About this role
This corporate planning role supports company-wide management and works close to the management team. The company operates the Fanicon fan-community app, iCON Suite, RIPPLY, iCON CAST, and online marketing consulting services, following businesses in B2B influencer marketing and B2C fan communities.
Initial responsibilities include monthly budget-versus-actual analysis, identifying variance factors, preparing annual budgets, and updating forecasts. The role also prepares materials for management meetings and board meetings and aligns numerical information with business divisions. Depending on aptitude and preference, responsibilities may expand into finance or management control.
Additional work may include assisting with financial results summaries and investor-relations materials, researching M&A candidates, designing KPIs, improving business processes, and operating internal controls.

Strong alignment with THECOO DNA is also required.
Preferred qualifications include experience at a listed company, Japanese Bookkeeping Level 2 or above, and experience using SQL or BI tools such as Tableau. Experience reading the three primary financial statements, participating in IR or M&A, operating Salesforce or other SFA/CRM systems, promoting BPR, or working with J-SOX is also welcomed.
The position is full-time and located in Jingumae, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo. The probationary period is six months.
