Kirk here with a little "Help Wanted" notice from Andrew, currently residing in Tokyo but formerly a Kumamoto resident. Unfortunately, this notice is only applicable to a minority of the readers of this page: Native Japanese speakers with good English skills. But, it doesn't matter where you are located because you can work remotely.

Hi Kumamoto people, I am looking to hire a paid intern for my company. I work for a financial UK B2B financial media company and we are looking marketing data research intern to help build out and support its work in Japan at a very busy and exciting time for the business.

The intern will play an important role in the creation of a brand-new product through actively researching new contact records, manage parts of our Japanese database to generate new business and gain understanding about how an international B2B media business develops a go-to market strategy for a brand new product.

Job Responsibilities include:
• Web research of new leads
• Excel database management
• Telephone research
• Basic marketing communications

Qualifications:

• High level of proficiency in Microsoft Office
• Native Japanese and Business level English
• Strong research skills and an analytical mindset
• Comfortable speaking to people on the phone

This can be a remote role, so being based in Kumamoto is fine. If anyone is interested and would like to discuss further details with me, feel free to email me at: [email protected]

Andrew
