  • Local Compliance & Data: Support employee data management and compliance checks for our Japan and broader APAC teams, including Singapore and India, ensuring adherence to local employment laws and regulations. Collaborate closely with local employment legal counsels across Japan and the wider APAC region, and manage and coordinate necessary compliance checks, internal/external inquiries, and required regulatory measures. This may include drafting and reviewing local HR policies, handbooks, and procedures to ensure compliance with local employment laws.
  • Partnership & Administration: Work closely with the existing APAC People/HR administrative team to support day-to-day HR administrative tasks and ensure seamless regional operations.
  • New Hire Orientation Leadership: Lead local onboarding sessions and new hire orientations for employees in the APAC region, ensuring new team members are effectively integrated and informed about company policies and culture.
  • Onboarding & Offboarding Coordination: Coordinate and execute remaining key People/HR tasks for new hires and departures across the APAC region.
  • Global People Initiatives: Support the global People team on various projects, including talent development, performance management, engagement surveys, and process improvement efforts.

  • Experience: Minimum of 3-4 years of hands-on, full-cycle recruiting experience, preferably within the technology, fintech, or regulated industry sectors.
  • APAC Recruiting Focus: Proven experience successfully recruiting for talent within one or more major APAC markets (e.g., Japan, Singapore, India, etc.).
  • Language Proficiency: Bilingual fluency in Japanese and English (written and verbal) is essential for this Japan-based role, supporting both local and international communication with high professional proficiency.
