About the Role:

Glean is seeking a Content Marketing Manager, Japan to build our Japanese content marketing engine. Reporting to the Head of Japan Field Marketing, you will create and localize credible content for Japanese enterprise buyers, then work with Sales, partners, and marketing teams to ensure it reaches the right audiences and contributes to demand and pipeline.

This is an individual contributor role. “Manager” reflects ownership of the content marketing function and does not currently include people-management responsibilities.

You will:

• Own Japan’s content priorities and editorial calendar based on local buyer needs and business goals.
• Improve priority Japanese website pages and lead localization and editorial quality for global content.
• Create Japan-native content such as customer stories, blog articles, solution guides, white papers, e-books, and video scripts.
• Build practical SEO and AIO/GEO programs that improve discovery, engagement, and conversion.
• Develop Japanese customer references and proof points with customers, Sales, Customer Success, Communications, and Legal.
• Partner with Sales and Field Marketing to identify content gaps in priority accounts and active opportunities, and develop sales-ready assets that help buyers take the next step.
• Plan how major content will be distributed and activated across digital, events, partners, nurture, and Sales channels.
• Collaborate with Glean partners to review deliverables and co-create content that is relevant to shared customers and campaigns.
• Manage agencies and freelancers while maintaining ownership of messaging, product accuracy, and final quality.
• Measure content performance and use the results to improve engagement, lead generation, Sales usage, and pipeline influence.

About you:

• You are a native-level Japanese writer and editor with professional English communication skills.
• You have 7+ years of B2B content marketing experience, ideally in enterprise technology, SaaS, cloud, data, cybersecurity, or AI.
• You have owned content beyond production, including distribution, activation, and performance measurement.
• You understand Japanese enterprise buyers and can explain complex technology in clear, credible business language.
• You have experience with website content, SEO, analytics, customer stories, and demand-generation assets.
• You can work hands-on while managing multiple projects, agencies, and stakeholders in a fast-moving environment.
• You are an effective cross-functional partner who can work with local, regional, global, and external partner teams.
• You use AI tools thoughtfully to improve research, creation, repurposing, and analysis while maintaining strong editorial standards.

Location:

• This role is remote and must be based in Tokyo, Japan.
