Senior Sales Partner - Japan

Netflix is one of the world's leading entertainment services, with over 300 million paid memberships in over 190 countries enjoying TV series, films and games across a wide variety of genres and languages. Members can play, pause and resume watching as much as they want, anytime, anywhere, and can change their plans at any time.

As a Senior Sales Partner in Japan, you will play a pivotal role in shaping and executing the commercial strategy that drives long-term advertiser growth and positions Netflix as a core partner with those advertisers.

This is a highly strategic, client-facing role that requires exceptional relationship management, business acumen, and the ability to translate market insights into actionable growth strategies. You will engage directly with C-suite and senior decision makers at major advertisers and agencies, influencing how the country’s most iconic brands invest in premium streaming environments.

Key responsibilities:

• Define and execute strategies to expand advertiser investment and deliver sustainable revenue growth for Netflix Ads in Japan.

• Represent Netflix Ads as a thought leader in the Japan advertising industry—at industry events and in seminar with clients.

• Build trusted partnerships with C-level and senior marketing executives at both advertisers and agencies.

• Serve as a strategic advisor / consultant who can elevate conversations beyond media buying—shaping how advertisers connect with audiences through meaningful storytelling on Netflix.

• Partner closely with internal cross-functional stakeholders (Measurement, Marketing Partnerships, Revenue & Yield Analytics, Policy, Product etc) to deliver customized, outcome-based solutions.
