Job Title: Local Placement Manager – Osaka & Tokyo
Location: Japan (Osaka / Tokyo)
Duration: Full-time
Application Deadline: September 14th
Start Date: October 5th
The Role
This is a deliberately balanced, cross-functional role for someone who can combine genuine business development drive with the operational range to run international programs. You will co-own placement delivery across Osaka (KIX) and Tokyo, and you will own the delivery of custom experiential programs across Asia.
The two sides of the role are designed to fit together. Your placement scope is deliberately balanced so you have genuine capacity to run the custom experiential programs side properly. This is not a role where one responsibility is squeezed in around the other the balance is built in by design, so you can excel at both.
At its core, this role is about business development and placement quality: securing high-quality internship matches by building and sustaining a strong local employer ecosystem.



During sourcing season you drive the front-end sales pipeline; as placements fill you shift into relationship manager, ensuring outstanding, sustainable outcomes. During peak cycles you also direct the daily work of a local Internship Placement Coordinator, while retaining decision-making power over employer partnerships.
If you are a genuine go-getter with strong BD instincts who also thrives on operational ownership and international program delivery, this role is for you.
