New Graduate Business Generalist

This full-time new-graduate business generalist role is expected to lead to assignments in the Speeda business, the MIMIR business, or corporate functions. Potential operations positions include Speeda inside sales, customer success, MIMIR research, and sales relations. The role therefore involves business operations related to economic information services, customer support, research, or sales-related activities depending on the eventual assignment.

The selection process includes a two-day internship that also forms part of the main hiring process. During the program, participants work in groups on a new-business proposal. Day one includes a company briefing, a Speeda lecture, industry and company analysis, and new-business planning. On day two, participants prepare and present their materials, receive feedback from company executives and senior leaders, and attend a social gathering. The listed program is conducted offline at the Tokyo office. The posting lists sessions on February 19–20, April 23–24, July 10–11, August 6–7, and September 15–16, with additional dates potentially added or changed.

Applicants are expected to be scheduled to graduate in 2028 from a four-year university, graduate school, or an equivalent institution; any academic major is accepted. Graduates and second-career graduates may also apply. The posting seeks candidates with strong motivation to grow in business and some concrete related action or experience, such as a long-term internship, business contest, student entrepreneurship, or a similar experience. It also describes intellectual curiosity, willingness to learn and take on new challenges, initiative, commitment to contributing to society and others, open and honest communication, follow-through, and interest in creating new possibilities as desired qualities. Agreement with the Uzabase Group's stated values is also requested.

The posting names Speeda, NewsPicks, and MIMIR as business and product contexts. It does not specify programming languages or other software technologies. The role-related skills explicitly named are industry and company analysis, new-business planning, inside sales, customer success, research, and sales relations.

The workplace is the Tokyo office in Chiyoda, Tokyo. Remote work is permitted, with core-time arrangements and office attendance frequency varying by team. The possible work-location range includes the employee's home, the head office, or another company-approved location. Standard working hours are 9:00–18:00, with eight prescribed working hours and a full-flex system without core time. Holidays include a two-day weekly schedule, public holidays, year-end and New Year holidays, paid leave of 10 or more days, condolence leave, and a long-vacation system providing two separate seven-consecutive-day breaks annually in addition to paid leave. Salary is discussed and determined according to skills, experience, and ability; the posting states that a raise may be possible twice a year, with twice-yearly raises applying in the case of assignment to MIMIR. Benefits include commuting reimbursement up to 50,000 JPY per month, a company-provided PC selected from a catalog, and a shortened-hours system. For distant internship participants, eligible Shinkansen, airplane, or highway-bus travel costs are reimbursed on an actual-cost basis up to 25,000 JPY, and accommodation for the day is arranged.
