Mukmin Faris

Specialist Area

I specialize in supporting Sales professionals within the technology sector in Japan, with a focus on SaaS, Cloud, Cybersecurity, and AI-driven solutions. I work closely with both Japanese and multinational organizations, supporting searches from mid-level to senior individual contributor and leadership roles, particularly in customer-facing and revenue-generating functions.

My Advice

Career transitions can feel uncertain—especially in a complex market like Japan. My role is to bring clarity to that process. I support candidates by sharing real-time market insights, helping them position their experience effectively, and preparing them for interviews with a clear understanding of both role expectations and cultural dynamics.

I work closely with candidates throughout the hiring process to ensure they feel informed, confident, and supported when making important career decisions.

My Background

Originally from Malaysia, I am a graduate of Utsunomiya University and have built my career in Japan across both Japanese and multinational organizations. Through my experience in global HR and recruitment, I have developed a strong understanding of how the Japanese job market operates—from corporate expectations to cross-cultural communication and long-term career progression.

I now apply this perspective in recruitment, supporting professionals at key transition points in their careers and helping them move toward opportunities that align with both their short-term goals and long-term growth.
