Trusted by millions of consumers and businesses worldwide. Fresha is used by 140,000+ businesses and 450,000+ stylists and professionals worldwide, processing over 1 billion appointments to date. The company is headquartered in London, United Kingdom, with 15 global offices located across North America, EMEA and APAC. About Fresha Fresha allows consumers to discover, book and pay for beauty and wellness appointments with local businesses via its marketplace, while beauty and wellness businesses and professionals use an all-in-one platform to manage their entire operations with an intuitive business software and financial technology solutions. Fresha's ecosystem gives merchants everything they need to run their business seamlessly by facilitating appointment bookings, point-of-sale, customer records management, marketing automation, loyalty, beauty products inventory and team management. The consumer marketplace unlocks revenue potential for partner businesses by leveraging the power of online bookings and automated marketing through mobile apps and advanced integrations with major tech brands including Instagram, Facebook and Google. Role overview We are hiring Fresha's first senior leader in Japan. This is not a traditional in-country management role overseeing an existing team or operation. This is a build-from-scratch role for a senior operator who can turn market ambition into commercial reality. You will be responsible for launching Fresha in Japan from the ground up: building early traction, winning our first customers, shaping local market strategy, establishing operating foundations, and helping define what success should look like in-market before a wider team is built. In the early phase, this role is highly hands on. A core part of your job will be direct sales execution in the early stages. You will personally open doors, generate pipeline, lead commercial conversations, negotiate, and close Fresha's first wins in Japan. This is not a role where sales can be delegated at the outset. We are looking for a senior leader who is fully comfortable leading from the front and carrying direct revenue responsibility. You will act as Fresha's senior representative in Japan, but success in this role will come from execution, not title. You will need to move comfortably between strategy and action, external commercial leadership and internal company building, market insight and day to day problem solving. For the right person, this is a unique opportunity to build something meaningful at zero to one stage, with the backing of a global business and the ambition to become a top tier player in Japan. Strategy & Planning Develop and execute regional and country level sales strategies to achieve sales targets, drive market share, and meet key performance objectives. Oversee the entire sales cycle, including planning, prospecting, territory planning, sales execution, and pipeline management. Create, refine, and standardise sales processes to improve operational efficiency, sales productivity, and customer satisfaction. Define and lead Fresha's market entry approach for Japan, including early commercial priorities, market positioning, and growth opportunities. Translate local market insight into clear strategic recommendations for global leadership. Identify customer segments, competitive dynamics, and market barriers to inform launch decisions. Shape the short and medium term roadmap for building Fresha's presence in Japan. Establish clear priorities, success metrics, and execution plans for the early phase of market entry. Help define what the Japan business should look like as it moves from launch to scale. Business Development Establish and nurture relationships with key stakeholders, including beauty and wellness businesses, industry associations, and influencers. Drive customer acquisition and retention efforts through targeted sales and marketing initiatives. Oversee partnerships and collaborations that enhance Fresha's market position and value proposition. Personally drive Fresha's early commercial traction in Japan through direct business development and sales execution. Build pipeline from scratch by identifying, approaching, and engaging prospective customers and partners. Lead commercial conversations, negotiate effectively, and close Fresha's first customer wins in-market. Develop strong local relationships that build credibility and accelerate market entry. Test and refine Fresha's value proposition based on real customer feedback and buying behaviour. Create the foundation for a scalable commercial engine before a wider local team is built. Team Leadership Act as Fresha's senior leader and representative in Japan from day one. Lead by example in a hands on, high accountability environment where execution comes before scale. Build the case for future hiring by creating early traction and operational foundations. Partner closely with global cross functional teams to align Japan market needs with broader business priorities. Contribute to defining the structure, capabilities, and timing of the future Japan team. Foster a high performance culture centred on ownership, adaptability, and commercial results. Build, manage, and mentor a high performing local team, fostering a culture of excellence and accountability. Set clear performance objectives and provide regular feedback and development opportunities. Ensure alignment of the team's efforts with Fresha's global goals and values. Operational Management Oversee day to day operations to ensure efficiency, quality, and customer satisfaction. Implement and monitor KPIs to track performance and drive continuous improvement. Manage budgets, forecasts, and financial performance to meet targets. Build the initial operating foundations required to establish and grow Fresha's presence in Japan. Create practical processes, local workflows, and execution rhythms that support early market traction. Coordinate across internal stakeholders to ensure effective launch execution and local market responsiveness. Identify operational risks, gaps, and dependencies, and solve them with pace and pragmatism. Ensure day to day market development activity is well organised, commercially focused, and scalable over time. Help shape the local operating model as the business moves from initial launch to broader expansion. Customer Focus Champion the voice of the customer, ensuring their needs and feedback are central to decision making processes. Enhance the customer experience through innovative solutions and exceptional service delivery. Use direct market feedback to inform positioning, product priorities, and go to market decisions. Establish strong trust with early customers through a high quality, locally credible approach. Ensure Fresha's early presence in Japan reflects the standards expected in a highly competitive market. Turn customer insight into practical action that improves adoption, retention, and long term market fit. What we are looking for We're searching for an ambitious, commercially savvy leader who thrives in a fast growing, high performance environment. The ideal candidate will have: 5+ years of commercial leadership experience, preferably in a SaaS, online marketplace, fintech, or payments company. A proven track record of driving revenue growth, scaling teams, and delivering against ambitious KPIs. Experience managing sales, business development, and account management teams in a dynamic, high growth business. Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret data driven insights and translate them into actionable strategies. A passion for building and developing high performing teams, with a hands on leadership approach. Exceptional stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence across all levels of the business. A strategic and entrepreneurial mindset, with the ability to identify new opportunities and execute innovative growth strategies. A deep understanding of the Japanese market, ideally with experience in the beauty, wellness, or tech sectors. Languages-Fluent in English and ideally Japanese too.

