Not enough detail in this posting to match
Location: Japan (fully remote)
Type: Part-time independent contractor (æ¥åå§èš) â ~15 hours/week, flexible scheduling
Compensation: Â¥200,000âÂ¥325,000/month retainer, depending on experience and hours
Structure: Initial 3-month engagement, with the intent to extend and expand hours as the pipeline grows
About the Role
We're looking for an engaging, bilingualJapan Business Development & Partnerships Specialist to be the face of Labfront in Japan.
Japan is a proven market for us: strong inbound interest from Japanese researchers, an established research community, and a strategic hardware partner (Garmin Health) actively investing in growing the market with us. What's been missing is someone on the ground who can serve this community in Japanese.
Your core mission is focused:convert the inbound interest from Japanese researchers that currently stalls on language, and reactivate our referral pipeline with Garmin Health's local team. As the pipeline proves out and your hours grow, the role expands into community support and market development.
This is a relationship-driven business development role, not a high-pressure sales position. You'll work directly with our globally distributed leadership team and alongside Garmin Health's team in Japan.
What You'll Do
The core (from day one)
Convert inbound interest from Japanese researchers into active projects â manage a structured pipeline with consistent, proactive follow-up, from first conversation through university procurement to signed agreements.
Serve as Labfront's local liaison for Garmin Health in Japan: qualify and nurture their referral pipeline, working alongside their local team to rebuild a partnership with significant proven potential.
As the role grows
Be the primary Japanese-language contact for our existing Japan-based researchers â onboarding, support, and bridging their needs to our product and analytics teams.
Gather on-the-ground market intelligence: localization needs, feature requests, partnership opportunities â and help document the Japan playbook as we scale it.
Who You Are
Native-level Japanese (required): You'll serve customers and partners in Japanese â this is the language that matters most in this role.
Working professional English: Enough to collaborate day-to-day with our global team over Slack and video calls. It does not need to be perfect â if you can hold a working conversation and write a clear email, you're fine.
BD/partnerships aptitude: You've managed business relationships, pipelines, or accounts, and you know how to keep opportunities moving over long decision cycles.
Relationship builder: Personable, engaging, consultative. You build trust naturally and prefer long-term partnership over short-term pressure.
Self-starter: This is a part-time, autonomous role. You're organized, proactive, and comfortable figuring things out in a fast-moving startup.
Bonus (not required): Familiarity with academic research, health tech, or wearables. We'll teach you the domain.
Why Join Us
Own a market: Be the person who builds Labfront's presence in Japan.
Genuinely flexible: ~15 hours/week, remote, on a schedule you control â this role is designed to fit alongside an academic position, another consultancy, or family life.
Work with the best: Partner closely with Garmin Health and top-tier research institutions, and collaborate directly with an agile, globally distributed leadership team.
Grow with the market: Hours and scope expand as the pipeline you build proves out.
