This is a hybrid position working 3 days per week in our Tokyo, Japan office. 

What this looks like day-to-day

• Enterprise deal leadership: Act as the internal lead for complex enterprise opportunities, coordinating cross-functional partners across Solutions Engineering, Customer Success, Legal, Product, and executive leadership. You keep the team aligned, the deal strategy clear, and the process moving with urgency and discipline.
• Executive relationship building: Build and maintain strong relationships across the C-suite, IT, and business leadership within organizations of 1,500+ employees. You understand stakeholder priorities and connect Pendo’s value to meaningful business outcomes.
• Value-based selling: Lead sales cycles focused on solving meaningful business problems and supporting digital transformation initiatives. You shape the value narrative, guide customers through complex decisions, and position Pendo as a strategic partner.

Who You Are

Beyond the qualifications, we hire through a specific lens. These aren't buzzwords; they're the things we'll actually look for in how you talk about your work.

You're a builder, not a maintainer.
You’re most energized when there isn’t a clear path yet, and you get to define it. You don’t wait for direction; you identify gaps, shape solutions, and drive them forward. At Pendo, great recruiters don’t just follow instructions; they operate as strategic advisors, influencing hiring decisions, guiding stakeholders, and elevating how we attract talent.

You're AI-curious - genuinely.
You're not using AI tools occasionally. You're rewiring how you work around them. You're faster, sharper, and more prolific because of it, and you bring that energy to everything;  how you source, how you prep for intakes, how you draft outreach, how you think. We want someone who sees AI as a multiplier, not a shortcut.

Must-haves

• Proven track record of success in enterprise software sales, including SaaS or application software, selling into organizations with 1,500+ employees.
• Experience using MEDDPICC and/or Force Management to manage complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles.
• Demonstrated ability to generate pipeline independently through strategic prospecting and account development.
• Experience leading cross-functional deal teams across Solutions Engineering, Legal, Customer Success, and executive stakeholders to close enterprise agreements.
• Comfort using AI tools to improve sales efficiency, preparation, and customer engagement.
•  

Nice-to-haves

Experience working in a startup or high-growth environment where you navigated ambiguity and built new processes or approaches.

• Success selling emerging or innovative technologies that required educating the market and shaping the value narrative.
• A track record of perseverance and resilience in professional or personal pursuits.
• Demonstrated ability to mentor peers and contribute to the overall development of the sales organization.

Role:  Content Creator

Location:  Tokyo, Japan

About the role: 

Looking to do the best work of your career? 

Do it with Dove, one of the most respected global brands on social. We’re building a team across 15 markets to own Dove’s social presence end to end: insight and ideation, platform-native creative, publishing, live ops, and community. From the first idea to the final reply, you’ll shape how Dove shows up every day and create work that influences culture. 

You’ll move at newsroom speed with rigorous craft—launching ideas that travel, partnering with standout creators, and turning comments into conversations that become cultural moments. The brief is straightforward: make Dove the most culturally relevant brand on social. You’ll have the scale, purpose, and creative freedom to make it real. 

If you’re motivated by ideas that matter, sharpened by data, and committed to making the internet more positive, this is the place to do it. Bring your craft and your courage. Together we’ll build culture—not just content—and do the best work of our careers. 

You'll be a hands-on creative making content that belongs in people's feeds. Based in London with a hybrid working arrangement (minimum 3 days per week on-site), you'll concept, shoot, edit, and produce social-first content for Dove across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts, and emerging platforms. Working closely with the senior content creator, social media managers, and the wider studio team, your ability to produce authentic, culturally fluent content at pace will help keep Dove's social presence genuine, engaging, and distinctly its own. 

We support flexible working and are open to different arrangements. We offer reasonable adjustments throughout the process. 

You'll be one of the key creatives behind Dove's social content, producing work that makes the brand one of the most engaging and trusted voices in beauty online. This isn't about polished ad campaigns adapted for social. It's about content that feels native to each platform, content that resonates because it reflects real people, real moments, and real conversations about beauty, confidence, and self-esteem. 

Working at the intersection of brand purpose and social culture, you'll create content that sits naturally alongside the creators, conversations, and trends your audience already follows. You understand that the most effective brand content doesn't feel like brand content at all. It feels honest, relevant, and worth sharing. 

