Position Summary & Responsibilities
🚀 Why Headout?
We’re a rocketship: 9-figure revenue, record growth, and profitable
With $200M+ in revenue, guests in 700+ cities, and 18 months of profitability, Headout is the fastest-growing marketplace in the travel industry, and we’re just getting started. We've raised $60M+ from top-tier investors and are building a durable company for the long term — because that's what our mission needs and deserves. We’re growing, profitable and nowhere near done.
What we do is important
In an increasingly digital world, there is a desperate need to augment our human experience by getting us to interact with the real world around us and the people in it. At Headout, our mission is to be the easiest, fastest, and most delightful way to head out to a real-life experience — from immersive tours to museums to live events and everything in between.
Why now?
The foundation is strong. The opportunity ahead is even bigger. We’ve hit profitability, built momentum, and proven the model — but there’s so much more to build. If you’re looking to join a company where the trajectory is steep and your impact is real, this is the moment.
Our culture
Reinventing the travel industry isn't easy, but that's the fun part.
We care deeply about ownership, craft, and impact, and we’re here to do the best work of our careers. We won’t pretend like it’s for everyone but if you’re a builder who loves solving tough problems, you’ll feel right at home.
👩💻The role
We are looking for a Key Account Manager, Japan to join our APAC Business team. Reporting to the Head of Business Development, Japan, you'll own the end-to-end growth of one of the world's most exciting travel markets.
This is far more than a sales role. You'll identify new opportunities through market research, launch new experiences and cities, build deep partnerships with Japan's leading attraction and experience providers, and work cross-functionally with Growth, Marketing, Product, and Operations teams to maximize bookings and unlock long-term revenue potential. As the face of Headout in Japan, you'll combine local market expertise with the scale of a global marketplace, helping shape how millions of travelers discover experiences across the country.
This role is based in Tokyo, with the flexibility to work remotely
