For business-process control testing, candidates must understand general securities-business processes through experience or knowledge of securities operations, or have experience conducting internal-control audits at an audit firm or similar organization. Experience in accounting or general ledger operations is an advantage.

For IT control testing, candidates need database knowledge and the ability to extract data from databases and analyze it, or create analysis tools, using Microsoft Access and Excel. The posting specifically names Excel and Access skills including macros and VB, as well as the ability to work with Sybase and Oracle databases.

Securities Sales Representative qualification and Internal Control Manager qualification are welcomed. Business-level English is also welcomed but is not stated as a mandatory requirement.

Overtime and holiday work may be required.

The contract has no fixed term, and the probationary period is six months with the same salary. Salary is determined through consultation based on experience, ability and suitability, so no numeric salary range is provided. Commuting expenses are fully covered under company rules, and lunch-cost assistance and other benefits are available. Benefits include social insurance, an employee stock ownership plan, babysitter childcare discount support, housing-related programs, asset-building support and leisure support.
