Job description

Overview

Join us in bringing Japan's cutting-edge technology to the world! We are looking for individuals who want to define their careers by seizing this once-in-a-century opportunity!

仕事概要

Eco-Pork is the world's only data‑driven company dedicated to its mission of "Co‑creating a circular pork economy through data." Our ultimate vision is to sustain the meat culture for the next generation.

Today, the world faces two critical challenges: the "Protein Crisis" and the environmental impact of livestock farming. To ensure a future where real meat remains a choice in 2040, we provide data solutions that harmonize productivity with environmental sustainability. Using ICT, IoT, and AI, we are driving Digital Transformation (DX) in the swine industry to solve global food security issues.

Business Overview

In 2018, we launched "Porker," a comprehensive farm‑management system for swine producers.

By 2027, global demand for protein is expected to outpace supply, and by 2040 the conventional meat market share is predicted to drop to 40% as cell‑cultured and plant‑based alternatives grow. We are committed to protecting "real meat" and securing a sustainable supply for the future.

Our flagship solution, Porker, empowers farmers through ICT‑driven visualization and AI‑powered production management. This ecosystem includes the world's first practical AI‑driven Pig Weight Measurement Camera (ABC). Currently, approximately 14% of all pork produced in Japan is managed using Porker.

Our innovation is highly recognized by the Japanese government, evidenced by our selection for the Ministry of Agriculture's Smart Agriculture Verification Project, the SBIR program, and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry’s "J‑Startup Impact" initiative.

The Role: Global Business Development

To truly revolutionize the global swine industry, we are entering a new phase: scaling our proven AI and IoT products to the world. International markets require a flexible and rapid approach to navigate diverse business customs and decision‑making processes.

We are looking for a Business Development professional to spearhead our expansion, starting with the US market. This is an ideal role for someone who wants to launch a global business from the ground up and lead major projects with high autonomy.

Responsibilities

• Identify and develop new customers and strategic partnerships in the US.
• Partner with clients to identify pain points, deliver value, and execute the full sales cycle.
• Analyze customer feedback and local market insights to provide strategic internal feedback.
• Design KPIs and drive the process toward Product‑Market Fit (PMF).
• Travel internationally and conduct on‑site client visits.

歓迎スキル

• Startup Agility: Experience working in a fast‑paced startup environment, with the ability to adapt and thrive in ambiguity.
• Global Exposure: Professional background in trading companies or multinational corporations, ideally with experience living and working abroad (expatriate experience).
