THE ROLE We are seeking an accomplished, results-driven commercial professional to step into the role of Luxury Resale B2B Senior Account Manager in Japan. This position is ideal for an experienced individual contributor who seamlessly combines strong commercial acumen with deep operational expertise. In this senior role, you will take full ownership of the long-term containment, operational performance, and B2B account retention strategies for our upfront buying and physical consignment partnerships. While your days will inevitably involve a degree of tactical, hands-on operational firefighting to keep processes moving smoothly, your primary focus must remain on driving mid-term framework optimization, establishing repeatable account playbooks, and conducting robust and data-driven reviews of partner performance. Furthermore, you will actively spearhead cross-functional continuous improvement projects alongside global teams.

Cross-Functional Projects & Continuous Improvement Serve as the core B2B partnership stakeholder in complex, cross-functional business initiatives alongside central global teams (Buying, Operations, Finance, Tech). Translate macro-industry performance insights into regional growth strategies, unblocking systemic friction before it affects stock inflows or margins. Provide structured feedback on partners' processes and needs to help internal teams develop scalable solutions for long-term B2B relationship success. 3. Operational Shielding & Escalation Management Act as the final line of defense for partner retention by directly resolving advanced daily or weekly operational struggles. Support financial reconciliation bottlenecks, handling disputed credit notes or billing blocks with central Finance team.
