THE ROLE
The 1000heads APAC team are looking for a confident, highly organised bilingual (Japanese/English) coordinator to support a key project in Japan.
This role is ideal for someone with strong marketing fundamentals and sharp business awareness who enjoys bringing structure to fast-moving work, keeping stakeholders aligned, and making workshops and deliverables run smoothly.
You will be responsible for hosting and supporting workshops, coordinating schedules, and partnering closely with the 1000heads team to manage design requests and day-to-day project logistics.
You'll help ensure briefs are clear, timelines are realistic, and outputs are delivered to a high standard while navigating Japanese and English communication with confidence and cultural fluency.
Experience in the technology sector (or with B2B / complex organisations) is a bonus.
You'll work closely with cross-functional specialists across Creative, Design, Strategy, and Insights to deliver social-first and marketing work that's operationally tight and client-ready.
This will be an initial one month fixed term contract with a possibility of extending dependent on project and business needs.

Stakeholder Management & Client Experience

Help translate workshop outcomes into practical deliverables (briefs, messaging notes, content requirements)
Requirements

Strong business awareness:
understands priorities, constraints, and how to manage trade-offs
Comfortable coordinating multiple stakeholders and navigating ambiguity
