AIM B2B by Custom Media KK is an award-winning, full-service B2B agency helping global brands reach decision-makers across Japan and APAC through data-driven, creative marketing — in high-growth industries like AI, clean energy, fintech, healthcare, manufacturing, and technology. We work across strategy, storytelling, PR, content, and digital.

Our Studio is growing, and we're looking for a Graphic Designer to work directly with our Creative Director. This is a hands-on execution role. You'll take concepts and turn them into finished, on-brand work — adapting global creative for the Japan market, building presentation and template systems, and using AI and Canva to move fast. You keep production moving so the wider team can stay on strategy and concept.

This suits someone with the craft to work to a professional standard on their own — someone who reads a brief, understands the idea behind it, and works out the right way to make it visual, rather than just operating the software. If you're 3 years+ in and hungry to grow, or further along and looking for solid hands-on production work — and you're genuinely into Japanese design and visual culture — we'd like to see your portfolio.

- 3 years of professional design experience — or a portfolio that clearly shows you already work at a professional standard, whatever your years.
- You can take a brief or a rough concept and work out how to make it visual — not just operate the tools.
- Strong Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign; Premiere a plus).
- Comfortable with Canva, and either already using AI design tools or quick to pick them up.
- Business-level Japanese — most of our design work is for the Japan market.
- Business-level English — the team works in English day to day.
- A real feel for Japanese design conventions, typography, and visual culture.
- A portfolio showing range across print, digital, and presentation work.

Nice to have:
- Genuine affinity for Japanese visual culture — or a real interest in Japan you want to turn into professional work.
- Experience adapting creative across languages and markets.
- Presentation and template design (PowerPoint / Slides).
- Basics of motion, video, or animation.
- Self-directed and dependable — you take ownership and deliver to a professional standard without close supervision.
- Comfortable working remotely and async across a small team.

- Take creative concepts from the Creative Director and produce finished, on-brand assets.
- Adapt and localize global creative for the Japan market — layout, typography, and cultural fit for JP audiences.
- Build and maintain PowerPoint and Google Slides templates, presentation design, and shared asset libraries.
- Produce event and booth graphics, banners, flyers, infographics, white-paper layouts, and social assets.
- Use AI tools (Adobe Firefly, Photoshop generative, image-generation workflows) to speed up production, and check output for quality and brand fit.
- Use Canva for fast-turnaround and templated work.
- Turn text-heavy content into clear, well-designed visuals.
- Manage several jobs at once, hold format and layout consistency, and flag capacity honestly when timelines don't add up.
- Work closely with the Creative Director, project managers, and client success team on schedules and handoffs.

If you're a driven designer who wants to do sharp, hands-on work with a team that cares about craft, we'd like to hear from you.

Please apply with a cover letter and a link to your online portfolio to careers@custom-media.com, telling us what appeals to you about this role. Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted for an interview. No phone calls, please.

We're an Equal Opportunity Employer. We value diversity and are committed to an inclusive workplace for all.
