Work Detail
We are seeking a Business Development Manager at our company, which develops "N-NOSE®," the world's first cancer test that assesses the risk of cancer throughout the body with just one drop of urine. This is a management-oriented position requiring a deep understanding of the research and the ability to lead the business from a management perspective. [Background] Our company is currently in a phase of delivering the highly specialized technology of "N-NOSE" to the market in an accurate and easy-to-understand manner. Translating the value of this technology, based on a scientific understanding, into business language and implementing it in our business is a major management challenge as we enter a period of expansion. Currently, the CEO himself makes the final decisions in bridging the gap between the research and business divisions, but this burden is increasing as the organization expands. Therefore, we are now recruiting someone who can share this function at a management level. [Main Responsibilities] * Planning and promoting business strategies that connect research and business divisions * Making business decisions in areas such as marketing, sales, and overseas expansion * Building business governance based on scientific evidence * Bridging research and business in collaboration with the CEO [Mission of this Position] More than just departmental supervision, you will be responsible for the following: * Connecting science and business: Translating the value of research into business language and translating it into decision-making * Sharing management decisions: Sharing decision-making functions currently concentrated in the CEO's hands at the management level * Designing governance: Creating a system that guarantees the correctness of business based on scientific evidence * Responding to organizational expansion: Designing inter-departmental collaboration and decision-making processes during periods of expansion [Attractiveness of this Position] This position is directly under the CEO and involves the company's decision-making process itself. It is a position with the expectation of future promotion to an executive position. You will be involved as a stakeholder in management, from business strategy to the formulation of company-wide policies. ■ A rare career where you can handle both the language of research and business You can build a unique career of "science x management," which is difficult to obtain at other companies, rather than being just a researcher or a business person. ■Major Social Impact In Japan, 380,000 people die from cancer every year. Under the mission of "eliminating cancer suffering," you can play a central role in a business that delivers a world-class technology to society. ■Speed of Decision-Making As a deep tech startup, we offer agility, close proximity to the CEO, and an environment where decisions are implemented quickly.
