Core Competencies (The Triangle)
User/Domain: Ability to structure complex operations (Finance, Accounting, HR). You must be able to explain the why behind a requirement, not just the what.
Business & Communication: Strong interpersonal skills to collaborate with Sales and CS. You act as the product advocate, ensuring that feedback from the field is funneled back into the roadmap while providing the clarity the business side needs to succeed.
AI & Technical Execution: You utilize AI tools to analyze data and translate vague requirements into high-resolution specifications. You lead the Agile development cycle by effectively communicating business and user constraints to engineers, ensuring the final output aligns perfectly with the strategic product vision.
Minimum Qualifications
1-3 years of experience as a Product Manager,
Business Analyst, or in a high-impact architectural role within the Fintech/SaaS sector.
Track Record of Ownership: Demonstrated ability to drive projects to completion by taking initiative beyond the standard job description.
Strategic Reverse-Calculation: Ability to visualize the "Final Goal" of a product and work backward to define the necessary steps, avoiding the trap of incremental "stacking."
Global Communication: Professional fluency in English.
Japanese Language Skills (JLPT N2 or higher): Essential for understanding the nuances of Japanese back-office constraints and influencing stakeholders in a multinational environment.
Preferred Qualifications
Direct experience with ERP, HR, or Accounting systems for SMEs or growth-stage companies.
Performance Expectations & Career Growth
Success in this role is measured by your ability to evolve from guided execution to independent leadership. You are expected to:
Initiate: Proactively propose additional features based on a clear understanding of why a specific function is required at a specific timing.
Self-Direct: Transition to identifying product needs and initiating PRDs from necessity without senior follow-up.
Support & Empower: Become the go-to expert for Sales and CS, reducing friction in the sales cycle and onboarding process through deep product knowledge and responsive communication.
The "Money Forward" Mindset
We are looking for product "craftsmen" with the tenacity to commit to a product's long-term evolution. If you aim to build the No. 1 Product Management team in the global SaaS industry and hold yourself to the highest standards of execution, we want to talk to you.
