OtherSales Lead

As a playing manager, this role combines hands-on sales execution with leadership responsibilities to support the Indo-Pacific Sales Manager. Covering markets outside Japan within the Indo-Pacific region, you will be part of a team pioneering a new category of space services—from lunar transportation to data licensing, lunar communications, and other frontier solutions. Operating in a cislunar economy that is only beginning to emerge, this role places you at the center of a true zero-to-one challenge: building a market before it exists, validating early demand, shaping customer needs, and helping define how value will be created in space. You will navigate ambiguity, iterate quickly with cross-functional teams, and drive initiatives that directly influence the future architecture of the lunar economy.
