Some examples of our most recent assignments.➡️GLOBAL BIOPHARMACEUTICAL RARE DISEASE COMPANY: Global Biopharmaceutical Company focused on the needs of patients with rare diseases. Headquartered in the United States, they were seeking to enter the Japan market and looking for a bilingual Japanese country Manager.

  FOR JOB SEEKERS - CASE STUDY ➡️CONSULTATION: We met the 43-year-old marketing director from a large European pharmaceutical, oncology company for a confidential meeting in Nihonbashi. He was working 16 hours a day. We discussed his career, he shared that his life was out of balance, home life was suffering. We listened to his hopes, goals, dreams and ambitions. We made a plan based on his timeline. It was clear although he was working at a great company he was not getting the right opportunities, his career had stalled. ➡️OPPORTUNITIES: We kept in contact through sharing market information. Within 2 months we were able to present him with an exciting opportunity at a rare disease company that was a good match for his career and future goals. The position of commercial director was a step up as was the potential salary package. The new firm emphasized the importance of a balanced work and home life. We confidentially presented his resume and proceeded with setting up meetings with the new company➡️OFFER: Through the interview process we consulted and counseled the marketing director. We talked about the company’s pipeline, we looked at his current salary and how the new opportunity compared. Who would be his mentor? Where would he be in three to five years? Would he be learning new skills? Would he be challenged? Would there be international opportunities at the firm? We negotiated an attractive offer. We examined the positives of being promoted at the new company and he carefully decided with his family that it was time to make a move. ➡️RESIGNATION: We walked the director through the resignation process and explained the 3 stages, shock, acceptance and support http://morunda.com/the-fine-art-of-saying-sayonara/ ➡️ONBOARDING: We supported the director through the transition period catching up with him twice for a casual lunch ensuring all his questions were being answered and to discuss the importance of his first 90 days.
