About the role
We are looking for an Account Management & Sales professional to join us in Tokyo, playing a pivotal role in driving EquiLend's commercial growth and strategic partnerships across the Japanese market.

In this role you will be responsible for building long-term, trusted relationships with key securities finance market participants, ensuring our clients derive maximum value from our solutions. You will lead a portfolio of high-value Japanese client accounts while also driving new business acquisition and market expansion.

As a senior commercial leader in Japan, this role has a direct impact on revenue growth, client retention, and EquiLend's regional footprint. You will represent EquiLend externally with senior client stakeholders and internally act as a regional voice, partnering closely with our global sales, product, technology, and operations teams to shape market positioning, inform product strategy, and prioritise client-led initiatives.

This is an opportunity to take ownership of a strategically important market for EquiLend, balancing disciplined execution with relationship leadership and contributing meaningfully to our long-term growth in APAC. 

What you'll do 

  • Own and manage strategic relationships with a portfolio of high-value Japanese client accounts, acting as the primary commercial contact for senior stakeholders.
  • Develop and execute structured account plans aligned to client objectives, regional priorities, and EquiLend's global commercial strategy.
  • Drive new logo acquisition in Japan through targeted business development, structured pipeline management, and disciplined execution.
  • Identify, qualify, and deliver cross-sell and upsell opportunities across our trading, post-trade, data, analytics, regtech, and platform solutions.
  • Lead the full sales lifecycle from opportunity qualification and solution positioning through commercial negotiation, contracting, and structured handover to account management.
  • Conduct formal client business reviews, ensuring measurable outcomes, clear follow-ups, and alignment with service delivery and product roadmaps.
  • Act as the senior escalation point for commercial and relationship issues, ensuring resolution within agreed governance, risk, and compliance frameworks.
  • Provide structured market insight and client feedback to product, technology, and leadership teams to support roadmap prioritisation and regional growth initiatives.
  • Represent EquiLend at industry forums, client events, and relevant regulatory or market discussions in Japan, in line with agreed messaging and brand standards.
  • Ensure adherence to internal processes related to IT security, client cyber due diligence, procurement, contracting, and regulatory obligations.
  • Contribute to regional planning, forecasting, and performance reporting with a strong focus on accuracy, transparency, and accountability. 

    • What we're looking for 

  • 10+ years in sales, account management, or commercial roles within financial services, fintech, or market infrastructure environments.
  • A proven track record of managing and growing high-value client relationships, delivering sustained revenue growth and strong retention.
  • Native or fluent Japanese language capability, enabling effective engagement with domestic clients and market participants.
  • Professional-level English language skills, both written and spoken, sufficient for contractual negotiation and global collaboration.
  • Strong experience developing and executing strategic account plans and managing complex, multi-product sales cycles.
  • Sound commercial judgement with the ability to negotiate and close high-value, multi-year commercial agreements.
  • High-level stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence senior decision-makers without direct authority.
  • Strong financial and analytical capability, including pipeline management, forecasting, and commercial performance assessment.
  • Experience working within structured, process-driven environments with consistent adherence to governance and controls.
  • Confidence using CRM platforms and sales management tools to ensure disciplined reporting and data integrity.
  • The ability to work independently with a high degree of accountability while collaborating effectively across global teams.
  • A clear and structured communication style, with the ability to present complex concepts concisely to senior audiences.
