Japan Market Launch Consultant
Zoomo, Japan
Job Description
OUR STORY
Founded in Sydney in 2017, as a side hustle, co-founders Mina and Michael went full time in 2019, and in the short period since, Zoomo has raised over $16M and built world-leading utility e-bikes and a disruptive business model for their distribution and maintenance. We're a fast-growing tech start-up with a global footprint across the US, Australia, and the UK and are now the trusted partner of some of the world's leading companies like Uber, DoorDash, Dexus, and many more.
OUR PURPOSE
We are transitioning billions of urban miles from bikes, cars, and trucks to smart e-bikes. eBikes are more efficient, more sustainable and now, easily accessible.
OUR VALUES
We move fast and score goals. We seek honest feedback. And we respect the individual.
THE ROLE
To determine the value of launching Japan as the next international market for Zoomo we need to understand if the environment is suitable for our business model. More specifically we require an in-depth analysis of the following:
- Ebike Regulation in Japan
- Ebike Competition in Japan
- City infrastructure (bike lanes etc)
- Food Delivery industry and their delivery vehicle compositions
- e-Bike usage/adoption
- Use of Light Electric Vehicles for logistics
We have an opportunity to potentially partner with a logistics business operating in Japan which offers last mile delivery. This live conversation will help the consultant assess the opportunity. We also have live relationships with AusTrade and some other networks who are assisting us with the opportunity.
