performance marketer, based in Japan, starting now. The person a client talks to week to week, with a path to full-time by the end of the year if it's a fit.
RATE — Around AUD$50/hour (about ¥5,600), reviewed as things grow
COMMITMENT — Freelance now, path to full-time by the end of 2026 LOCATION — Based in Japan, Tokyo preferred. Remote day to day
START — As soon as you can. We're onboarding now
We're a fast-growing Australian agency that runs Amazon and TikTok Shop for global consumer brands, and we're expanding into Japan.
We need someone who knows performance marketing to look after the client-facing side of a growing book of accounts: the weekly updates, the questions, the "what is this number telling us" conversations. The strategy and the campaign work sit with the rest of the team. Your job is to be the person clients trust, and to explain the marketing clearly, in Japanese.
What the role is
- The main point of contact for the clients on your book, week to week
- Running the weekly client call in Japanese, and everything around it
- Turning campaign results into updates a non-marketer can follow
- Telling us what the client actually said, so the work gets sharper
- Working with our strategy and delivery team, not around them
- Freelance and light to begin with, growing as your book does
You'd suit this if
- You've run paid campaigns somewhere: Amazon, Google, or Meta
- You can explain performance marketing without the jargon
- Japanese is your working language with clients, English with us
- You've sat in front of clients before and held your own
What it isn't
- A strategy role. You won't be writing the media plans
- Full-time yet, or a fixed 20 hours a week to start
- A big agency. You'll work directly with me
- Amazon-only. Google or Meta experience carries over fine
- A translation job. You'll work in Japanese, but the job is the client relationship
How it works from here
A call with me, in English. Then a short paid task on real anonymised data, which you walk us through in Japanese the way you would with a client. About two hours, and we pay for it.
Requirements
- You've run paid campaigns somewhere. Amazon, Google, or Meta all count
- You can read performance data and explain what it means to someone who isn't a marketer
- Japanese good enough to hold a client relationship, including how you'd write to a client's marketing manager
- English good enough to work with an Australian team
- You're in Japan, ideally Tokyo, and can meet in person now and then
- You can start more or less straight away
- Some overlap with Australian hours for team calls
Nice to have, not needed: Amazon Ads on amazon.co.jp, Vendor Central, TikTok Shop, or other Japanese marketplaces.
Benefits
- You'll work directly with the founder, not through layers
- Freelance now, with a real path to full-time by the end of 2026 as the Japan book grows
- A team behind you doing the campaign work and the analysis, so you lead on the client
- Remote day to day, with occasional in-person in Tokyo
- Modern tools: ClickUp, Slack, Google Workspace
