О компании

In partnership with Sony and SBI , two of Japan's largest companies, we are building the infrastructure to bring the world onchain. Our product surface spans Soneium (an Ethereum L2 co-developed with Sony), App (a consumer super-app and gateway to the onchain economy), USD and JPYSC (a fully backed USD and Yen stablecoin), and Strium (a next-generation tokenized exchange). We are ~70 people, distributed across the world, including Tokyo, Singapore, and New York.

We don't expect every box ticked. If you're slightly short on the list below but bring a strong winning mindset and a real track record, we want to hear from you. Web3/crypto experience is not required.
Based in Japan and eligible to work in Japan.
Native-level Japanese.
Business-level or above English.
A startup mindset — you take ownership, move fast, and are comfortable with ambiguity and a wide scope.
A proven marketing track record with real, demonstrable results.

Location: Tokyo, Japan (must be based in Japan)
Reports to: Head of Marketing & Growth
We are looking for a Marketing Lead who owns two things at once: global product marketing across the full product stack, and leadership of the Japan market .
On the product side, the scope is wide by design — consumer growth for App, ecosystem marketing for Soneium, stablecoin adoption for USDSC/JPYSC, and go-to-market for Strium — for a global user base. You move seamlessly between campaigns for global users and targeted strategies for crypto-native audiences, keeping a cohesive product narrative across segments, ecosystems, and competitive landscapes.
On the Japan side, you are the decision-maker for how lands and grows in its home market. You build 's brand in Japan for two audiences — businesses (ToB) and the individual investors who use financial products inside App — and you build and steward relationships with Japanese media and key stakeholders.
You also operate at the intersection of marketing, regulation, and product: you understand the regulatory environment well enough to work directly with Legal, and you translate what that means into clear guidance for the Product team and into marketing the market can trust.
You thrive in a highly cross-functional environment, working closely with Product, BD, and ecosystem partners to take initiatives from concept to launch. You start as an individual contributor and build a Japan marketing team over time as the work scales. This role reports to the Head of Marketing & Growth.
Own product marketing across all four products for a global user base: positioning, messaging, launches, campaigns, and growth. Coordinate integrated campaigns across product lines and stakeholder groups, and switch fluently between consumer, developer, enterprise, and institutional messaging.
Partner with Product to plan and execute campaigns, product launches, seasonal events, and retention initiatives. Drive user acquisition across organic, community, and paid channels, and translate onchain behaviors into growth insights and product feedback.
Position Soneium within the competitive L2 landscape. Lead co-marketing with partners, developers, and builders through launches, content, campaigns, events, and community programs.
Support the go-to-market strategy for our stablecoins across consumer and institutional audiences. Shape the narrative around adoption, yield, transparency, and institutional infrastructure.
Partner with Product and BD on positioning, messaging, and launch strategy. Contribute to market research, audience segmentation, content, and campaigns targeting institutional users and trading partners.
Own how every product lands and grows in Japan, and make the calls on Japan positioning, priorities, and go-to-market. Represent the Japan market's needs inside a global company.
Build 's brand in Japan for business partners (ToB) and for the individual investors using financial products within App. Develop a coherent, trusted narrative across audiences and products.
Build and maintain relationships with Japanese media and key stakeholders. Own earned media, manage PR agencies, and drive announcements, launches, and the company's public presence in Japan.
Stay close to the Japanese regulatory environment for crypto, stablecoins, and financial products. Work with Legal, and translate regulatory realities into actionable guidance for the Product team and into compliant, credible marketing.
Own the content calendar and write across formats — from product and partnership announcements to long-form and social. Measure campaign performance, growth, engagement, and onchain metrics, and iterate based on data.
