Our client is a leading distributor of electronic components in Asia, this company operates in 13 countries. They are focused on enhancing their services in robotics and Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT), offering startups design and supply chain support.

They are looking for an experienced HR Generalist to help transform their HR operations and drive strategic growth across their Japan business.


Here’s why this role could be a great fit for you:

  • Strategic HR Leadership: You will manage HR operations for three key business units in Japan, working closely with the HR leader based in Tokyo/Shin-Yokohama. This includes end-to-end recruitment, compensation structure reviews, and outsourcing projects.
  • Global Mindset: The company is looking for someone with multinational experience and an international mindset, able to adapt to Western business culture and lead change management initiatives.
  • HR System Expertise: Experience with HR Information Systems will be highly valued as the company focuses on optimizing HR processes and driving operational efficiency.
  • Operational and Workforce Management: You’ll work closely with warehouse operations in Shin-Yokohama. Strong organizational and back-office solutions experience will be key.
  • Growth and Transformation: This is a unique opportunity to lead HR transformation projects, including compensation reviews, labor rule revisions, and manager training, positioning the business for future success.


The role is based in Tokyo and Shin-Yokohama, and the company is expanding rapidly, so you’ll have the chance to make a real impact in a dynamic and fast-growing environment.


Why this Opportunity Stands Out:

  • Key Role in Business Transformation: Take the lead on vital HR initiatives that drive business growth and improve operational efficiency.
  • Collaborative Environment: Work directly with senior leadership to shape and advance the HR function.
  • Fast-Growing Industry: Join a company at the forefront of the booming semiconductor industry.
