Responsibilities :

  • Act as a trusted advisor and strategic partner to the CEO and executive team, supporting decision-making and high-impact projects.

  • Represent the executive team in internal and external meetings when needed.

Requirements

  • 7+ years of experience in strategic roles, consulting, or business operations, with proven experience managing high-level projects.
  • Strong leadership skills, with the ability to build trust and work collaboratively with senior leaders.
  • Exceptional organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
  • Proficiency in both English and Japanese is a plus, given the cross-functional and executive-facing nature of the role.
  • Benefits

  • Private Health Insurance
  • Pension Plan
  • Paid Time Off
  • Work From Home
  • At Substance, we’re all about action, not just talk. If your profile aligns with what we need, you’ll hear from us within 1-2 weeks. If not, no fluff—just know we value your interest and will keep you in mind for future roles where your skills can make an impact. We focus on real connections and meaningful matches, so when the right opportunity comes, we’ll be ready to make it happen.
