Lead new business acquisition activities for automotive OEM customers.
Analyze and consolidate customer RFQs, RFIs, technical requirements, and commercial requirements, and drive proposal activities toward business award.
Collaborate with Sales, Engineering, Quality, Manufacturing, Purchasing, Finance, and other stakeholders to develop the optimal customer proposal.
Evaluate profitability, cost, technical feasibility, and quality risks, and define the business acquisition strategy.
Lead quotation development, pricing strategy, business case preparation, and internal approval processes.
Work closely with global business units and international locations to develop competitive solutions for Japanese customers.
Drive all activities from the pre-award phase through nomination and ensure a smooth handover to the project execution team after award.
Background
The automotive industry is undergoing significant transformation driven by electrification, automated driving, and advanced safety technologies.
In sensor-related businesses, customer requirements, technical specifications, cost targets, quality expectations, delivery schedules, and regulatory compliance requirements are becoming increasingly complex.
To accelerate business growth, we are seeking a professional who can strategically drive new business acquisition activities.
The successful candidate will be expected to strengthen acquisition efforts by balancing customer value, profitability, technical competitiveness, and execution feasibility.

Exposure to the entire business acquisition process, including RFQ management, quotation preparation, pricing strategy, business evaluation, internal approvals, customer proposals, and global collaboration.
Gain a comprehensive view of the business by working across multiple functions.
Frequent collaboration with global teams provides opportunities to strengthen practical English communication, negotiation, and project leadership skills.
The role offers a unique opportunity to shape business direction from the pre-award stage and design the pathway to future growth.
Current Challenges and Expected Role
As customer requirements become more sophisticated, there is an increasing need to quickly structure complex technical and commercial challenges and support effective decision-making.
Due to the large number of stakeholders and global sites involved, improving information management, clarifying key issues, and increasing decision-making speed are critical challenges.
The position requires strong leadership to align internal and external stakeholders and drive opportunities through to business award.

Team Culture
A professional environment that values customer focus and business-oriented thinking.
Encourages open discussion to drive optimal decision-making.

Ability to support customer interactions and internal coordination in Japanese.
Self-driven mindset with the ability to structure complex issues and proactively drive actions forward in uncertain environments.
Preferred Experience and Skills
