Our client is a global fashion brand with a strong presence in Japan and across the wider region. Known for its modern, design-led product offering, the business operates in a fast-paced, consumer-facing environment where commercial awareness, responsiveness and attention to detail are highly valued.
The culture is collaborative, international and hands-on, with finance playing a key role in supporting day-to-day business performance as well as broader regional decision-making. This interim assignment offers the opportunity to join a respected brand during a transition period, contributing directly to business continuity and working closely with stakeholders across functions. The role is based in Tokyo on a hybrid basis, within a small, focused team environment.
The Finance & Accounting Manager will support the business through an interim period, ensuring continuity across core accounting and finance activities.
