You'll work closely with cross-functional teams, ensure compliance with Japanese laws and global standards, and help drive the company's growth in one of its most important markets.

This role is perfect for someone who enjoys being embedded in the business, someone who can think commercially, communicate clearly, and proactively manage risk.

Strong drafting and negotiation skills
Familiarity with Japanese regulations such as the Subcontract Act, Freelance Law, Product Liability Law, and consumer protection laws
Native-level Japanese and business-level English

Regional & global Legal/Compliance functions
External partners, vendors, and legal advisors
