New Role - HR Manager opening · Tokyo · Global luxury brand Exclusive job

Our client is a fast growing global luxury brand with galleries opening worldwide — at an exciting start-up phase with a lean 4-person Tokyo office and 35-strong manufacturing team in Japan.

Most companies ask HR to follow the process. We are asking you to create it. If that sounds like exactly what you have been waiting for — we want to hear from you.

What you will be doing

• Own end-to-end HR across Japan — payroll, compliance, employee relations and hiring
• Build and implement HR policies and work rules for a growing multi-site team
• Work directly with Japan GM and align with global HR in US

What we are looking for

• Solid HR generalist background in Japan — labor law, social insurance and compliance
• Business level Japanese and English — you will work with both local teams and global HQ
• A self-starter who sees a standalone role as an opportunity, not a challenge

What is in it for you

• Great compensation and solid bonus and increment in place
• A reporting line that genuinely invests in your growth
• Global exposure from day one — connected to an international team
• Hybrid work setup with full flexibility
