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 posting also requires strength in building relationships and alignment with the company’s stated 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 described as desirable.

The position is a full-time regular employee role in Shibuya, Tokyo. The workplace uses a flextime system with core hours from 11:00 to 15:00, an estimated eight-hour workday, and average monthly overtime of 20 to 40 hours. A specialized discretionary labor system is also stated. The company operates the BLACKBOX³ four-sided LED studio, PEAKS STUDIO, and GONDOLA RECORDS, enabling planning, filming, and distribution within the company.

Annual compensation is JPY 4,000,000 to 7,000,000 as a guideline and may be adjusted based on experience, previous compensation, and ability under company rules. Salary is reviewed annually, and a settlement bonus is available. The probationary period is six months. Benefits include social insurance, commuting transportation, influenza vaccination, babysitter-ticket assistance, support for study meetings, training and books, freee welfare benefits, and full support for installation and usage fees for a designated high-speed home internet line. The office has a designated smoking room. Holidays include a two-day weekend on Saturdays and Sundays and national holidays, New Year holidays, paid leave after six months with 10 days granted in the first year, bereavement leave, Sick Leave, marriage leave, maternity leave, childcare leave, and nursing-care leave. The selection process consists of document screening, first interview, second interview, a personality aptitude test after the second interview, final interview, and an offer.
