Okaya (USA), Inc. (http://www.okayausa.com), the US subsidiary of Okaya Kouki (http://www.okaya.co.jp/en/index.html), one of Japan’s oldest trading companies is currently looking for candidates to fill either a Sales Representative and Sales Assistant role at our Raleigh-Durham (NC) branch.

As you will be working daily with a large number of Japanese customers and coworkers, Candidates with medium to high Japanese proficiency are preferred (JLPT N1/2/3 or equivalent).

While experience working for or with Japanese companies is a plus, Okaya has previously hired JETs upon return to the US and currently employs 3 former JETs (including myself). Any familiarity to with the Japanese automotive industry, logistics, or accounting is a huge plus. While inside sales positions are available, outside sales representatives will be expected to travel significantly in their local area, supplying sourcing and logistical support for projects in the automotive field as well as other industries.

After resume submission and initial contact, interviews will be available at the North Carolina office, but could be arranged at any of our other offices or via Skype as well. Relocation support will be provided for successful candidates if needed.

Compensation will be based on experience and competitive within the industry. Full benefits are included as part of the standard compensation package for all full-time employees.

Please feel free to direct any questions or resume submissions to my work email account: (abahrami@okaya-usa.com) After review, you can be expect to be contacted by HR staff from our headquarters or managers at the local branches. Before submission I will be glad to answer any questions you may have about our company and my experiences here as a fellow JET. During your HR interview you can expect to field some basic questions about Incoterms and trade related topics, so as a personal tip I recommend reading up on them a little bit beforehand.
