Mid-level Web Director

The Web Director leads client-facing web development projects in the health, medical, and food sectors. The role covers client interviews, organizing business and user issues, considering and proposing plans and specifications, coordinating in-house and external engineers and designers, managing schedules and delivery progress, and reviewing results after release to propose improvements. The director is involved from the upstream stage, including understanding the client’s background and deciding what should be built, rather than only implementing an existing request.

Implementation and design are handled by specialist members, but the position also requires an SE-oriented perspective when planning the overall structure and making technical decisions. The work continues after launch so that usage, user satisfaction, and delivered value can be evaluated and improved.

Required experience includes working as a Web Director at an advertising agency, Web production company, or operating company, along with experience in digital planning and production for B2B projects. Experience at a production company is particularly welcomed. Relevant strengths include progress management, communication across different professional roles, and creating realistic schedules. The posting seeks people who can identify issues independently, collaborate with other roles to deliver results, work in a fast-moving environment, and contribute to a socially meaningful business.

The company operates the “Oishi Kenko” nutrition-management app, which provides meal suggestions tailored to individual users, and the “Kakaris” dietary guidance solution for medical institutions. It also develops client projects connected to healthcare, medicine, and food, using assets such as food and health data from its own service. Examples include a medication guidance app for Takeda Pharmaceutical, an Ito En collaboration version of the Oishi Kenko service, and a recipe API provided for client services. The company is also combining existing products with generative AI.

This is a full-time position based in Tokyo. The company states that employees use remote work and core-time flextime. Online interviews are available. New employees receive onboarding that includes monthly one-on-one lunches with a mentor during the first six months and regular meetings with the CEO. The company describes itself as a startup and states that employees include engineers, designers, and registered dietitians.
