A leading global alternatives investment platform with a long standing presence across Asia is seeking a Managing Director / Head of Japan to lead its Japan business.
The role carries full responsibility for origination, portfolio oversight, senior stakeholder engagement, and platform growth in Japan.
The firm has recently established a new portfolio company in Japan, with plans to build 4–5 additional portfolio investments over the coming years, supported by a global platform managing USD 135bn+ in assets and over 25 years of experience across Asia.
This is a senior leadership role suited to a buy-side–oriented investment professional with deep Japan market experience and strong M&A and origination credentials.

- Lead investment origination in Japan, with a strong focus on proprietary opportunities.
- Drive M&A execution, including transaction structuring, negotiation, due diligence, and investment committee processes.

- Act as a trusted partner to co-investors and strategic stakeholders.
- Deep professional and cultural understanding of the Japan market.
- 15+ years' experience in investment-related roles with a strong Japan focus.

- Strong portfolio management experience.
Experience on the buy-side is strongly preferred, including:
- Infrastructure GPs

- Merchant investment platforms (e.g. principal investing arms)
Sell-side backgrounds (investment banking) considered where there is:
- Significant M&A and origination exposure
