CFO Office Head Candidate

This full-time role is in the CFO Office and works directly under the Director and CFO. The position supports management and business operations by defining and executing initiatives needed for growth in a real-estate and technology company. The company operates multiple products and services and conducts several M&A transactions annually, creating a need to integrate consolidated accounting, financial planning and analysis, fundraising, investor relations, internal controls, M&A, and post-merger integration activities. The role is intended to support the company through its pre- and post-listing phases.

Responsibilities include leading the consideration and execution of M&A transactions, planning and implementing post-merger integration, and planning and promoting joint ventures and alliances. The role also plans and operates group finance, builds a financial monitoring structure for the group, and provides management decision support through FP&A. Additional duties include preparing annual budgets, managing budget-versus-actual results, planning capital policy and financing strategies, developing IR narratives and presentation materials, and building relationships with and responding to investors and financial institutions. The successful candidate will drive cross-functional initiatives from definition through execution and may work across M&A, IR, FP&A, and business development rather than being limited to one function.

Required experience includes practical experience preparing annual budgets and managing budget-versus-actual performance through FP&A, the ability to promote cross-functional projects, and strong communication skills. Candidates must also have one of the following: an accounting qualification such as Japanese CPA or US CPA, or equivalent advanced expertise; experience at an investment bank, private equity fund, FAS firm, or strategy consulting firm; or experience in corporate planning, business development, M&A, or alliances at an operating company. The posting also seeks someone who treats M&A and finance as tools for business growth and customer value, proactively addresses necessary business themes, forms hypotheses for complex issues, and advances work by involving others.

The work location at joining is the head office at 9-7-2 Akasaka, Minato-ku, Tokyo. The posting states that office attendance and remote work are recommended in combination. The work location may also include company-designated locations and, after a change in scope, offices such as Tokyo and Niigata. A residence within the Tokyo metropolitan area or within a 90-minute one-way ordinary-train commute is given as a guideline. Employment is permanent with no fixed contract term, subject to a three-month probationary period. The salary data lists JPY 9,000,000 to JPY 15,000,000 per year, while the body states that the grade and amount are individually determined under company rules. Annual compensation is calculated as monthly salary multiplied by 12 plus a bonus; the monthly salary includes a fixed allowance equivalent to 40 hours of overtime, with any excess of calculated overtime, holiday, and late-night premiums paid separately. Bonuses and salary revisions may occur up to twice a year depending on company and individual performance.

The working system is flextime, with core hours from 11:00 to 16:00, flexible start hours from 6:00 to 11:00, flexible end hours from 16:00 to 22:00, a standard eight-hour workday, and a one-month settlement period. Work beyond scheduled hours is possible. Holidays are Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays, with 125 annual holidays, three days of summer leave, three Welcome leave days usable during the probationary period, and year-end and New Year holidays. Listed benefits include flextime and discretionary work systems, remote work, rent and moving-cost assistance, and support for qualifications, books, and study-event participation. Social insurance is provided, and a smoking room is installed.
