Design and improve operations for a platform business providing card, credit, and financial operations to partners. Standardize workflows, coordinate stakeholders, and build KPI monitoring.
About this role
This legal and compliance role supports new business creation and the growth of existing operations in the B2B payments and fintech fields. The work begins during the planning stage of new businesses, with legal staff collaborating closely with business teams to identify risks, design operations, and help move projects forward in areas where regulations and precedents may be unclear.
Responsibilities include advising on financial-sector laws and regulations; participating in the launch of new businesses; and supporting agreements with external partner companies. This includes drafting, reviewing, negotiating, and helping conclude business partnership agreements and licensing agreements. The role also covers broader legal and compliance support for rapidly expanding operations rather than only routine regulatory responses or revisions to terms of use.
The position includes helping establish internal controls that can support full-flexible working arrangements, including arrangements involving overseas personnel, and that are suitable for preparation for a public listing. Depending on the individual's preferences, the role may also include leading a business or project as a project manager. Work connected with potential overseas expansion is described as another possible area of activity.
The role is positioned close to the business organization and involves working on new business concepts from an early stage. The legal function is expected to help shape decisions by understanding the assumptions and objectives behind a proposal, rather than only deciding whether an activity is legally possible. The posting also describes scope for contributions beyond conventional legal-department work, including bringing debt-collection operations in-house and negotiating with important partners from the business side.
The wider business context includes AI-based credit assessment, changes in the structure of B2B finance, and partnerships in areas without established industry precedents. The legal team is led by Chief Legal Officer Kensuke Tsujimoto, who oversees legal and labor-related work. Senior Legal Counsel Taro Izawa handles a broad range of legal work.
The stated work location is the Shibuya office in Shibuya, Tokyo, and full remote work is possible. A full-flexible working arrangement is also referenced. The selection process is entry, a casual interview, document screening, multiple interviews, and an offer. The company may decide not to proceed with interviews if it determines that proposing a position suited to the applicant's preferences and experience is difficult.
