Finance & Corporate Planning

This is an execution-focused finance and corporate planning role reporting directly to the CFO. The position supports the strengthening of the finance function ahead of Series B and a planned IPO. The company has raised approximately JPY 19.9 billion cumulatively through Series A and is entering a rapid-growth phase.

Investor relations work includes reporting to existing shareholders, operating monthly reporting meetings, and responding to fund audits.

The role manages budgets and actual results, conducts management analysis, and prepares business-plan materials. It also prepares and coordinates materials for management meetings and board meetings. M&A-related responsibilities include executing financing work associated with acquisitions, assisting with valuations, and supporting closing and post-merger integration. Other cross-functional corporate projects include grant applications, subsidiary reorganizations, registration-related practical work, and project management across these activities.

The position covers the Tokyo headquarters and may involve business trips to Osaka, Kanagawa, and other locations. The job is based in Toranomon, Minato-ku, Tokyo, while work in Osaka can be arranged depending on the candidate’s preference. IPO preparation is planned to begin in one to two years, with a target of going public in three to five years.
