仕事内容Job description This initiative is a concept for a new SaaS / business solutions business targeting business systems for the manufacturing industry (ECM: Engineering Chain Management domain), which the company is advancing toward launch. "Human knowledge" accumulated at design and development sites in manufacturing is being lost along with its dependence on individuals. We are advancing a multi-product concept to address this structural challenge in Japan's manufacturing industry as products of the AI era.
We are recruiting early founding members for BizDev (business development) to accelerate this multi-product strategy. Before "selling" the product, you will be responsible end to end for identifying customer challenges, drawing the outline of the solution together with the team, and acquiring the first enthusiastic customers.
*Mission*: "Unleashing the knowledge of manufacturing as products"
In the design and development domain of manufacturing, there is a structural challenge: knowledge that depends on individuals is the competitive advantage of a business, yet it is lost with each generational change. This initiative aims to rebuild "human knowledge" through products of the AI era.
*Values*: "Understand customers deeply and move at high leverage through human + AI"
1. Understand customers and their challenges deeply before selling
2. Hypothesis-driven, learning while running
3. Embed AI into business processes and achieve results through human + AI
*Team structure*: A small core team consisting of a business head, a technical lead, and external collaborators. With the addition of this BizDev role, we will accelerate parallel validation of multiple product candidates.
*Working style*: Hybrid of on-site and remote work (on-site location: assumed to be Shibuya, on-site several days a week). A culture of moving at high leverage through "human + AI," actively incorporating AI such as Claude into business processes.
*Job satisfaction*: This role shapes the outline of products yet to be released to the world through customer voices. You can be involved as a founding member in the challenge of launching a new business originating from an SIer. It is a hybrid environment in which the company's financial strength and engineering foundation provide backing, while decision-making speed and customer discovery practices are those of a startup itself.
- The ability to design and analyze customer interviews, and to structure challenges and explain them to others
- The ability to validate solution hypotheses with "data and cases," and to propose the direction of products and the business
- Practical experience working in a "human + AI" way, incorporating AI (Claude and others) into work to gain leverage
- The experience of seeing a new business launch from the inside as an early member
The work consists of three main areas. In each, you will share responsibilities with the business head and technical lead, advancing the work while also using AI and external resources.
1. Find customers and identify challenges (CPF)
- Setting customer segment hypotheses and prioritizing target narrowing
- Designing, recruiting, and conducting customer discovery interviews (expected pace: several per week)
- Analyzing interview results, structuring challenges, and identifying burning needs
2. Achieve fit between the solution and customer challenges (PSF)
- Formulating solution hypotheses and conducting solution interviews using sales materials, mockups, storyboards, and the like
- Recruiting early adopters and validating willingness to pay (WTP) and budget size
- Recommending MVP requirements to the product team and acquiring enthusiastic customers (love customers)
3. Identify the "ship to bet on" across all phases
- Market research and market size estimation (TAM / SAM / SOM), competitive analysis and positioning
- Identifying opportunities for new products and new segments, and supporting pivot / persevere decisions
- Accumulating customer insights and decisions in the hypothesis database and decision log, and returning market input to the product roadmap
■ *Expected outcomes* (milestones after joining)
Month 3: Onboarding completed. Catching up on current hypotheses and interview assets, and able to articulate a challenge map for key segments. For one product candidate, personally arranging and conducting 15 or more new interviews.
Month 6: Able to explain the ICP (Ideal Customer Profile) hypothesis with data and cases. Able to present the latest version of the solution hypothesis internally, with evidence validated through customer interviews. Relationship building is progressing with 2 to 3 early adopters who are candidates for a PoC.
Month 12: The team has gathered materials for an PSF decision on the main product (customer testimony, willingness to pay, agreement on the solution). While running 2 to 3 product candidates in parallel, able to lead discussions on "grow," "stop," and "hold" with data. Has begun creating the first version of the sales playbook.
応募資格Requirement ・Sales experience in which the candidate provided and introduced BtoB business software to customers (regardless of SaaS, on-premise, or packaged software)
・3 or more years of practical experience in sales or consulting
・Experience of independently driving the full cycle of "prospecting customers, interviewing to understand their challenges, proposing solutions, and closing through to order"
・Hypothesis-driven thinking and self-directed initiative to decide for yourself "what to verify this week" even in uncertain situations
※Experience in the manufacturing domain or at a SaaS startup is not required.
We place emphasis on "experience delivering BtoB business software to customers" and "a mindset of running while verifying hypotheses." Domain knowledge is expected to be caught up after joining through interviews and reading.
[Preferred requirements]
・Experience at a BtoB SaaS startup or in new business development (0→1, 1→10)
・Business knowledge in manufacturing (design, development, production engineering), or in adjacent domains such as PLM / CAD / PDM
・Practical experience in hypothesis verification and customer discovery (interview design, analysis, problem structuring)
・Experience in consulting (strategy, general management, IT), marketing, or product management ・Experience using AI in your work (Claude / ChatGPT / Cursor / NotebookLM, etc.). Experience advancing research, document creation, meeting minute summarization, and hypothesis organization together with AI
