Executive Assistant

High‑impact opportunity | High ownership | Design‑driven venture studio | Fast‑paced Start-up

Your new company

A Tokyo‑based venture studio operating in an international, design‑driven environment. The organization builds, funds, and operates original businesses across technology, consumer products, and hospitality, working closely with founders to turn ideas into scalable ventures. The culture is fast paced, entrepreneurial, and highly collaborative, valuing ownership, creativity, and initiative.

Your new role

You will join as an Executive Assistant, acting as a trusted partner to the CEO in a dynamic and evolving startup environment. This is a non‑traditional EA role with broad, flexible responsibilities that change daily based on business needs. You’ll support scheduling, coordination, communication, and logistics while assisting across multiple projects and ventures.

What you'll need to succeed

To succeed, you’ll be comfortable operating in an unstructured, fast‑moving environment and juggling multiple priorities. Native‑level Japanese and business‑level English are required, along with strong judgment, discretion, and a proactive mindset. Experience in startups, venture capital, or creative industries is highly valued, as is the ability to take ownership beyond clearly defined tasks.

What you'll get in return

You’ll gain direct exposure to founder‑level decision making and the opportunity to work across multiple industries and ventures. The role offers high autonomy, trust, and visibility, within a flat, international, and collaborative culture. A hybrid working arrangement (2 days WFH), a modern office location in central Tokyo, and a competitive salary of up to ¥8M are offered.
