Kid Developer Inc. • Teilzeit

Jun 2024 - Present • 2 yrs 5 mos

After obtaining my Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) certification, I led a project to transform five traditional nursery schools into Montessori-style environments. To gain the understanding of approximately 80 childcare staff and part-time workers, I carefully listened to their concerns and questions, thoroughly managed vendor coordination and budget control. Through close collaboration with all stakeholders, I successfully transformed all five schools within budget over the course of one year as planned.

Sales Manager

Menard • Freiberufler

Sep 2019 - Sep 2022 • 3 yrs

For three years, I worked in cosmetics demonstration sales and business development, where I practiced an approach of identifying customer needs through conversations and providing solutions with empathy. I set clear goals and worked with speed through reverse planning, while also utilizing social media for customer acquisition. I was also responsible for training team members under my supervision, conducting regular check-ins and providing sales coaching. As a result, I acquired 30 regular customers within three months and achieved sales of 4.5 million yen (approximately $30,000 USD) in six months.

Central Sales | Project Management

Bosch Global • Vollzeit

Mar 2015 - Mar 2019 • 4 yrs

As a fresh graduate, I was assigned to the Strategic Planning Office, where I handled sales performance analysis, prepared materials for executives, and coordinated among 8 different departments. During this time, I was given the opportunity to independently plan and execute a large-scale event in Germany with 75 participants, including the president and executives of our OEM client. Over six months of project management, I directed vehicle transportation and venue preparations while maintaining rigorous progress tracking and risk management. On the event day, I successfully hosted the president of Bosch (a global company with approximately 400,000 employees worldwide) and executed the event flawlessly. The client remarked that they thought I was "a Germany resident familiar with the country," and I was subsequently nominated for the Jr. Management Program—a distinction awarded to only a few employees out of 30,000 in Japan.
