Role Overview
This is an exceptional opportunity to join a rapidly growing IoT startup and play a highly important role in its global expansion. Our group has its headquarters in Japan, though you will mainly be involved in the global side of the business outside Japan, working closely with different small teams across the world.
As a global operation, we must constantly face myriad new regulations from diverse jurisdictions. Therefore, researching laws and regulations of each country with outside legal counsel and maintaining internal operations compliance with such regulations in tandem with relevant team members will be primary requirements for your role. You might be involved in a range of contract management activities, including drafting and negotiating contracts, provided that your skills, experiences, and interests align. For this role, you will work closely with a tight-knit legal team, where you will have full exposure to a range of commercial legal and compliance tasks. We encourage remote work, so you can work from anywhere in Japan.
Who You Are
You are passionate about technology and thrilled to join a fast-growing startup where you can be hands on. You get excited about new challenges where the work starts with global research on a number of regulations all the way to providing solutions supporting expansion of a global business. You are eager, self-challenging, and happy to expand outside your comfort zone in order to solve novel issues in a variety of markets.
