Broadridge is seeking a proactive and technically skilled Technical Project Manager to manage the presales, implementation, and ongoing technical service delivery for our US Proxy solutions (and other BBD Products) in Japan and neighbouring markets. This role will act as the critical bridge between our US-based product and engineering teams and our Japanese clients and partners, ensuring seamless communication, technical execution, and client satisfaction.
The successful candidate will support sales efforts by providing technical expertise in client discussions, oversee project delivery and integration post-sale, and establish strong, real-time technical and operational support locally in Japan, and neighbouring markets.

- Oversee configuration, system integration, data flows, and testing of proxy-related functionality (e.g., account setup, data exchange, custody chain processes).
Post-Implementation And Ongoing Support
- Provide real-time technical support and issue resolution during Japan business hours, reducing dependency on offshore time zones.
- Manage escalation processes and ensure resolution of functionality defects or “chain of custody” reconciliation issues.
