Director | Life Sciences | Japan

About the job

We’re supporting a well-established, globally recognised life sciences recruitment specialist. The business combines the credibility, systems and reach of a global organisation with the pace and autonomy of a specialist agency.

Japan is a strategic growth market and the platform is already in place: a strong portfolio of multinational life sciences clients, a mature and high-quality candidate database, and seamless collaboration across international offices. This creates a genuine opportunity for an experienced recruiter to step into an established operation and make it their own.

The Opportunity
This role suits a senior 360 consultant or country-level leader ready to take ownership of the Japan business. You’ll lead market strategy, manage the agency licence, grow key client relationships and build a high-performing team while representing a trusted global brand in a highly lucrative market.

Why This Stands Out

• Real autonomy with full P&L and leadership responsibility
• Global infrastructure, compliance and brand credibility
• Premium recruitment tools, shared candidates and cross-border revenue
• Strong regional leadership support, without micromanagement

Who It’s For
An experienced life sciences recruiter who operates with a business-owner mindset, values independence, and wants the backing of a global healthcare recruitment platform to scale something meaningful in Japan.
