Tokyo Third Bridge Full time
Job Description

What you'll do

As an Associate, you'll spend much of your time on the phone, tracking down experts, building relationships with them and persuading them to speak to our clients. Ultimately, it's about finding out whether they're the right fit for our clients' needs, and whether they know the answers to the questions our clients want to ask.

Then, you'll set up consultations between our clients and the experts you find and negotiate the terms of each meeting. All while continuing to develop and strengthen the relationships you create.

It's exciting, fast-paced, deadline-driven, and results-oriented - and you'll focus on delivering the highest standards of service as you take on multiple projects at once. But there'll also be lots of opportunities to focus on yourself too, and we'll support you with all the training, learning and development you need to progress and grow into your role - and beyond.

We're a business that supports the investment industry - so it makes sense that we also invest in our people, too.

Qualifications

What you'll need

Native in Japanese and fluent in English.

Of course, brilliant communication skills - especially using the phone - are essential.

We're looking for strong academic credentials, or a proven background in a customer focused role. You'll be looking to build your expertise in client engagement, influencing, negotiation, project management and stakeholder management - or you'll be looking to build on your existing knowledge in these areas. But either way, you'll need to be the kind of person who thrives in a hands-on, high-performance role where results matter.

Attention to detail and an ability to work under pressure are just as important, and you'll more than feel at home in a culture that's built on feedback, open communication, continuous learning and winning as a team.

Above all, you'll have what it takes to exceed our clients' expectations with every call you make, every consultation you arrange, and every contract you impact...
