Tokyo Foundry Full time

About Foundry

At Foundry, formerly known as IDG Communications, Inc. and rebranded on February 17, 2022, we have played a key role in every major milestone, announcement, and development in modern technology since 1964.

Originally established as the publishing arm of the International Data Group (IDG), we distributed newspapers, magazines, and books globally, featuring prominent brands such as CIO, ChannelWorld, ComputerWorld, PCWorld, and many more.

Today, at Foundry we continue to lead the world by helping companies bring their visions to reality through a combination of media, marketing technologies and proprietary data. Our technology platforms are powered by data from our owned and operated ecosystem of global editorial brands, prestigious awards, and events, all engineered and integrated to drive marketing campaigns for technology companies. While we harness the power of algorithms, optimisation, and automation, what truly fuels our success are the meaningful connections and trusted relationships we cultivate.

What truly sets our hearts on fire is our unwavering belief in technology as a force for good. We are not just bystanders; we are the architects of positive change. With wisdom as our guide, we are spearheading progress in various crucial areas, such as championing diversity and inclusion, democratising tech accessibility, and championing women in leadership roles.

About the Team

Foundry has a large subscriber base of both technology and business influencers and decision makers. Technology companies and agencies alike utilise this reach to market their solutions and connect with these contacts on a global scale. The unique requirements of each client are transferred into campaigns which the Data Services Group is responsible for managing.

About the Role

We are looking to bring a Japanese translator into the regional operations team to strengthen our delivery in Japan and support Foundrys broader goal of becoming the primary demand generation partner in the market. Japan continues to be one of our fastest growing regions and delivering in-language campaigns is key to deepening trust with both clients and prospects. This role will ensure our translations reflect the accuracy and cultural standards expected locally. It is an opportunity to contribute to how Foundry grows and continues to stand out as a trusted provider of high-quality, locally relevant lead generation in Japan.

Responsibilities

  • Translate data from English into Kanji and Katakana on a weekly basis with precision and accuracy. 
  • Localize content to ensure alignment with Japanese cultural and linguistic nuances. 
  • Safeguard all confidential and sensitive information in accordance with company policies. 
  • Manage translation deliverables across multiple campaigns while consistently meeting deadlines. 
  • Collaborate closely with campaign managers to clarify information and maintain an efficient workflow. 

About You

  • Near native fluency in Japanese and strong English proficiency, with excellent written accuracy.
  • Deep understanding of Japanese business culture, etiquette, and use of Kanji.
  • Strong research and attention to detail, especially for names, company suffixes, and terminology.
  • Degree in translation, linguistics, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.

About the Benefits

  • Work-Life Balance: Enjoy flexible work arrangements that allow for a balanced approach between WFH and the office.
  • Additional Leave Options: We offer extra leave options to support your personal needs and enable you to recharge.
  • Diversity and Inclusion: Take part in our Diversity and Inclusion Council, where you can help shape a more inclusive workplace culture.

Other

Foundry is an inclusive place to work and develop a career. We embrace diversity, celebrate our differences, and inspire each person to be themselves at work. As we strive to achieve our strategic goals, we welcome and actively encourage diverse groups and diversity dimensions.
