Business Development Manager

Business Development Manager | Optical Quantum Computing | Venture-Backed Deep Tech | ¥10M > ¥20M

Aerospace giants like Rolls-Royce, rely on supercomputers to calculate millions of variables in minutes, or pharma leaders like Pfizer and Roche using advanced computing to model complex molecular structures for faster drug discovery.

In finance, institutions like JPMorgan Chase explore quantum algorithms for portfolio optimization and risk analysis. These massive calculations take endless compute hours, millions in capital, and massive manpower.

That is where you come in

Born from breakthrough research, our client is an optical quantum computing innovator bringing next-generation deep tech into the commercial market. Having already delivered hardware to a major research institute in under two years, they need a Business Development Manager to spearhead commercial growth across Japan and global markets.

Your Role

• Shape Markets & Use Cases: Identify key enterprise challenges across Financial Services, Pharmaceuticals, Chemicals, AI, and Advanced Tech that conventional computing can't solve, translating them into quantum solutions.

• Drive Commercialization: Build high-level relationships across corporations, universities, and R&D hubs, taking leads from initial contact through to partnerships, demonstrations, and deals.

• Guide the Technology: Act as the strategic link between client needs and internal R&D to influence the future product roadmap.

Backing & Momentum

• Major Financial Support: Backed by ¥14.6 Billion JPY in total funding, including ¥2.15B in equity rounds and over ¥12.5B in major government grants from NEDO, Moonshot Goal 6, BRIDGE, and SusHi Tech Tokyo.

• Tier-1 Media Profile: Regularly featured on major media outlets including TV Tokyo's WBS (World Business Satellite) and Breakthrough.

Why Apply? If you want to shape a deep-tech market before it’s fully formed rather than just sell another established SaaS product, this is your seat at the table.
