Notion is an AI-powered connected workspace that brings together docs, wikis, project management, and AI agents in one platform, helping teams centralize knowledge, streamline workflows, and collaborate more effectively. Notion is expanding its Japan GTM organization, hiring across Commercial, Mid-Market, and Enterprise sales segments.
Grow partnered with Notion to support hiring in a highly competitive SaaS talent market. Through market mapping across enterprise SaaS companies and consulting firms, Grow built targeted outreach to reach candidates with both strong sales performance and technical credibility.
