Mid-level Health and Medical Content Editor

The editor will plan and structure content about food, nutrition, health, and medical care, and will handle interviews, writing, proofreading, production scheduling, and assigning external contributors. The position covers the wider range of editorial work needed to develop and publish content.

The main publishing channel is the web, although the company also has members with print-media backgrounds. Content includes practical information on food and nutrition for conditions such as diabetes and dyslipidemia, as well as guidance on topics such as the basics of measuring ingredients. The related service supports more than 70 disease states and health themes, leaving additional topics to be planned and published.

Content is expected to be accurate and evidence-based. The company develops the Oishi Kenko food-management app for patients and other users, the Kakaris dietary-guidance solution for medical institutions, and other healthcare services. It also conducts joint clinical research with medical universities. This medical research background and the presence of approximately 10 registered dietitians provide subject-matter support for editorial work.

The editor will work with registered dietitians, engineers, designers, and other internal specialists to plan and carry out projects. The company is also working to combine its existing products with newer technologies such as generative AI, although no specific technology is listed as a requirement for this editorial role.

Required qualifications are professional editing experience at a publishing company, editorial production company, or web media organization; a strong interest in healthcare, wellness, or food; and communication skills for progressing work smoothly. Editing experience specifically related to medical or healthcare content is welcomed. Applicants without prior web-editing experience may also be considered when they are willing to take on new work.

This is a full-time position in Tokyo. Online interviews are available. The company uses remote work and core-time flextime. New employees receive onboarding during their first six months, including monthly one-on-one lunches with a mentor and regular meetings with the CEO.
