Company ProfileA globally recognised enterprise software leader, trusted by hundreds of insurers across 40+ countries, is expanding its digital practice in Tokyo. With a significant multi-year investment committed to the Japanese market and a growing roster of major domestic insurance clients, the company is building out a dedicated digital team to meet surging demand. This is a rare chance to join a global, high-impact team at exactly the right moment. The Role<ul><li>The Japan digital practice is growing rapidly, currently running a flagship project with a major Japanese insurer with more in the pipeline</li><li>Working in a professional services capacity, you'll guide enterprise insurance clients and implementation partners through the full lifecycle of digital solution delivery from scoping and discovery through to technical execution</li><li>You'll translate complex client requirements into practical, phased digital solutions built on a proprietary React/TypeScript-based single-page application framework, steering clients toward realistic MVPs rather than scope-heavy wishlist implementations</li><li>The role shifts between heavy client-facing engagement during discovery and design, and internal technical coordination with offshore delivery teams during build phases</li><li>You'll start 100% allocated to one flagship project to build your foundation, with a natural progression toward managing multiple engagements simultaneously as your profile grows</li><li>Day-to-day collaboration will span the Japan-based senior architect, regional division members and offshore delivery teams - you are supported, not isolated</li></ul> Your Skills <ul><li>Hands-on React and TypeScript experience is essential - you need to be able to get into the weeds, not just advise from a distance</li><li>A background in large enterprise - you understand how to deliver inside complex, layered client environments</li><li>Strong consulting and client-facing skills - the ability to walk into a room, build trust, and guide a senior stakeholder toward a better decision without making them feel overruled is arguably more important than technical depth alone</li><li>Business-level Japanese and strong English are both required - Japanese for client intimacy, English for offshore teams and global internal collaboration</li><li>Genuine understanding of Japanese business culture, particularly around expectation management and consensus-building</li><li>Agile delivery experience and the instinct to apply it even where iterative thinking isn't yet the client's default</li><li>A growth mindset - insurance knowledge is not required; smart learners with enterprise delivery experience have successfully made this transition before</li></ul> Key Highlights of the Role <ul><li>Join at an inflection point - a small Japan team backed by the full resources and expertise of a globally established company with colleagues averaging 10-15 years of tenure</li><li>Work on bleeding-edge digital technology - React today, AI-augmented tooling tomorrow - in a team that actively encourages you to explore and apply emerging tools</li><li>Hybrid flexibility: only 8 office days per month required, with up to 3-5 months of work-from-anywhere per year under a formal flexibility programme</li><li>Standout Japan market benefits: 21 days paid leave, home office setup allowance, annual wellness budget, comprehensive paternity leave, and long-term cash incentive compensation</li><li>Must be currently based in Japan or hold a valid work visa permitting immediate employment</li></ul> Location Tokyo Salary13 - 16 million yen Reference Number: 06940-0013405005 By clicking 'apply', you are deemed to have agreed to Robert Half Japan Privacy Notice (<a href="https://www.roberthalf.com/jp/en/privacy">https://www.roberthalf.com/jp/en/privacy</a>).
