About TCG

TCG is an emerging sustainability brand grounded in scientific research and material innovation. Our mission is to provide stylish, well-designed, and reasonably priced sustainable clothing to consumers who are looking for a better alternative. We hope to bring new materials, new processes, and new ideas out of the lab and into the marketplace.

We currently operate retail stores in Hong Kong and are expanding across Japan and East Asia. Our goal is to become a leading regional omni-channel brand. In Japan, our small but highly experienced startup team includes suppliers, designers, and operations professionals from across Asia. We have launched several pop-ups in Tokyo and are preparing to open additional stores — including a flagship location — in the coming months.

TCG is now seeking a General Manager for Japan to lead our local team and drive the next phase of the brand's growth.

About the Role

The General Manager (GM) will oversee all aspects of TCG's business operations in Japan. This is a rare opportunity to build, shape, and scale a high-growth retail brand from the ground up.
