What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters collaboration and innovation, allowing me to leverage my skills in product management and localization while contributing to a dynamic team.

My journey began at Robert Walters Japan, where I honed my skills in recruitment and learned the intricacies of aligning candidate needs with client expectations. This experience laid the foundation for my career, emphasizing the importance of effective communication in both English and Japanese.

Thereafter, I realized the need to deepen my business Japanese, which I successfully achieved through my subsequent role at Booking.com, mainly interacting with hotel concierges and guiding them on how to use our B2b extranet/reservation system thorough daily phone calls.

Currently, I am a Product Manager at DAZN Japan, where I bridge the gap between our UK headquarters and the Japan local team. My role involves overseeing localization projects, ensuring accurate translations, and managing all new product releases . I take pride in fostering strong relationships with clients and contributing to the growth of DAZN in the competitive sports streaming market. My experience has equipped me with a robust understanding of project management, customer service, and the nuances of Japanese business culture.
