Automotive / International Environment / Hybrid / Japanese Native Speaker

A Japanese automotive-related company in Ginsheim-Gustavsburg is currently recruiting a Sales & Marketing Coordinator to support its European sales and marketing operations.

Despite being part of the Sales & Marketing team, this is not a traditional sales position. There is no cold calling, new business development, or individual revenue responsibility. The role focuses on sales support, customer and distributor communication, reporting, market analysis, and coordination across European markets.

The ideal candidate should be a native Japanese speaker with fluent English and German language skills at B2 level or above, alongside experience working in a B2B environment with regular customer or business partner contact. Automotive experience is advantageous, while strong communication skills, flexibility, and an interest in working in an international environment would be highly valued.
