Marketing Director

The Marketing Director will lead structural changes intended to improve business growth. Responsibilities include developing marketing strategy, partnering with management members and business leaders, leading KPI and investment decisions, proposing growth initiatives based on market conditions and deep customer insight, and initiating and driving company-wide projects that extend beyond marketing. The role also includes building a self-directed marketing organization and developing next-generation leaders.

This is not a position with a rigidly defined set of duties. The successful candidate is expected to use strengths developed through previous experience to design the approach for achieving the business plan, identify business bottlenecks, and engage with product or sales strategy when necessary.

Required qualifications include a record of using marketing in either B2B or B2C to change a business's growth phase. Candidates must be able to build agreement on strategy with executives and stakeholders using data and conviction, and structure solutions by posing their own questions in highly uncertain environments. The posting also seeks an autonomous professional who can analyze what the business lacks, take action to address it, understand the limits of established marketing methods, and explore what comes next.

Preferred qualifications include a deep understanding of SaaS unit economics, experience leading a new business from launch through scaling, and experience managing an organization of more than 10 people or overseeing multiple teams.

The role supports a business providing integrated cloud software for small and midsize businesses and individuals. Its products include accounting, human resources and labor management, sales management, tax filing, and electronic-signature services. The position is listed as full-time in Tokyo for a mid-career hire, and online interviews are available. Company information lists 1,901 members. The stated development environment includes assignments, goal setting, feedback, quarterly evaluation cycles, an Impact Milestone grading system, and managers who support team-member growth and performance.
