- Act as the liaison between local office teams and global HQ (admin, HR, IT support, etc.)
- Support onboarding of new employees, including equipment set-up and orientation coordination
- Track and update internal documentation (e.g., shared drives and folders, internal process manuals, etc)
- Schedule and coordinate internal/external meetings (including calendar management, booking rooms, etc.)
- Translation and Interpretation
- Provide ad-hoc interpretation during internal/external meetings (mostly from Japanese to English)
- Translate internal and external materials such as training content, product and marketing documents (primarily English to Japanese, occasionally Japanese to English)
- Operational and Marketing Support
- Operate Salesforce and marketing tools for tasks such as uploading leads and managing contact/account info (including translating Japanese lead data into English when needed)
- Assist with logistics for marketing activities (e.g., event registration, coordination of webinars)
