Ready to own how Japan discovers the next generation of trading products? Join Centric Technologies and lead our Japanese market growth from the front.
The Opportunity
We are looking for a Marketing Lead for the Japanese market who lives at the intersection of marketing and product. You’ll own our Japan marketing end-to-end — strategy, execution, and growth — for our trading products (options and derivatives).
You won’t be solo: you’ll lead and grow a dedicated marketing team. But you’ll set the direction and be accountable for the results. To do that well, you need strong Japanese, a real feel for the Japanese market, and enough understanding of trading products and the business behind them to market them with credibility.
This is a remote role. We can hire in the UK, Europe, Cyprus, or Australia — anywhere except Japan.
What You’ll Do
- Own Japan Marketing: Build, execute, and take full ownership of the marketing plan for Japan — positioning, messaging, channels, budget, and growth targets.
- Lead the Team: Lead and grow a dedicated marketing team, setting priorities and standards while staying hands-on yourself.
- Build Partner & Creator Channels: Build and manage relationships with Japanese marketing partners — content creators, streamers, affiliates, and media — and turn them into a reliable, measurable growth channel.
- Bridge Product & Market: Work closely with Product and Leadership to translate our products into messaging that resonates with Japanese users, and feed market insight back into the roadmap.
- Own Market Intelligence: Stay ahead of the Japanese trading landscape — competitors, channels, and cultural nuance — and turn it into an edge.
What We’re Looking For
Must-Haves
- Japanese: You speak and write Japanese well enough to operate and build relationships in it. Native fluency isn’t required.
- Japanese-market marketing + trading understanding: Real experience marketing to the Japanese market, combined with a solid understanding of trading products and their derivatives (options, CFDs, FX, and the like).
- Product & business sense: You understand how the product works and how the business makes money, and you market accordingly — thinking in CAC, LTV, funnels, and ROI, not just brand.
- Ownership: A track record of building, executing, and owning marketing plans, and leading a team to deliver them.
- AI Experience: A proven ability to work with AI tools in marketing.
Nice-to-Haves
- Existing relationships with Japanese content creators, streamers, or affiliate networks.
- Experience reaching a 30+ trader demographic.
- Comfort with product and marketing analytics (e.g., PostHog) and data-driven decision-making.
