We are looking for an exceptional Finance & Strategy (F&S) Manager to join the Finance team at PSA Japan, a division of Collectors and the market leader in third-party grading and authentication for trading cards in Japan.

This is not a traditional FP&A role. We are looking for a highly analytical, commercially minded finance leader who can help shape business strategy, challenge assumptions, and influence key decisions across the organization.
