Web Director

This full-time Web Director role leads client-facing B2B development projects in the healthcare, medical, and food sectors. Responsibilities cover the full project cycle, from understanding a client’s situation and organizing its challenges to considering proposals and specifications, coordinating internal and external engineers and designers, managing schedules and delivery, and evaluating results after release. The role continues into improvement proposals rather than ending at launch.

The position is expected to approach projects from upstream planning. Instead of simply implementing a client’s stated request, the director helps examine what should be created and proposes a suitable direction based on the client’s underlying needs. Implementation and design are handled by specialist team members, while the director contributes to overall planning and technical decisions from an SE-like perspective.

Required experience includes working as a Web Director 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 and schedule management, communication across different professional roles, and developing realistic delivery plans.

The projects are connected to healthcare, medical care, and food. The company operates the Oishii Kenko nutrition-management app, which provides meal suggestions based on individual health conditions, and also develops client services using data and other assets accumulated through that service. Examples of previous projects include a medication-instruction app for Takeda Pharmaceutical, a collaboration version of Oishii Kenko for ITO EN vegetable drinks, and a recipe API connected to client services. The broader technology context includes the use of accumulated food and health data and work combining existing products with generative AI, although no specific technical stack is listed as a requirement for this role.

The desired candidate can identify issues independently rather than only completing assigned tasks, enjoys producing results with people from different specialties, wants to grow in a fast-moving environment, and is interested in work connected to social contribution. The position is based in Tokyo. Remote work and core-time flextime are used, and online interviews are available.
