Lead product strategy, priorities and delivery for Fanicon and other THECOO products in Tokyo. Requires product management experience and communication with stakeholders in Japanese and an English-speaking development team.
About this role
This is a corporate sales role for Fanicon, a monthly subscription communication app where entertainers and artists connect directly with fans. The representative proposes Fanicon-based fan-business opportunities to entertainment agencies, YouTuber agencies, sports teams, publishers, and artist-management companies. Responsibilities include developing new clients in new genres and industries, approaching potential partners, hearing their issues, proposing solutions through Fanicon, negotiating contracts, supporting implementation, and coordinating with the community operations team.
The role also covers the design and launch of new communities. The representative works with each client to consider how it should connect with fans and what kind of community experience to create, participating in the process from zero rather than limiting the work to sales. Fanicon is a paid-member-only community service positioned between an online salon and a traditional annual-fee fan club. The service is used by idols, artists, actors, musicians, talents, public figures, YouTubers, sports teams, and K-pop idols. The business domain is digital transformation in the entertainment industry.
Applicants must have at least three years of proposal-based corporate sales experience involving intangible products or services; the industry is not restricted. The role also requires strength in building relationships and alignment with the company’s values of continuing to challenge what seems impossible and combining freedom with responsibility. Preferred qualifications include sales experience with high-priced intangible products or services, proposal or employment experience in the entertainment industry, experience at a startup or growth-stage company, and cross-team communication or project-promotion skills. Initiative, execution, interest in entertainment, and the ability to keep seeking suitable methods are also desirable.
The position is a full-time regular employee role in Shibuya, Tokyo. The company operates the BLACKBOX³ four-sided LED studio, PEAKS STUDIO, and GONDOLA RECORDS, enabling planning, filming, and distribution within the company.
The probationary period is six months. The office has a designated smoking room. The selection process consists of document screening, first interview, second interview, a personality aptitude test after the second interview, final interview, and an offer.
