Associate Director – Japan

About EBC

Ethos BeathChapman (EBC) is a global group of executive search experts in Australia, Asia and EMEA, with a broader network beyond. We connect exceptional people to exceptional companies. In Asia, our multidisciplinary expertise covers specialised functions across Banking & Financial Services, Accounting & Finance, Technology, Legal & Compliance, Insurance, Industrial, Life Science, Supply Chain and Procurement, Consumer & Healthcare recruitment markets, among others. Part of Will, EBC has ten offices worldwide in Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, China, Philippines, Netherlands and the UK.

Overview:

As an Associate Director, you will be in an exceptional role unlike elsewhere: one which truly aims and is designed to take already very strong performers to the next level of exceptional performance. Embark on your strategic journey to build, grow or manage a team and/or hold a significant role in the highly adept market management of your remit for EBC. Work closely alongside extremely talented and experienced business leaders in EBC, as well as hold a key gateway and relationship with our sister companies like Chapman Consulting Group (CCG) and international affiliations/lead networks.

You will hold responsibility to tailor outcomes and shape strategy for yourself, team and EBC as a business with your regional clients. Use your passion for innovation to work intently with internal stakeholders and our Enablement function (talent engagement, marketing, data, research, client directors, training and development) that sets EBC uniquely apart to take already strong performers to exceptional performance levels whilst plunging yourself into our progressive ways of working, mastering our AI technology and state-of-the-art cloud-based CRM platform.

At Associate Director level, EBC engages with you increasingly about rounding your ability to make big impact at macro levels and top performing attributes – whether leadership abilities, account management, proposing innovative solutions to clients (across retained, SoW, projects, contracting), use of internal technology or revenue performance. You will be groomed and challenged towards full Directorship and be expected to make contributions a little more broadly around the business, helping impact EBC at large.

Experience and Qualifications:

We are looking for an experienced, successful and entrepreneurial-minded executive recruiter who is well-regarded for the deep knowledge of your specialised recruitment domain, outstanding work ethics, collaborative nature and exceptional client delivery.

You demonstrate emerging leadership qualities and superior fee generation abilities, speak knowledgably and passionately about your specialised recruitment market and most importantly, the opportunities and key current day levers therein.

The ideal candidate should have at least 6 to 10 years of recruitment experience in a fast-paced recruitment environment. Candidates with prior experience from recruitment agencies, in-house or RPO teams will be preferred.

​​

Our Culture:

A career with EBC revolves on several key principles. Firstly, joining a mature, high performing group of experts requires people with a strong strategic, highly focussed and collaborative approach both internally and across all clients and candidates. Secondly, our commitment to new ways of working and enablement, data-driven decision-making and AI technology is not just held by upper management but is lived and breathed throughout the organisation. We aim for all new joiners to hold good passion and commitment to innovate, share new ideas and work in forward thinking ways like these. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, we are a boutique who values internal relationships as much as external. Being persistent in delivering a world-class service and interactions across colleagues, clients and candidates alike is paramount.

Throughout your journey, we are committed to your success. On hand you will always have the high powered and finessed support – not just from the experienced mentors on your team doorstep, but also the supporting technology, our lead network and our best-in class enablement support function.