We're looking for someone who is culturally plugged in, creatively resourceful, and comfortable producing content end to end. Someone who can spot a content opportunity, concept it quickly, produce it with care, and deliver it while it's still relevant. Success means content that people genuinely want to engage with, that strengthens Dove's brand affinity, and that drives saves, shares, comments, and conversation. 

What you will be doing: 

• Concept, shoot, edit, and produce social-first content for Dove across TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, Stories, static, and emerging formats 
• Develop content ideas that translate Dove's brand purpose and product messaging into authentic, platform-native moments that audiences relate to and want to share 
• Create lo-fi, high-impact content using a mix of smartphone, DSLR, and simple lighting and production setups, prioritising authenticity over polish 
• Storyboard and present content concepts, clearly articulating the creative idea and platform rationale 
• Stay current with social trends, viral formats, platform features, creator culture, and emerging content styles, flagging relevant opportunities to the team and translating them into content ideas for Dove 
• Produce reactive and real-time content that connects Dove to cultural moments and trending conversations while staying true to the brand's voice and values 
• Edit and adapt content across formats and platforms, reimagining a single shoot or asset in multiple ways to maximise reach and relevance (using Premiere Pro, CapCut, and native platform editing tools) 
• Collaborate with social media managers to align content with publishing calendars, campaign timelines, and community engagement priorities 
• Support shoots and content production involving content creators, influencers, and real people, ensuring the process is inclusive, respectful, and reflective of Dove's commitment to representing real beauty 
• Experiment with new formats, techniques, and creative approaches, sharing what works and what doesn't with the wider team 
• Use Gen AI tools to support content creation, from ideation and visual references to editing and copy exploration 
• Ensure all content meets platform specifications, brand guidelines, accessibility standards, and compliance requirements 

What you need to be great in this role: 

• A portfolio demonstrating 2-4 years of social content creation, with examples of platform-native work that generated genuine audience engagement (shares, saves, comments, conversation) 
• Technical confidence across the content creation process: concepting, shooting, editing, and publishing, with comfort moving between smartphone and DSLR setups 
• Solid editing skills in Premiere Pro, Canva, CapCut, or equivalent, with the ability to adapt content across formats and platforms 
• Fluency in social platforms (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and emerging channels), including an understanding of what performs, why, and how content is discovered and shared 
• A feel for cultural relevance, with the ability to spot trending moments, formats, and conversations and turn them into content ideas quickly 
• Experience creating content for consumer brands, with an understanding of how to communicate product or brand messages in a way that feels genuine and relatable rather than forced 
• The ability to work at social speed, managing your time and priorities to deliver quality content on tight turnarounds 
• A collaborative, proactive attitude, with a willingness to pitch in across different types of content and production needs 
• An interest in inclusive content creation, including authentic representation in casting, imagery, and storytelling 
• Professional proficiency in English; additional languages are a plus 

Gen AI and Agentic Thinking: 

• Basic proficiency with Gen AI tools (such as ChatGPT, Midjourney, Adobe Firefly, DALL-E) to support ideation, mood boarding, visual exploration, and content iteration 
• An agentic approach to your work: ability to self-organise, break down creative tasks, find efficient solutions, and deliver independently 
• Willingness to experiment with AI tools as part of the content creation process, understanding when they add value and when human creativity and judgement are needed 
• Understanding of AI limitations, with an eye for outputs that feel authentic versus generic 
• Qualifications: Formal degrees are welcome but not required. Equivalent experience counts. Experience can be gained through work, study, volunteering, or self-directed learning. 

Nice to have:  

• Experience working on beauty, personal care, wellness, or lifestyle brands 
• Experience in an in-house agency, embedded studio, or social-specialist content team 
• Motion graphics or animation skills (After Effects or similar) 
• Photography skills and experience with still content for social 
• Experience creating content that addresses topics such as body confidence, self-esteem, or inclusivity 
• Familiarity with social analytics and how performance data informs creative decisions 
• Experience with accessibility in content creation (captions, alt text, inclusive design) 
• Experience working with or alongside content creators and influencers

Role:  Social Media & Influencer Manager

Location:  Tokyo, Japan

About the role: 

Looking to do the best work of your career? 

Do it with Dove, one of the most respected global brands on social. We're building a team across 15 markets to own Dove's social presence end to end: insight and ideation, platform-native creative, publishing, live ops, and community. From the first idea to the final reply, you'll shape how Dove shows up every day and create work that influences culture. 

