【What We Offer】

🔥 Environment for Rapid Growth
Gain hands-on experience tackling clients’ real management challenges from an early stage. You’ll even have the opportunity to participate in discussions with executive teams from your first year.

🌍 Opportunities to Work on Global Projects
From cross-border M&A to overseas market entry support, you’ll work on a diverse range of international projects—primarily in Asia, Europe, and the U.S. Depending on your skills and language proficiency, you may have the opportunity to travel overseas for negotiations or assignments, gaining international business experience.

✍️ Hands-On Experience in Both Strategy and Execution
Leveraging our global network, including our own entities and affiliated companies abroad, you’ll conduct research across multiple markets such as Southeast Asia, India, and the U.S. Your goal will be to develop tailored market entry strategies, such as which markets to enter or whether to pursue partnerships or M&A. You’ll be involved not only in these strategy formulation efforts but also in their end-to-end execution, from cross-border M&A to post-merger integration (PMI). This comprehensive involvement offers a unique opportunity to broaden your consulting expertise.

💪 Work Directly with Leading National and Global Clients
Many of our clients are mid- to large-scale companies with revenues ranging from hundreds of billions to over a trillion yen. You’ll have the chance to support the global expansion of leading Japanese corporations across various industries.

👥 Collaborate with a Multinational Team
Our team is composed of numerous members from diverse national backgrounds. As long as you have strong Japanese language skills, you can thrive here regardless of your country of origin.

【Who We're Looking For】

📌 Strong Logical Thinking Skills
We value the ability to identify the root of a problem through numbers and data, and to develop clear, structured solutions.

📌 Advanced Japanese Language Proficiency (N1 or Higher)
As most internal and external communication is conducted in Japanese, confidence in reading, writing, and speaking Japanese is essential.

📌 Aspiration to Build a Global Career
This is the perfect environment for those aiming to work on global business projects such as overseas expansions and cross-border M&A. If you’re looking to launch an international career from a Japan-based role, we encourage you to apply.

🌍【Special Message from JPort】

Why we recommend Yamada Consulting Group to international students interested in consulting and global projects:

▲ At the so-called Big Four consulting firms, the Japan offices and overseas offices typically operate as separate legal entities. Such a structure often makes it challenging for an individual consultant to provide seamless, end-to-end cross-border services.

◎ In contrast, Yamada Consulting Group is headquartered in Japan with overseas offices operating as its local entities within a unified framework. This allows its consultants to be directly and closely involved in global projects.

[Why Join Yamada Consulting Group’s Overseas Business Division?]
🔹 One of the rare new graduate positions where you can work on overseas projects from your very first year
In many consulting firms, new hires start with domestic projects and only transfer to overseas work after several years. Here, you’ll be involved in international projects right from the start.

🔹 Direct recruitment into the overseas business division
Most companies hire new graduates as “generalists,” with assignments decided after joining. This position is specifically for placement in the overseas business division from day one.

🔹 A position where your ambition to “take on challenges overseas” can become reality immediately after joining.
