Role overview
M-out is a Tokyo-based startup factory that has launched over 50 businesses and achieved 10 successful exits since 2002. Operating on a “market-out” philosophy, the firm creates high-growth ventures based on real market needs rather than technology alone, now expanding its entrepreneurial engine into the UK and European markets.
What you will do
- Identify and evaluate high-potential business opportunities and market gaps within the UK and European landscape through rigorous research and networking.
- Build and maintain strategic relationships with potential partners, industry experts, and stakeholders to facilitate new market entry and business development.
- Produce detailed market reports and strategic recommendations for the Tokyo HQ, bridging the gap between local market insights and corporate investment goals.
Who this is a fit for
- Professional fluency in both Japanese and English is essential for frequent communication with Tokyo HQ and effective networking within the European market.
- Proven experience in business development or entrepreneurship, demonstrating the ability to navigate ambiguity and operate independently without a local office structure.
- A strong background or familiarity with the advertising, media, or marketing services sectors, coupled with the drive to build something from scratch.
Why this role is remarkable
- Greenfield Autonomy: Be the first person on the ground in London, with the unique freedom to identify and shape M-out’s expansion strategy across the UK and European markets.
- Proven Venture Engine: Join a “startup factory” with a 20-year track record of launching 50+ businesses and securing 10 successful exits, providing a stable yet entrepreneurial environment.
- Direct Influence: Work with high levels of independence while maintaining a direct line of communication to leadership at the Tokyo headquarters, influencing the company’s global direction.
