Lead B2B web projects from client interviews and planning through delivery, team coordination, scheduling, and post-release improvement. Full-time Tokyo role with remote work and core-time flextime.
About this role
This is a full-time, mid-level Web Director position based in Tokyo. The role leads client-facing web development projects in the healthcare, medical, and food sectors, particularly within the company’s DX marketing business.
The Web Director handles the project from initial client interviews and problem definition through planning, specification decisions, proposals, coordination, delivery, and post-release improvement. The work is not limited to implementing a client’s stated request. It involves understanding the client’s underlying issues and context, contributing to decisions about what should be created, and continuing to assess whether the released service is being used and producing value.
The director coordinates internal and external engineers and designers. Although implementation and design are handled by specialist members, the position requires an SE-oriented perspective and participation in overall system design and technical decisions. Core responsibilities include client communication, organizing requirements, developing proposals, managing schedules and progress, evaluating results after release, and suggesting improvements.
The stated required experience is Web Director experience gained at an advertising agency, Web production company, or operating company, together with experience in digital planning and production for B2B projects. Experience at a Web production company is particularly welcomed. Relevant strengths include progress management, communication across different professional roles, and the ability to create realistic schedules. The posting also seeks people who can identify issues independently, work collaboratively across disciplines, operate in a fast-moving environment, and contribute to a socially oriented business.
The company operates the nutrition-management app Oishi Kenko and develops services connected with healthcare, medicine, and food. Its client work uses assets such as lifestyle data generated through its own services. Examples of previous projects include a medication-guidance app for Takeda Pharmaceutical, a collaboration version of the Oishi Kenko app for Ito En vegetable drinks, and a recipe API connected to client services. The broader organization includes engineers, designers, and registered dietitians, who discuss service improvements together.
The posting states that remote work and core-time flextime are used. Online interviews are available. The company has approximately 45 members and provides onboarding that includes monthly one-on-one lunches with a mentor and regular meetings with the CEO during the first six months. It also describes welcome lunches, quarterly or seasonal internal events, and close communication between management and employees.
