We are partnering with a cross-border venture capital firm with offices in the Bay Area and Tokyo in recruiting a Marketing & Communications Senior Manager / Director . Backed by leading global corporations and with deep ties across Japan and Silicon Valley, the firm invests in high-growth technology companies and helps them expand into new markets.

The Role

This is a rare opportunity to design and lead a Marketing & Communications function inside a venture capital platform. You’ll be responsible for building brand visibility through storytelling — writing articles, blogs, newsletters, and interviews, while also producing podcasts, managing social media, and strengthening media relationships.

While the initial focus is on elevating the firm’s brand, this role has significant growth potential. Over time, you’ll expand the scope to support portfolio companies with their own marketing strategies and even help other Japan-based startups as they scale internationally. In short, you’ll not just be creating content, but shaping a new capability that can become a differentiator for the firm and a new business line.

What We’re Looking For

  • Native-level Japanese required
  • 5–10 years of experience in marketing, communications, journalism, PR, or content creation (VC/startup/tech media experience a plus)
  • Proven track record of producing engaging, narrative-driven content
  • Strong grasp of digital platforms (social media, podcasts, newsletters)
  • Entrepreneurial mindset; thrives in lean, globally minded teams
  • Passionate about startups, technology, and cross-border storytelling

Why Join

  • Build and own the marketing & communications function with full autonomy
  • Exposure to both Silicon Valley and Japanese startup ecosystems
  • Blend creativity with strategy: elevate the firm’s brand today, support portfolio growth tomorrow
  • Chance to grow this role into a service line for startups across Japan and beyond
