We’re looking for a Business Development Manager to drive growth for our Game Audio division in Japan. This role focuses on expanding partnerships and revenue for our voice-over, dialogue recording, and Foley production services across console, PC, and mobile game developers.

You’ll be the face of our Tokyo-based studio, building relationships, creating proposals, and developing new business opportunities with both domestic and international clients. This position is ideal for someone who combines commercial acumen with a deep understanding of game audio production.

Sales & Account Growth:
Lead business development for voice-over, Foley, and full-service game audio recording. Build and maintain relationships with producers, audio directors, and localization managers across major and indie studios.

Market Development: Identify new opportunities by tracking emerging trends in game audio, localization, and production pipelines. Expand our client base beyond Japan into key global markets.

Client Consultation: Conduct detailed discovery sessions to understand project needs, scope recording and post-production requirements, and develop tailored proposals.

Collaboration: Partner with our audio production, localization, and global BD teams to deliver cohesive client solutions.

Strategic Planning: Develop go-to-market strategies for new services and technologies. Provide feedback to internal teams to enhance offerings and competitiveness.

Performance Management: Own your revenue targets, manage forecasting, and maintain an active CRM pipeline.
