Job Description:

Job Title: Japanese Bilingual Business Development Staff

Location: Schaumburg, IL  (Onsite)

Office hour: 9:00am – 5:30 pm

Classification: Exempt, Direct Hire, Full-Time

The Japanese Bilingual Business Development Staff primarily supports the Business Development Team through marketing and business development activities, including preparing reports and presentation materials, conducting research and providing recommendations, coordinating client meetings, and helping to maintain and expand existing corporate relationships. While the role contributes to new business development, it focuses on a relationship-driven sales approach—working with established clients and existing networks rather than cold calling—to identify new opportunities and support long-term growth. 

This position requires advanced-level Japanese speaking and writing capability, along with sales communication experience in a corporate B2B environment and the ability to nurture and expand corporate client relationships. The ideal candidate is Japanese bilingual, fluent in speaking, reading, and writing Japanese, and possesses a minimum of three years of B2B Sales and/or Marketing experience.

Responsibilities:

Track sales and business development progress by reviewing business goals, sales results, and market conditions.

Support the Business Development Director with reports and updates for executives and senior management in Japan. Assist in preparing and coordinating contracts and agreements with existing and prospective U.S.-based insurance clients and business partners. Prepare and coordinate presentation and promotional materials for prospecting activities. Conduct market and industry research and share findings with the Business Development team. Meet with prospective clients in person or virtually to gather information on current insurance programs and future needs. Support the execution of the sales process, including prospecting, planning, and new business development. Collaborate with internal teams to support cross-selling, upselling, and client retention initiatives. Assist with quality assurance activities, including coordination between sales, account servicing, and carrier partners. Maintain and manage prospect data, sales activities, and related documentation. Build and maintain professional relationships with clients, prospects, colleagues, and business partners. Maintain confidentiality of company and client information. Perform special projects and other miscellaneous duties as assigned.

Qualifications:

3 years of experience in B2B sales, business development, and/or marketing in a corporate environment; experience supporting relationship-based sales activities is preferred.

Advanced-level fluency in Japanese (speaking, reading, and writing). Bachelor’s degree from an accredited four-year college or university. Ability to obtain and maintain an active Property & Casualty and/or Life & Health insurance license after hire; training materials and support will be provided by the company. Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to interact professionally with clients, internal teams, and business partners. Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a team-oriented environment. Strong organizational skills with attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple priorities. Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint).

Benefits: 

Medical/Dental/Vision/Life/AD&D/LTD, PTO, Holidays, and 401k with matching.
