Background of this recruitment:
Our company has rapidly expanded from about 10 to about 30 employees in the past three years. During this period, corporate functions such as corporate planning, accounting/finance, human resources/general affairs, legal affairs, public relations, and recruiting, which support the foundation of the company, have been maintained by a small number of full-time members and consultants who work concurrently. However, we strongly feel the need to redesign and build an organization and structure that will support future growth.

On the other hand, we do not intend to build a “specialized management organization” that is highly vertically divided. While encouraging the participation of consultants, designers, and other members who are mainly responsible for client-facing tasks, we would like to design and develop an organization with a DIY feel, in which we create our own organization by ourselves. We do not want to create an organization that is vertically divided, but rather to design and develop an organization that operates and evolves autonomously, with various personnel forming teams to take on the various “tags” that are necessary to manage the organization. We are looking for someone who can lead such a challenge with the COO or be a part of such a team and work together with the COO while taking charge of some functions.

Main Responsibilities:
The following is a list of functions (“tags”) that we would like to strengthen in the future. However, we are not looking for someone who can handle all of these tasks on his/her own. We would like to have you take on several “tags” depending on your strengths and aptitude.

▸Corporate Planning (mid-term strategy, budget control)
▸Management Accounting, Sales Administration, Accounting (Financial Accounting), Finance ▸Culture & Relations (corporate culture, internal communication and exchange, system planning and design, etc.)
▸Capability enhancement (standardization and improvement) and personnel development and training
▸Hiring
▸Public Relations and Marketing

We are looking for members to help with the implementation of social good.
Requirements include thinking about how to realize a socially good society and coming up with ideas, shaping them into a plan, designing the project, proposing it to the client, producing and managing the project, and actually implementing it.
Depending on the content of the project, it may include business development, product/service development, branding, creative and web production, promotion, public relations, SNS and other communication measures, copywriting, and many other aspects. You will be expected to be flexible in this area and either execute the work yourself or direct other members or external parties.

We work with clients in all kinds of industries and sectors including major companies in SDGs management and social business, social ventures and social entrepreneurs, clothing, food, housing, IT, telecommunications, electric railways, automobiles, education, healthcare, travel, music, trading companies, retail, community development, regional development, as well as manufacturers, service providers, platform providers, and government agencies. Depending on the project, it may be necessary to take a collective impact approach involving various companies in various industries, or to plan, produce, and promote the creation of new industries and markets, not just for a single client.