We're always keen to welcome talented individuals to join our expanding team. So if you're driven, with a passion for developing simple software solutions, creating great user experiences, designing scalable solutions for real business challenges and ensuring customer happiness then we're looking for you! IS THIS SOMETHING THAT INTERESTS YOU? Foods Connected has built a mature, functionality-rich platform over the last 10 years, used by some of the largest food retail and food manufacturing companies in the world. We are a PE-backed company operating across the UK, Australia, and North America, and engineering sits at the centre of our growth strategy. Our engineering organisation is evolving. We are moving toward smaller, more autonomous engineering teams with greater ownership of outcomes, supported by AI-augmented development practices and modern tooling. This transition is underway but not complete, and the Director of Engineering will play a central role in making it real. The Director of Engineering is a senior leadership role that sits between the CTO and the engineering teams. The CTO remains accountable for overall technology vision and alignment with product and commercial strategy. The Director of Engineering is accountable for translating that vision into consistent execution, scalable systems, and high-performing teams. You will partner closely with the CTO on technical strategy and organisational direction, and work downward through senior Technical Leads and the Engineering Manager to ensure teams are delivering with quality, pace, and genuine ownership. You will have organisational oversight of an engineering department of 50+ people spanning Graduate to Principal level. This role owns the operational rhythm of engineering, technical standards and consistency, and the day-to-day engineering leadership that enables the CTO to focus on innovation, product direction, and commercial strategy. You will have decision-making authority over engineering practices, team structure, and technical standards, and will be expected to make calls and own the outcomes. As a member of the Engineering Division Leadership Team, you will collaborate with the Director of Data and the Director of Infrastructure and Security to ensure cohesive execution across the technology organisation. This is a PE-backed environment where engineering decisions carry commercial weight. The platform carries technical debt alongside production systems that enterprise customers depend on daily. There is an ongoing modernisation effort, legacy components that require pragmatic decisions, and teams adapting to a new operating model with greater autonomy and AI-augmented practices. You will need to balance architecture evolution with feature delivery, bring people through change, and represent engineering reality clearly when timelines, cost, and risk come under pressure. RESPONSIBILITIES: Strategic Leadership and Engineering Evolution (35%) Partner with the CTO to define and execute long-term engineering strategy aligned with company objectives and the product roadmap. Act as a core member of the Engineering Division Leadership Team alongside the Director of Data and Director of Infrastructure and Security.

Shape how engineering teams are structured and operate, moving toward greater autonomy and ownership while maintaining alignment and shared standards. Build strong working relationships with Product, Customer Success, and other cross-functional leaders. Own engineering talent strategy including recruitment, retention, succession planning, and career development. Represent engineering in executive forums and board-level discussions, providing clear and honest visibility into progress, risks, and trade-offs. Communicate engineering strategy, priorities, and constraints clearly across senior leadership and delivery teams. Technical Direction and Architecture (30%) Own the execution of the technical direction for the platform, ensuring architectural decisions support scalability, reliability, and long-term maintainability. Work with the CTO to ensure technical direction remains aligned with product and commercial strategy. Drive pragmatic decisions on modernisation, refactoring, and legacy investment, balancing risk, cost, and customer impact. Own and enforce technical standards across teams, ensuring consistency without unnecessary centralisation. Work closely with senior Technical Leads to ensure high-quality, consistent architectural and design decisions. Lead or sponsor critical technical design reviews and guide teams through complex engineering challenges. Define expectations for AI-augmented development, including tooling standards, acceptable use, and how quality and productivity gains are measured. Stay current with relevant emerging technologies and evaluate their practical application to Foods Connected's platforms. Be technically credible by engaging meaningfully in architectural discussions and challenging proposals where needed, without being a day-to-day code contributor. Enabling Delivery and Operational Excellence (35%) Work through the Engineering Manager and senior Technical Leads to ensure teams have the clarity, support, and tooling required to deliver effectively. Own the operational rhythm of engineering, including planning cadence, delivery coordination, and cross-team alignment. Set clear expectations for delivery quality and pace while supporting teams as they build greater autonomy. Drive process improvements that reduce friction and overhead rather than adding bureaucracy. Balance concurrent priorities across feature delivery, platform evolution, and technical debt reduction. Act as the senior escalation point for delivery, quality, and technical risk issues Coordinate closely with the Director of Data and Director of Infrastructure and Security to ensure integrated execution across the Engineering Division. Manage stakeholder and customer expectations regarding technical capabilities, timelines, and trade-offs.
