* Review, draft and negotiate a wide range of commercial agreements
* Support licensing, intellectual property, and cross-border legal matters
* Provide cross-departmental legal advice to business and creative teams
* Manage corporate documentation and registration across all group companies
* Support the legal team on ad hoc projects as the business scales in Japan

Why Consider This Opportunity?

* Broad scope across commercial, regulatory, and corporate matters, ideal for building well-rounded in-house experience
* Join a stable global company with a long track record in the Japan market
* Exposure to a creative, high-profile, fast-moving industry
* Flexible working style, including remote work and flex time
* Supportive team environment working alongside experienced legal colleagues
