As a Business Development Manager on the Worldwide Attach Ecosystem team, you will drive growth of Apple attach products — including Apple Accessories, Beats, and AppleCare — across Japan’s channel partners. You’ll own the full lifecycle: building sales programs that maximize revenue through digital and physical channels, and bringing those programs to life through merchandising, marketing, and in-store experiences that set the standard for how customers discover and buy these products. This role blends commercial strategy with hands-on program execution, requiring someone equally comfortable negotiating with retail partners and briefing a creative agency on fixture design.
Minimum Qualifications
Experience in business development, account management, or marketing communications (agency or in-house).
Track record working with Japan’s major consumer electronics retailers and/or carriers.
Demonstrated project management capability in a sales or marketing function.
Strong negotiation, collaboration, and stakeholder management skills — comfortable operating across senior leadership, retail buyers, and front-line staff.
Ability to drive programs independently within a complex, matrixed organization; comfortable with ambiguity.
Excellent presentation, written, and verbal communication skills.
Bilingual and bicultural in Japanese and English.
Ability to travel domestically (~25%) and occasionally internationally.
Preferred Qualifications
Deep familiarity with consumer electronics and audio industry trends, including sales and marketing tools and strategies.
Demonstrated ability to connect business objectives with effective, customer-facing solutions.
Strong aptitude for identifying key insights, cutting through complexity, and defining the right strategic path quickly.
