About this role
This position is in DeNA’s entertainment business and focuses on merchandise, including miscellaneous goods, using anime, manga, and game intellectual property. The planner develops and executes strategy for general distribution through B2B sales channels. The role is responsible for building a distribution-channel portfolio that contributes directly to business sales and profit rather than limiting the work to wholesale sales.
The planner presents the value of DeNA’s IP projects to retailers and commercial facilities, secures suitable shelf space, and works toward large-scale tie-ups. Responsibilities include opening and deepening general-distribution channels through sell-side sales to anime shops, electronics retailers, convenience stores, and specialty stores.
The role leads channel-related work from establishing domestic distribution networks through sales promotion. It includes negotiating improvements to existing wholesale models, including cost ratios and fees, and designing an optimal distribution network that may include direct transactions.
The planner analyzes market trends and buyer activity, then provides feedback to the planning and manufacturing teams by proposing product specifications and intellectual properties with sales potential. The role also contributes to improving the accuracy of demand forecasts by distribution channel in order to reduce inventory risk.
Applicants are expected to have experience in channel sales in merchandise related to anime, manga, or games.
The stated initial work locations are DeNA’s Shibuya office in Shibuya, Tokyo; the Yokohama Arai Building office in Naka-ku, Yokohama; or the Yokohama BASEGATE office in Naka-ku, Yokohama.
