Understand client industries (manufacturing, automotive, BFSI, life sciences, etc.) and contextualize solutions to their environment.
Solution Structuring
- Convert abstract client needs into structured business problems with clear solution approaches.
- Shape roadmaps that balance business outcomes, cost considerations, and timelines.
- Articulate options that may include digital transformation programs, product/platform adoption, or advisory-led interventions.
- Align with Nagarro's internal business units to ensure solutions leverage the best domain and technical expertise. Stakeholder Management & Communication
- Serve as the primary bilingual interface between Japanese clients and Nagarro's global consulting and delivery teams.
- Facilitate communication across cultures, ensuring clarity, trust, and alignment at all stages. - Manage client expectations, build executive-level relationships, and foster long-term trust. Strategic Insight & Thought Leadership
- Bring perspective on market trends, competitive shifts, and new digital opportunities in Japan.
- Contribute to go-to-market strategy, positioning Nagarro as a partner-of-choice in the region.
- Provide input to marketing and sales teams to craft compelling narratives and proposals.
Qualifications - Language: Native Japanese fluency with strong English proficiency.
Education: Bachelor's degree in Business, Engineering, or related field. MBA or equivalent consulting experience preferred.
Experience:
o 14+ years across consulting, business analysis, product/solution management, or pre-sales.
o Management consulting or advisory background strongly preferred.
o Proven ability to design and articulate structured solutions to senior executives.
o Familiarity with technology concepts (digital transformation, enterprise IT, product engineering) and ability to bridge these with business needs.
o Strong facilitation, storytelling, and relationship-building skills.
What We're Looking For
- A strategic problem solver with consulting discipline and entrepreneurial agility.
- Ability to bridge business and technology without needing to be hands-on technical.
- Comfort operating in ambiguity and independently shaping opportunities in a new market.
- Strong cross-cultural communication skills and a passion for enabling Japanese enterprises to succeed globally
