AI/DX Executive Director

This executive director role leads AI strategy and business-model transformation projects for major enterprises. Responsibilities include researching and analyzing advanced overseas AI use cases, proposing next-generation business models, and designing and establishing AI Centers of Excellence rather than limiting work to tool introduction.

The role works with chairpersons, presidents, and other C-suite counterparts at large financial groups and similar organizations. It leads discussions on transformation roadmaps, supports decision-making, and helps drive change. As the practical leader directly under the CEO, the position also contributes daily to organizational issues and growth strategy. The stated career path includes possible appointment as an executive officer and progression toward COO within one to two years after joining.

Required experience includes working at principal or senior manager level or above in a strategy consulting firm, or equivalent experience in an operating company, with an indicative threshold of five or more years. Candidates must have led projects with C-suite counterparts, be able to combine overseas examples and knowledge of advanced technologies to develop original hypotheses and strategies for highly abstract challenges, and possess business-use literacy in AI, machine learning, and data science. Knowledge of large-scale industries such as finance, infrastructure, or manufacturing is welcome, as is entrepreneurial or zero-to-one new business management experience.

The work covers strategy, business transformation, AI implementation, and impact creation. Projects involve collaboration with researchers and engineers and may include generative AI, including multimodal systems, image analysis, and satellite-data analysis. The company works on projects including manufacturing DX, satellite data analysis, and security and intelligence-related fields, supporting clients from problem definition and system development through operational adoption.

The position is a permanent employee role with no fixed contract term and a six-month probationary period. The expected annual salary is 15 million to 30 million yen, including performance-linked bonuses; the posting also states a minimum guarantee of 15 million yen and payment records of 25 million to 30 million yen. Stock-option or other equity participation may be discussed individually. Work is based in Otemachi, Chiyoda, Tokyo, with hybrid work and remote work generally available on four days per week. Some customer visits and work at customer facilities are required depending on implementation, deployment, closed-network, or secure-environment needs. Working hours follow a discretionary work system with eight deemed hours per day; during probation, a flextime system applies. Benefits include twice-yearly bonuses, health and social insurance, transportation reimbursement, study and career support, patent rewards, learning sessions, and equipment and learning-material expenses.
