Mid-level Public Relations Specialist

This position is a core member of freee’s public relations team during a period of organizational change. The team is moving beyond simply executing requests from individual business divisions and is developing an integrated, strategy-led approach based on company-wide management priorities. The role translates business direction and social trends into stories for external audiences and helps maximize sustainable growth and trust.

Responsibilities include planning and executing corporate and business PR strategies, working with business divisions to direct external communications, and planning and writing content for press releases and owned media. The role also involves building media relationships and conducting promotional activities with major business, IT, and technology media. Monitoring social trends and potential risks is part of the work, as is supporting timely and appropriate information disclosure during incidents in coordination with managers.

The position communicates with a broad range of stakeholders, including customers, investors, and partner companies. It is expected to maintain a consistent corporate brand image across freee’s multiple services while setting priorities and ensuring that their messages are communicated coherently. The role requires independent judgment about why information should be released and how it should be presented, rather than following fixed procedures.

freee provides integrated cloud ERP services for small businesses and individuals, including accounting, human resources and labor management, sales management, tax filing, and electronic signature products. The PR function supports both the corporate organization and these business areas. The position therefore requires the ability to understand management and business intentions and turn them into clear public communications.

Required qualifications are at least approximately three years of practical PR experience at an operating company with 200 or more employees, together with experience in a function outside PR, such as sales, marketing, or corporate planning. Experience working in a B2B business and practical experience at a PR agency are welcome.

The successful candidate can develop strategy and organizational approaches from first principles according to freee’s context, current phase, and challenges instead of applying methods or past successes unchanged. The posting also asks for proactive learning about generative AI and other important company-wide themes, followed by quick practical output. The role must coordinate the views of diverse stakeholders, including management, legal, and development, in a logical and flexible way and move projects forward as a unified effort.

The employment type is full-time and the work location is Tokyo. Online interviews are available. The posting does not state salary, working hours, benefits, language requirements, or visa sponsorship.
