Director – Business Development, Japan
Location: Tokyo

Focus:

Japan-based and global clients with strategic, transactional, or reputational interests in Japan.



This role suits someone accustomed to high-touch client coverage, complex stakeholder management, and disciplined revenue generation. You will lead client development for a growing advisory firm whose work spans disputes, investigations, due diligence, and regulatory-driven mandates. The remit blends origination, account management, and strategic relationship building with law firms, corporates, financial institutions, and investors.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Originate new mandates by identifying opportunities across corporate transactions, disputes, regulatory issues, and strategic advisory needs.
  • Build and manage a portfolio of senior client relationships, ensuring consistent engagement and long-term commercial value.
  • Drive structured outreach and market-mapping to expand the firm’s reach across investment banks, private equity, corporates, and legal advisers.
  • Oversee live client matters to maintain delivery standards and protect commercial relationships.
  • Develop repeat business by anticipating client needs, positioning relevant services, and coordinating senior-level conversations.
  • Represent the firm in Japan as a credible, well-informed commercial counterpart who can translate complex situations into actionable opportunities.

Requirements:

  • Strong track record in investment banking, corporate finance, or a related client-facing advisory environment, with measurable success in origination or relationship coverage.
  • Demonstrated ability to win mandates, manage senior clients, and navigate cross-border dynamics.
  • Familiarity with transactions, due diligence, capital markets, restructurings, or other areas requiring rigorous analytical discipline.
  • Clear, concise communicator with the professional presence to engage at C-suite and board level.
  • Fluency in English; Japanese language skills strongly preferred.
