• You will drive high-priority initiatives across the business, work with leadership to solve business and product challenges, build new teams, processes, and capabilities as the company grows, lead cross-functional projects from planning through execution, research new markets, products, and business opportunities, improve how we operate by identifying problems and implementing practical solutions, and take ownership of projects and deliver meaningful business outcomes.

• Comfortable working across different business functions.

• Curious, resourceful, and driven to build.
• This role is not for people who only want to attend meetings, candidates who cannot follow up aggressively and professionally, those who need fixed scope and slow timelines, people who avoid messy cross-functional problems, and people who produce long updates without clear decisions or next actions.
• This role is based in Japan and requires a hybrid work setup, with a minimum of 3 days per week in the Japan office.
• English is the main working language across global teams, and strong English communication is required.
• Our interview process is designed to move fast, with online assessments, role-specific interviews, and a final round with the CEO.

• We're looking for people who learn quickly, think deeply, and enjoy solving difficult problems in a fast-moving environment.
• We're looking for people who are passionate about building great next-generation products and redefining how everyone can get the best financial applications.
• We're looking for people who are driven to build and are not afraid to take ownership of projects and deliver meaningful business outcomes.
• We have teams working around the world, with over 20 nationalities from our offices and remotely, who truly enjoy their work.
• We're looking for the most talented and driven people we can find.
• We're looking for people who work for their passion, not counting hours.
• We're looking for people who love building great next-generation products, not status quo.
• We're looking for people who care about redefining how everyone around us can get the best financial applications, not for an exclusive few.
• If you're this person, we'd love to talk to you.
