Health and Food Content Editor

The editor will create and manage content for a web media service covering food, nutrition, health and medical information. Day-to-day work includes proposing content plans and article structures, conducting interviews, writing and proofreading, managing editorial schedules, and assigning or coordinating external contributors. The scope covers general editorial work, with web publishing as the main channel; people from print media are also active, and applicants without previous web-editing experience may be considered if they are willing to take on new work.

The required background is practical editing experience at a publisher, editorial production company or web media organization. Candidates should have a strong interest in healthcare, wellness or food, together with communication skills for progressing work smoothly. Previous editorial experience specifically related to medicine or healthcare is preferred. The posting does not specify an education requirement or particular software, programming language or framework.

The content is intended to provide reliable, evidence-based information about food and health. Examples include material on eating for diabetes and dyslipidemia and basic measuring guidance for healthy cooking. The service covers more than 70 disease areas or themes. The editor will work with registered dietitians, engineers and designers, including approximately 10 registered dietitians in the company. Medical and nutrition expertise is also supported by the company’s joint research relationships with medical universities. The role contributes to the content publication associated with the food-management service Oishi Kenko and its health and medical information activities.

The organization also develops a meal-management application for patients and consumers, a dietary guidance solution for medical institutions called Kakaris, and other healthcare solutions. Its work combines existing products with newer technologies, including generative AI, although no specific technology is listed as a requirement for this editorial position. Cross-functional planning and execution are part of the role.

This is a full-time position based in Tokyo. The workplace uses remote work and core-time flextime, and online interviews are available. The company describes onboarding during the first six months, including monthly one-to-one lunches with a mentor and regular meetings with the CEO. Welcome lunches and seasonal internal events are also described. No salary, language requirement, contract duration or visa sponsorship is stated.
