Product Manager - E-commerce & Analytics (Remote, Japanese Essential)

Your Rare Combination of Skills Could Transform Japan Travel

Most ECommerce Product Managers understand data. Some speak Japanese. Almost none have both.

If you're that rare person who can analyze a conversion funnel in GA4 and negotiate with Japanese rail partners in their language, keep reading.

The Reality Check (Read This First)

This role is NOT for you if :

• Your Japanese is conversational but not business-level
• Your PM experience is in B2B SaaS, enterprise software, or physical products
• You've never optimized an e-commerce checkout flow
• You think GA4 is "just another analytics tool"
• You prefer project management to product strategy

This role IS for you if :

What You'll Actually Do

What We Need :

Someone who can figure out why our highest-ever traffic isn't converting, then fix it. Not theoretically - actually fix it with code changes, design tweaks, and A / B tests.

Why We're Being This Specific

Honestly? We've interviewed 30+ candidates. Many speak Japanese. Many are claiming Japanese skills. Others are business development or marketing people, not ecommerce product managers.

We need someone who actually fits this unusual profile : Japanese fluency + consumer e-commerce Product Mgr + analytics expertise + cultural bridge-building.

If that's you - genuinely you, not close-enough-you - we want to talk.

Our Team (15 People Globally)

Three Final Thoughts :

1. On Japanese Language :

If you're thinking "my Japanese is probably good enough" - it's not. This role requires daily business use. If you can't negotiate contract terms or explain complex analytics concepts in Japanese, this won't work.

2. On E-commerce Experience :

B2B SaaS product management is different. Marketplace product management is different. We need someone who understands consumer purchase psychology, checkout optimization, and conversion funnels in retail contexts.

3. On Remote Work :

We're not "remote-friendly" - we're remote-first. But we need overlap with UK business hours (roughly 9am-6pm GMT). Think about whether your timezone works before applying.
