Professional Services - Solutions Consultant, Tokyo

WHO WE ARE Notion is the collaborative AI workspace where teams and agents think together https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkpYpWfEK5s. We're building one place where your knowledge, projects, meetings, and AI tools live side by side, so work is faster, clearer, and less fragmented. Millions of individuals, small teams, and large companies run their work on Notion. Notinos (our employees) are customer zero in bringing this future of work to life. We care about craft, building things that last, and the belief that great work is still fundamentally human. Our goal isn’t to ship the next feature. Each and every team of Notinos is working to set the standard for how humans work together in the AI era. From building a business’s system of record to making and managing AI agents to automating away the busy work, we care deeply about giving our customers more time for their life’s work. ABOUT THE ROLE Notion is hiring a Professional Services Solutions Consultant in Tokyo, Japan. The Professional Services team helps customers unlock the full value of Notion. We partner with organizations to redesign how work gets done, streamlining processes, scaling adoption, and embedding Notion AI and Agents as force multipliers. Working closely with customers, cross-functional teams, and strategic partners, we turn business challenges into tailored Notion solutions that drive productivity, accelerate outcomes, and create lasting impact. This role will be a part of the growing global professional services team and will be responsible for both pre-sales (e.g. scoping & selling PS engagements), post-sales (e.g. engagement delivery) and onboarding/working with our delivery partners in region. As Notion continues to grow, we need to provide customers with the right resources to ensure they are successful in adopting our technology across all stages of their journey — onboarding, implementation, expansion, and optimization.
