This role focuses on business development in retail robotics, expanding partnerships with convenience stores in Japan.
About this role
This specialist supports publicly funded robotics projects, including NEDO programs already in execution. The immediate focus is project administration; depending on experience, it may later include new applications, policy coordination and proposals.
The role tracks progress, schedules and budgets, prepares materials, organizes evidence for inspections, establishes internal funding rules and workflows, and coordinates technical, business-development, accounting and legal teams with outside stakeholders.
The posting welcomes related backgrounds rather than requiring every item. Experience may come from project management, a secretariat or consulting involving multiple stakeholders. Candidates must turn guidelines, contracts, internal rules and public procedures into practice; create materials in Excel or Google Sheets and PowerPoint or Google Slides; manage concurrent deadlines accurately; and communicate across organizations.
