Our client is a publicly listed, Tokyo-headquartered consumer brand known for thoughtfully designed products and a devoted customer community around the world. North America has become one of its most important growth markets, and the company recently established a U.S. subsidiary in Los Angeles to serve the region more directly.
We are looking for the first General Manager of the U.S. company. You will lead the U.S. company as a whole: its strategy and P&L, its sales and marketing, and the operations behind them, including finance, people, compliance and logistics.
You will report to C-level leadership at headquarters in Tokyo, and lead the U.S. team, including the Sales & Marketing Manager and the HR & Accounting Coordinator.
Own the business: Set the North American strategy, annual plan and budget together with headquarters, and take responsibility for the P&L.
Grow sales: Lead the development of retail, wholesale, distributor and e-commerce channels, including marketplaces such as Amazon, and manage key partner relationships.
Lead marketing in the region: Guide localized marketing, events and trade shows, and bring the voice of U.S. customers back to the product and brand teams in Tokyo.
Build and lead the team: Hire, develop and manage the U.S. team; set goals, review performance, and establish how the team works.
Run the company: Oversee finance and reporting with outside accountants, payroll and benefits with the PEO, and contracts, insurance and regulatory compliance.
Manage the supply chain: Oversee import, customs, inventory and fulfillment together with logistics partners.
Report and align: Provide regular business reporting to headquarters, and connect the U.S. market and the teams in Tokyo.
