Japanese Global Consumer Goods Company, FP&A

”After graduating from university in Japan, I worked for a major Japanese company for five years. I was relocated to an Australian subsidiary and lived in Australia for 10 years before being transferred to a different department back in Japan. I wanted to continue building my career in FP&A so I hoped to change jobs, but I felt a lot of uncertainty as it was my first job change, I had to return from overseas, and I also needed support from my family.

Thanks to the consultants at Robert Walters who helped me resolve my concerns one by one and even negotiated with the company to arrange housing in Japan, I was able to start fresh at a new company.”

Global Bio-Start Up Company, Field Researcher

"After completing my degree in the US, I joined a medical research institute as an intern before becoming a full-time researcher. Over two years, I published several papers and gained valuable experience. I then wanted to apply my expertise in a corporate setting and looked for opportunities in both Japan and the US, but struggled to find a company that matched my research interests.

Through their global network, Robert Walters quickly connected me with exclusive opportunities. With their help, I landed an exciting role as one of the first team members at the Japanese office of an international company - exactly the field I'd hoped to work in.”
