As Glance scales in Japan, we're looking for a Senior Market Product Manager to be the voice of the Japanese consumer inside our product organisation. You'll own parts of the Japan product roadmap — shaping what we build, how we localise it, and how we launch it across our Mobile and connected-TV surfaces. You'll also set the experience bar for Japan, overseeing and commissioning the UX research and design that keep our product grounded in real user needs. This role blends deep consumer empathy with sharp execution, working closely with global product, design, and engineering in Bangalore while owning the market perspective in Tokyo.

What will you be doing?

Own parts of the Japan product roadmap — defining priorities, shaping requirements, and making sure what we build fits the local market
Be the voice of the Japanese consumer: bring deep user empathy and turn local insight into clear product direction
Lead product launches in Japan end to end, coordinating across global product, engineering, design, growth, and partnerships
Set the experience bar for Japan — overseeing design quality and commissioning UX research (via HQ teams or local partners) to validate key decisions
Localise and adapt the global product for Japan, from features and content to flows that match local expectations and behaviours
Use research, data, and market signals to prioritise, measure launch impact, and iterate

Key Requirements:

Around 7–10 years in product management, with a track record of owning roadmap and shipping consumer products
Deep consumer empathy and a strong intuition for what makes a product resonate with users — ideally proven in the Japan market
Experience leading product launches end to end in a cross-functional environment
A user-centric approach: able to scope research questions, interpret findings, and hold a high bar for design quality, while partnering with researchers and designers to execute
Experience influencing senior internal and external stakeholders

Preferred Requirements:

Experience as a market or regional PM localising a global product for Japan
Background in mobile consumer apps at scale, ideally with a commerce or content component
Familiarity with UX research methods and working alongside design and research teams
Comfort operating as the local market owner while collaborating with a distributed HQ team

Why Glance AI

Ownership. You will not be confined to one category or one type of partner. You operate where you can also build a portfolio that is genuinely yours.
Structural backing without big-company friction. Glance is part of InMobi Group with proven scale (Glance reaches 400M+ monthly users globally) and infrastructure already built, but JP operates as a startup with founding-team on strategy and deals. Backed by strong global investors including SoftBank and Google, with SoftBank as anchor partner in Japan
A first-team seat in Japan. The JP strategy is being written now. The partner playbook and deal architecture that will be replicated across other markets such as Korea, Germany, UK, Australia in the future.
Real category creation, not incremental work. Work on genuinely new, AI-first agentic commerce — built from the ground up, not an improvement on today's shopping
Culture. Work with smart, humble people who value openness, trust, and honest collaboration
Competitive salary and benefits: Benchmarked against roles at comparable global tech in Tokyo, meaningful equity grant, annual performance bonus tied to outcomes, plus full health, retirement, and standard Japan-market benefits.
