Web Director

About this role

The Web Director will lead client-facing development projects in the DX marketing area. Responsibilities include interviewing clients, organizing their issues, examining and proposing plans and specifications, coordinating in-house and outsourced engineers and designers, managing schedules and delivery, measuring results after release, and proposing improvements. The role is expected to take a systems-engineering perspective and participate in overall design and technical decisions; implementation and design are handled by specialist members.

The position requires Web Director experience at an advertising agency, Web production company, or operating company, as well as experience in digital planning and production for B2B projects. Experience in a production company is particularly welcomed, including schedule management, communication across professions, and practical scheduling. The posting also seeks people who can identify issues independently, collaborate with other professions, work in a fast-paced environment, and contribute to a socially oriented business.

Projects cover healthcare, medicine, and food. The company operates the Oishii Kenko nutrition-management app, which proposes meals suited to individual users, and develops the Kakaris dietary guidance solution for medical institutions and services for health insurance associations. Client work has included a medication-instruction app for Takeda Pharmaceutical, a collaboration version of Oishii Kenko with Ito En vegetable beverages, and a recipe API connected to client services. The company also describes using accumulated food and health data and generative AI in its product and service development.

The director works with engineers, designers, and registered dietitians. Projects are approached from planning and problem definition rather than simply implementing a client request, and the director remains involved after launch to assess usage and user satisfaction and to improve the service. The company describes itself as a startup pursuing both social problem-solving and profit growth.

The position is full-time and based in Tokyo. Remote work and core-time flextime are used, and online interviews are available. New employees receive onboarding during their first six months, including monthly one-on-one lunches with a mentor and regular meetings with the CEO. Welcome lunches and seasonal internal events are also described.