You'll move at newsroom speed with rigorous craft — launching ideas that travel, partnering with standout creators, and turning comments into conversations that become cultural moments. The brief is straightforward: make Dove the most culturally relevant brand on social. You'll have the scale, purpose, and creative freedom to make it real. 

This is a genuinely dual role. You'll run the day-to-day social operation — content planning, publishing, community engagement, and performance tracking — while simultaneously building and managing the creator community that brings Dove's brand to life in the most authentic, relatable way across platforms. Two disciplines, one joined-up function. If you thrive on variety, move fluidly between the operational and the relational, and understand instinctively how creator content and owned social amplify each other, this is the role for you. 

If you're motivated by ideas that matter, sharpened by data, and committed to making the internet more positive, this is the place to do it. Bring your craft and your courage. Together we'll build culture — not just content — and do the best work of our careers. 

We support flexible working and are open to different arrangements. We offer reasonable adjustments throughout the process. 

You'll be one of the people who makes Dove's social presence happen, day in, day out — across two interconnected workstreams that together define how the brand shows up and who tells its story. 

On the social side, you'll manage the daily rhythm of Dove's channels: content calendars, publishing, copy, community management, and performance tracking across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and emerging platforms. On the creator side, you'll identify, recruit, brief, and manage the influencers and content creators whose authentic voices carry Dove's values to audiences the brand couldn't reach alone. 

Dove's relationship with creators is different from most beauty brands. The people who represent Dove need to genuinely reflect the diversity, honesty, and purpose the brand stands for. We're not looking for reach alone — we're looking for trust, authenticity, and real alignment with Dove's commitment to inclusive beauty and self-esteem. That takes someone with strong instincts for people, culture, and platform — and the operational precision to manage a complex, multi-workstream role without losing the detail. 

Success means channels that run smoothly, content that consistently meets brand and platform standards, a community that feels genuinely listened to, a creator network that is thriving and well-managed, and performance data that reflects steady growth in reach, engagement, and brand affinity. 

What you will be doing: 

Content Planning and Publishing 

• Create and manage Dove's social content calendars across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and emerging platforms, ensuring a consistent cadence of planned, campaign, and reactive content — including creator and influencer content — within a single, integrated schedule 
• Schedule and publish content across platforms, ensuring every post meets brand guidelines, platform specifications, and accessibility standards (captions, alt text, format requirements) 
• Write and adapt social copy for each platform, ensuring Dove's tone of voice is consistent, compelling, and native to the channel 
• Coordinate with the creative team and content creators to ensure assets — owned and creator-produced — are delivered on time, correctly formatted, and ready to publish 
• Support the Senior Social Media Manager in planning always-on content, campaign activations, and seasonal or product-launch moments 

Community Management and Engagement 

• Monitor Dove's social channels daily, responding to comments, messages, and mentions in a timely, on-brand, and thoughtful manner 
• Engage proactively with Dove's audience, fostering a sense of community and connection that reflects the brand's values of inclusivity and real beauty 
• Track trending topics, hashtags, cultural moments, and platform features, flagging relevant opportunities to the wider team and, where appropriate, drafting reactive content 
• Identify opportunities to surprise and delight Dove's audience through creative engagement, timely responses, and community-building moments 

Creator Identification and Recruitment 

• Identify, contact, and recruit creators on an ongoing basis, building a diverse community of influencers who authentically represent Dove's brand values and resonate with target audiences across platforms 
• Evaluate potential creator partners based on audience relevance, content quality, engagement authenticity, brand alignment, and representation of diverse beauty 
• Maintain and manage a structured creator database, tracking tiers, content output, performance, and relationship status 

Creator Community Management 

• Develop and manage Dove's creator engagement programme, building genuine, long-term relationships with influencers rather than transactional, campaign-by-campaign partnerships 
• Manage ongoing communication and dialogue with the creator community, ensuring creators feel valued, informed, and connected to Dove's brand purpose 
• Create and distribute regular community communications — newsletters, updates, and exclusive content — that keep creators engaged between activations 
• Organise and support creator events, focus groups, and community moments that deepen relationships and generate insight 
• Ideate and produce creative product mailers and gifting activations that surprise and engage creators in ways that feel personal and on-brand 

