General Manager, Japan
About this role
Company Overview
Imagine a piloted air taxi that takes off vertically, then quietly carries you and your fellow passengers over the congested city streets below, enabling you to spend more time with the people and places that matter most. At Joby, we've been working to make that dream a reality since 2009 and we're now in the final stages of certifying our aircraft with the FAA. With plans to launch our aircraft in the US and Dubai, we're now scaling manufacturing and preparing for the launch of our commercial service.
Overview
Joby Aviation is seeking an experienced and entrepreneurial leader to serve as the General Manager (GM) for Japan. As the leader of Jobyâs operational footprint in the region, you will report to the President of Operations to build the business from the ground up. You will be responsible for establishing foundational relationships, designing a localized operating model, and executing a multi-year strategy to launch a safe, compliant, and scalable aerial ridesharing service alongside our joint venture (JV) partners.
Â
Working closely with Jobyâs senior leadership and U.S. headquarters teams, you will drive government and municipal engagement, develop strategic partnerships, support deal execution, and lead operational execution. As the face of Joby in Japan, you will elevate brand awareness with stakeholders and media, translate complex market insights into decisive action, and provide critical performance updates to executive leadership and the Board of Directors.
