Manage and improve HR programs at Kubota Environmental Engineering’s Tokyo headquarters.
About this role
The legal affairs specialist will work as a member of the legal team, coordinating with management and other departments to provide legal support and manage corporate legal risk. Main responsibilities include reviewing and preparing domestic and international contracts, responding to legal consultations, supporting compliance audits, building and operating compliance systems, and handling governance matters including special purpose companies.
The role covers construction contracts, basic transaction agreements, outsourcing agreements, nondisclosure agreements, and other legal documents. The specialist will provide advice to internal departments, support problem solving, and assist with compliance activities including audit-system design and revision, audit preparation and internal coordination, on-site and document audits, post-audit reviews, and internal whistleblowing matters such as preparation, interviews, and meeting minutes. Litigation and dispute work includes consulting with lawyers, planning strategies, and negotiating with opposing parties.
At least seven years of corporate legal experience is required, including experience as a legal representative in a business division or company, not only in a legal department. Candidates must be able to review contracts independently rather than relying on AI, handle litigation and disputes, assess consultations independently and seek legal opinions from lawyers, and perform the specified compliance and audit duties. Experience in the construction industry, practical overseas work experience, and English ability equivalent to a TOEIC score of 750 are welcomed.
The legal organization consists of three people. The employer operates water-treatment and waste-treatment facilities, including construction, operation, maintenance, repair, and engineering services.
Work from home is available. The position is full-time and permanent, with a six-month probationary period under the same conditions as regular employment.