Campaign and Creator Activation 

• Brief and manage creators for campaign activations, always-on content, product launches, and cultural moments, ensuring deliverables are on time, on brand, and aligned with platform best practices 
• Develop creative briefs for influencer content that give creators clear direction while leaving room for authentic, platform-native expression 
• Coordinate with the creative and social teams to ensure influencer content is integrated into the broader content calendar and campaign plans 
• Track and record all creator content, ensuring proper usage rights, approvals, and compliance with advertising and disclosure regulations 

Performance Tracking and Reporting 

• Track and report on social channel performance and influencer campaign performance, compiling regular reports on reach, engagement, saves, shares, audience growth, and creator programme impact 
• Use native platform analytics, social management tools, and influencer platforms to monitor content effectiveness, identify trends, and feed learnings back into briefs and strategy 
• Support the Senior Social Media Manager and Data Analyst in building a continuous learning loop between content output, creator performance, and data 

Platform Expertise and Trends 

• Stay current with social platform updates, algorithm changes, new features, and emerging content formats — including creator-led formats — sharing relevant developments with the team 
• Contribute ideas for new content formats, series, engagement approaches, and creator partnership models based on platform evolution and audience behaviour 
• Ensure the studio's content and creator approach reflects the latest platform best practices for organic reach and engagement 

Client Partnership and Collaboration 

• Work closely with the Dove brand team on day-to-day social activity and creator programme updates, keeping stakeholders informed of what's publishing, what's performing, and what's coming next 
• Manage client feedback and approvals within both the publishing and influencer workflows, keeping the process clear and moving efficiently 
• Contribute to briefing processes, helping to translate client briefs and campaign objectives into clear direction for the creative team and creator community 

What you need to be great in this role: 

• A strong background spanning social media management and influencer or creator management, ideally for consumer brands in beauty, personal care, wellness, or FMCG — with hands-on experience across both disciplines rather than one alone 
• Strong platform fluency across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and emerging social channels, including a clear understanding of content formats, algorithms, audience behaviours, and publishing best practices 
• Experience managing social content calendars and publishing workflows across multiple platforms, including the integration of creator content within owned publishing schedules 
• Solid copywriting skills, with the ability to write platform-native social copy that reflects a brand's tone of voice and connects with diverse audiences 
• A proven track record of identifying, recruiting, briefing, and managing influencers and content creators, with experience building ongoing relationships rather than one-off activations 
• Experience developing and managing creator communities or ambassador programmes, including community communications, gifting, and events 
• An understanding of influencer contracts, usage rights, disclosure regulations, and compliance requirements 
• Strong project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple creator relationships, campaigns, publishing workstreams, and competing deadlines without losing attention to detail 
• Experience using social media management tools (such as Sprinklr, Hootsuite, or Sprout Social) and influencer management platforms (such as CreatorIQ, Traackr, Grin, or similar) 
• The ability to track and report on social and influencer performance metrics, with a clear sense of what the numbers mean and how they inform decisions 
• An authentic interest in creator culture, social platforms, and inclusive representation, with experience or a strong interest in working with diverse creators who reflect a broad range of backgrounds, identities, and experiences 
• A collaborative, proactive working style with the confidence to flag opportunities, raise issues, and contribute ideas across the team 
• Professional proficiency in English; additional languages are a plus 

Gen AI and Agentic Thinking: 

• Working proficiency with Gen AI tools (such as ChatGPT, Claude, Copy.ai, Grammarly, Perplexity) to support copy drafting, content ideation, creator research, brief development, trend monitoring, and reporting 
• An agentic approach to your work: ability to self-organise across a busy, multi-workstream role, manage competing priorities, find efficient solutions, and take initiative without waiting to be directed 
• Willingness to experiment with AI tools as part of both the social and influencer workflow, understanding when they add genuine value and when human creativity, cultural nuance, and relationship instinct are what's needed 
• Understanding of AI capabilities and limitations, with a commitment to human judgement in relationship management, creative evaluation, and brand alignment decisions
• Qualifications: Formal degrees are welcome but not required. Equivalent experience counts. Experience can be gained through work, study, volunteering, or self-directed learning.

