Senior Legal Counsel | Major Tech Company | Flexible WFH 独占求人

A leading Tech Company is seeking an experienced Senior Legal Counsel to join its growing legal team in Japan.

This is a newly created role within the legal team of a major tech company with a long-established presence and strong brand recognition in Japan. You will join an experienced legal team supporting all brands in the Japan market, working across English and Japanese in a diverse, international environment. The company is on a strong growth trajectory and is expanding its legal function to keep pace with increasing market share.

This role suits a legal professional who wants broad, hands-on exposure across commercial, regulatory, and corporate matters — rather than a narrow specialist track — within a well-known consumer brand environment.

We are looking for a lawyer with:

• At least 6 years of experience in the legal department of a major corporation
• Broad working knowledge of Japanese corporate law
• Business-level English and native-level Japanese, written and spoken
• Previous experience in the tech industry is an advantage

Key Responsibilities

• Review, draft and amend a wide range of legal documents, including third-party vendor agreements, property agreements and licensing arrangements
• Provide cross-departmental legal advice on commercial agreements and sales & marketing materials
• Monitor industry standards and ensure alignment with internal and external regulations
• Manage corporate documentation and registration across all group companies, ensuring compliance with internal and external guidelines
• Support the legal team on ad hoc projects as the business scales in Japan

Why Consider This Opportunity?

• Newly created role offering visibility and the chance to help shape legal processes from an early stage
• Broad scope across commercial, regulatory and corporate matters — ideal for building well-rounded in-house experience
• Join a recognized, stable global brand with a long track record in the Japan market
• Flexible working style, including remote work and flex time
• Supportive team environment working alongside experienced legal colleagues
• Genuine growth trajectory as the company continues to expand its Japan market share
