**Introduction**
This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a collaborative, international team environment and is a results-driven, but also creative individual. Fluency in both Japanese and English is essential, as is a solid understanding of marketing principles and passion for building meaningful audience connections. You’ll play a central role in enhancing Standart’s success in Japan, with the opportunity to work creatively and autonomously under a well-structured support system.

**About the Role**
As our Marketing Operations Specialist for Japan, you’ll play a crucial role in driving marketing operations and expanding Standart’s subscriber base in Japan. Working closely with our Marketing Manager, Mahira, you’ll execute and adapt strategies specifically suited to the Japanese market. This role will also include managing our global Standart World Instagram, connecting coffee lovers worldwide to our brand, and planning and participating in relevant industry events in Japan.

This role comes with meaningful responsibility, as you’ll play an important role in enhancing Standart’s success in Japanese market. You’ll be expected to approach your work systematically and with a calm, forward-thinking mindset, focusing on long-term impact rather than getting caught up in small details.

We’re looking for someone who thrives on autonomy and reacts to it with a high level of accountability. We need you to define your work habits, deliverables, schedule, and, most importantly, follow through and get things done.

Everyone on the team has an important role to play, and everyone has an impact.

**About You**
We are a small team with varied responsibilities that feed into each other. At Standart, we all work toward the same goal. We are looking for someone who has an optimistic attitude and avoids blaming and shaming. You need to own the concept of being responsible for communicating our product. Unless you tel…