SLSQ427R275

This is not a role for someone who wants to inherit a playbook. As the Go-to-Market Leader for APAC Retail & Consumer Goods, you will architect and execute a category-defining strategy from the ground up. You'll operate with the mindset of a founder of a hyper-growth enterprise—a rare opportunity that demands entrepreneurial instincts, relentless drive, and the courage to build in ambiguity.

Databricks is scaling at extraordinary speed. Databricks is the market share leader in data + AI in Retail & Consumer Goods, and this vertical represents one of the most significant growth opportunities in our portfolio. We need a leader who thrives in white space, who sees undefined territory not as risk but as canvas. You will shape how APAC’s largest retailers and consumer brands harness Data and AI to transform their operations, unlock new revenue streams, and reimagine customer experiences.

You will report to the Global VP of Consumer Industries, but your impact will extend across the entire organization—influencing product direction, shaping partner ecosystems, and setting the strategic agenda for one of our most consequential markets.

The impact you will have

• A Scalable APAC Growth Engine Design and execute a go-to-market strategy that doesn't yet exist in its final form. You’ll establish C-level relationships with flagship accounts, construct an ecosystem of ISVs, SIs, and alliance partners, and create repeatable motions that accelerate revenue growth across Retail, Consumer Goods, Restaurants, and Wholesale.
• Programmatic Opportunity Capture Identify the highest-value use cases and industry-specific opportunities—demand forecasting, unified customer intelligence, supply chain optimization, real-time pricing—and build scalable programs that systematically convert these opportunities into revenue. You won't pursue targets one at a time; you'll construct the engines, assets, and activation frameworks that allow us to capture entire categories of opportunity across the region simultaneously.
• A Partner Ecosystem from First Principles Identify, cultivate, and scale relationships with the partners who will amplify our reach. This isn't about managing existing relationships—it's about seeing what partnerships should exist and making them real.
• Data-Driven Operational Excellence Use rigorous analysis to surface gaps, inefficiencies, and untapped opportunities within our go-to-market approach. Build the feedback loops and improvement mechanisms that compound our effectiveness over time.
• Sales Plays That Travel Create comprehensive, scalable sales initiatives tailored to APAC’s diverse geographies while contributing frameworks that support Americas and EMEA. You'll work cross-functionally to ensure these plays move from concept to revenue.
• Industry Thought Leadership Establish Databricks as the authoritative voice in Retail & Consumer Goods transformation. Author white papers, command stages at premier industry events, and engage C-suite executives with a point of view that shapes how the market thinks about Data and AI.
• Cross-Functional Influence Serve as a trusted advisor across product, sales, pre-sales, marketing, and partner teams. Your credibility will be earned through results, and your influence will extend far beyond your formal remit.
• Market-Defining Content Collaborate with marketing to develop industry-specific collateral, demand generation campaigns, and event strategies that resonate with sophisticated enterprise buyers.
• Sales Team Acceleration Build enablement content and coaching programs that elevate the entire verticalized sales organization—making others more effective is as important as your direct contributions.

What we look for

• An Industry Insider with Builder DNA You've held senior leadership or practitioner roles in Retail or Consumer Goods. You understand the industry's challenges from the inside—but you're energized by building something new rather than optimizing what exists.
• Entrepreneurial by Nature You've operated in environments where the path wasn't paved. You're comfortable making decisions with incomplete information, moving quickly, and course-correcting based on market feedback. Ambiguity is where you do your best work.
• A GTM Architect You have extensive experience constructing vertical go-to-market programs on technology platforms, working cross-functionally to deliver measurable revenue growth and customer value.
• An Executive Relationship Builder You engage naturally with CXOs and senior business leaders. You create trust through substance, not just polish, and you know how to translate technical capability into strategic business value.
• A Transformation Leader You've led large-scale change initiatives and understand both the technical and human dimensions of enterprise transformation in complex organizations.
• Technically Fluent You possess deep familiarity with the data and AI landscape, retail technology standards, and the broader ecosystem trends reshaping the industry.
• Regulatory Aware You understand key APAC regulatory environments—such as data privacy, payments, sustainability, and sector-specific compliance—and can navigate these considerations in strategic conversations.
• A Program Operator You've managed complex vertical initiatives end-to-end: gathering requirements, coordinating technical teams, driving marketing alignment, and managing partner relationships to hit milestones.
• A Force Multiplier You have proven ability to train and enable sales teams, making the entire organization more effective at positioning solutions to Retail & Consumer Goods customers.
