For upcoming First-Time Managers briefs, we are looking for a strong Contract Training Facilitator who can engage professional audiences linked to Tokyo and surrounding markets.

Opportunity Overview

An upcoming client brief requires a capable facilitator who can lead First-Time Managers learning engagements for people managers, supervisors, and team leads across Asia. Success in the role depends on practical facilitation, business relevance, and the ability to help clients build stronger people managers and more effective team leadership.

The assignment requires a trainer who can structure material clearly, manage professional audiences confidently, and adapt delivery to different sectors, teams, and levels of experience.

Key Areas of Responsibility

• Support participants with examples, clarifications, and implementation guidance that reduce the gap between theory and day-to-day application.
• Refine materials where needed so the programme remains current, usable, and appropriate for the target audience.
• Adapt delivery to the client brief, participant seniority, and the sector context without losing clarity or pace.
• Keep the learning intervention aligned with business priorities, not just topic coverage, so the work delivers visible value to the client.
• Use practical case studies, scenarios, tools, or workflows to make First-Time Managers content easier to apply after the session.

Preferred Background

• Availability for project-based work linked to Tokyo, Japan, and wider Asia where relevant.
• Good judgement around pacing, audience engagement, and the balance between technical depth and usability.
• Comfort operating in Hybrid settings and handling the logistical realities of live corporate delivery.
• A professional background that supports credibility with enterprise, multinational, or client-facing training audiences.
• Strong communication and facilitation skills, including the ability to explain complex material in a clear and applied way.

Relevant practitioner-level experience in First-Time Managers; strong facilitation and stakeholder communication; credible management experience, facilitation maturity, and strong behavioural coaching capability; able to structure sessions that balance concept, discussion, and application.

Preferred candidates will bring exposure to people management, manager capability, team leadership, or change leadership, along with experience working with managers, professional learners, or client-facing business teams.
