This role acts as the high-touch, local point of contact for the client’s regional leadership, ensuring that Lyra’s mental health solutions are seamlessly integrated within the unique regulatory and cultural landscape of the Japanese workplace. By bridging the gap between global strategy and local execution, you will own the end-to-end client lifecycle—from driving high-impact engagement and strategic account management to securing long-term client retention through data-driven ROI.

Cultural Localization & Engagement: Tailor global open enrollment and mental health awareness campaigns to resonate with the Japanese workforce, accounting for local sensitivities around stigma, overwork prevention, and workplace harmony.
Critical Incident & Crisis Escalation: Serve as the first line of defense for regional crises (e.g., workplace tragedies, natural disasters, or acute mental health emergencies), coordinating rapid-response clinical support that adheres to Japanese cultural norms.
Market Intelligence & Feedback Loop: Act as the "voice of the Japanese market" for Lyra’s product and clinical teams, providing insights on local competitor trends, regulatory changes and provider network gaps.
