Leads BOOKTRAIL’s bookstore business, overseeing sales and operations teams of 15–20 people while driving adoption, major-chain negotiations, store support, and service improvements.
About this role
PubteX, a publishing-distribution company backed by Shogakukan, Kodansha, Shueisha and the Marubeni group, is hiring a Business Planning and Promotion member for the project that launches a new supply chain platform business making book distribution data-driven and sustainable. The business combines digital transformation with logistics to deliver just-in-time solutions, joining AI services with physical distribution.
Under the business planning leader, the person plans and drives the launch and growth of the new business. Duties cover business strategy, the future shape of the service, monetization and expansion strategy, and income and budget planning; and project promotion, including drafting and updating the project plan and task breakdown, coordinating and tracking task owners, building agreement with executives and stakeholders, running discussion and progress meetings, and preparing reports and proposals. The member joins a new planning team under the division head with a team leader and two members, so the work covers planning across the whole new business rather than one slice.
No formal qualification list is given. The role calls for tough negotiating skill with many stakeholders across publishers, distributors and bookstores.
