Corporate Planning (Manager / Member)

Background

Amid the rapid growth of the crypto asset and blockchain market and increasingly sophisticated, complex regulation in each country, we aim to expand our business in Japan and overseas and continuously increase corporate value. The management agenda is broad, spanning IPO preparation, governance enhancement, strategy formulation and execution for global expansion, and evaluating M&A. In this context, strengthening the corporate planning function — working closely with management, leading company-wide strategy from planning through execution, and raising the quality and speed of decision-making — is an urgent priority. We are looking for someone to drive transformation on both the business and organizational fronts as a core member powering our growth.
