Company Description
M-out is a Tokyo-based startup factory that has launched over 50 businesses and achieved 10 successful exits since 2002. Operating on a "market-out" philosophy, the firm creates high-growth ventures based on real market needs rather than technology alone, now expanding its entrepreneurial engine into the UK and European markets.
Job Description
As the first London-based hire for M-out, you will spearhead our European expansion by scouting and evaluating new business opportunities across the UK and EU. You will operate with high autonomy, conducting market research, meeting potential partners, and reporting directly to Tokyo HQ to shape our international growth strategy from the ground up.
Location
London, UK
Why this role is remarkable
- Greenfield Autonomy: Be the first person on the ground in London, with the unique freedom to identify and shape M-out’s expansion strategy across the UK and European markets.
- Proven Venture Engine: Join a "startup factory" with a 20-year track record of launching 50+ businesses and securing 10 successful exits, providing a stable yet entrepreneurial environment.
- Direct Influence: Work with high levels of independence while maintaining a direct line of communication to leadership at the Tokyo headquarters, influencing the company’s global direction.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What You Will Do
- Identify and evaluate high-potential business opportunities and market gaps within the UK and European landscape through rigorous research and networking.
- Build and maintain strategic relationships with potential partners, industry experts, and stakeholders to facilitate new market entry and business development.
- Produce detailed market reports and strategic recommendations for the Tokyo HQ, bridging the gap between local market insights and corporate investment goals.
The ideal candidate
- Professional fluency in both Japanese and English is essential for frequent communication with Tokyo HQ and effective networking within the European market.
- Proven experience in business development or entrepreneurship, demonstrating the ability to navigate ambiguity and operate independently without a local office structure.
- A strong background or familiarity with the advertising, media, or marketing services sectors, coupled with the drive to build something from scratch.

We never post fake jobs
This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.
We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.
Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
