Are you a client-facing sales professional with deep experience in voice recording and a strong understanding of the games industry?

A leading studio is looking for a skilled sales professional to help expand its presence in the domestic and international video game market. You’ll be responsible for providing high-quality voice recording services to clients across gaming and related industries, managing everything from client engagement to project delivery.

This is a full-time, client-facing role ideal for someone who understands the production pipeline, thrives in a creative and tech-driven environment, and is confident managing complex sales cycles from initial contact through to successful deal closure.

What we’re looking for

• Fluent Japanese communication skills, with the ability to lead projects independently from outreach to deal closure
• Understanding of CRM systems and working knowledge of tools such as Word and Excel

• Passion for games and entertainment content

Preferred qualifications

• In-depth knowledge of the games industry or experience selling into entertainment sectors
