name

• You are bilingual (native Japanese, business English) and thrive in global teams

This Role Is NOT For You If

• You want Big4 brand name on your resume

• You need structured training programs and clear career frameworks

• You prefer to specialize in one industry/function only

• You work best with clear direction and defined tasks

• You want a predictable work-life balance regardless of client commitments

• Your Japanese is not native level: JLPT N1 alone is not sufficient for the client environment you will be working in
