Tokyo Notion

About Us:

We're on a mission to make it possible for every person, team, and company to be able to tailor their software to solve any problem and take on any challenge. Computers may be our most powerful tools, but most of us can't build or modify the software we use on them every day. At Notion, we want to change this with focus, design, and craft.

We've been working on this together since 2016, and have customers like Pixar, Mitsubishi, Figma, Plaid, Match Group, and thousands more on this journey with us. Today, we're growing fast and excited for new teammates to join us who are the best at what they do. We're passionate about building a company as diverse and creative as the millions of people Notion reaches worldwide.

About The Role:

The Startup Market Developer, a key driver of Notion's growth and adoption within the Japan startup ecosystem, will report to the Japan marketing lead. This role involves close collaboration with the GM of APAC and is part of our Regional Japan Marketing team.

By leveraging effective sales and relationship-building skills, these efforts directly contribute to the growth of Notion within the startup community.

This is a contractor role, with a minimum time commitment of 24 hours/week, for 3 months (with the potential to extend).

  • Collaborate with our global and regional team to curate lists of startups and potential partners for our Notion for Startup program
  • Build and execute compelling outreach campaigns to encourage startups and partners to submit their applications and building a strong network of partners
  • Plan and implement events and initiatives that connect Notion with the CxOs of startups and executives of VCs, accelerators, incubators.
