In Southeast Asia, a major economic zone with a population nearing 700 million, Japanese companies have recently shown an increasing eagerness to invest in order to capitalize on its growth. Despite its cohesion as a vast economic region, Southeast Asia is characterized by the diversity of its countries, each possessing unique attributes. This complexity directly contributes to the intricate business challenges faced by Japanese firms entering the market. Due to the region’s booming market and unique challenges, there is a rising demand for consulting services to support clients’ mid‑to‑long‑term strategies, and we are seeking individuals to help lead our strategy consulting business in Southeast Asia.

Our Technology, Media, and Telecommunications team is no exception. Given the rising demand for supporting clients’ businesses, particularly in the areas of strategy consulting and marketing/digital strategy, we are actively recruiting for this position.
