Lead M&A strategy and the M&A team for a listed AI startup, covering sourcing, due diligence, PMI, group-company management, disclosure, and JV or subsidiary governance.
About this role
This role is designed for a consultant who wants to progress toward leading a business and eventually take responsibility for a profit-and-loss area. The position combines professional consulting services with practical responsibility for business development and commercialization.
The role uses problem-solving and structured-thinking skills developed in consulting to continue delivering professional services. At the same time, the successful candidate will deepen industry knowledge, build the partnerships and networks required for new initiatives, and secure the resources needed to move projects forward.
Within limits on time, personnel and budget, the role contributes to Joint R&D and business development aimed at commercializing and scaling businesses. JDSC describes Joint R&D as collaboration between companies that already possess business assets and JDSC, which contributes DX consulting, AI and IT capabilities, with each party taking a complementary role in launching businesses.
The position is intended as a practical transition from consulting to business leadership. A cited example is Seawise, established as a joint venture by Mitsui & Co., Tsuneishi Shipbuilding and JDSC. The job posting presents the role as an opportunity to move from consulting as an adviser toward becoming a business leader responsible for a P&L.
The work location is in Koishikawa, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo. The employment type is regular full-time employment. No salary, working hours, language requirement, benefits or visa sponsorship details are stated.
