- Trading companies, wholesalers, or distributors
- Manufacturers handling physical products
- Businesses involving importing from Japan and selling in the U.S.
- Sales, sales operations, or supply chain roles involving tangible goods
You are likely someone who:

Requirements

- Experience across multiple functions (sales, procurement, operations, etc.)
- Ability to work in less structured environments and organize tasks independently
- Leadership potential and desire to grow within the company
Career Growth
- While this role has the potential to grow into a leadership or executive-track position, advancement will be based on performance and fit after joining. This is a great opportunity for someone looking to build a long-term career in an international business environment.
