  The sales advocated for in this position involves building connections with doujin creators and serving as a conduit to deliver entertainment to users through DLsite.

  You probably already have your own framework as a businessperson. Given your active role in positions involved in the distribution of products and content you might:

  However perhaps you have concerns like:

  Feeling limited to project management and wanting to be involved in fostering prosperity beyond that. Desiring not only a business perspective but also seeking ways to empathize with customers. Do you have any such concerns

  If you resonate with any of these points you could certainly thrive with us. Why not leverage your sales skills to elevate Japans esteemed twodimensional content

  We need individuals who can view things from multiple perspectives not bound by industry conventions and who can understand and empathize with creators sentiments not just focusing on profits.

  Job Description This is an overall frontline position in dealing with interactions with doujin creators. You will serve as the representative interface within the company. Expanding the number of works is the clear mission of this position.

  To increase the number of works you will act in a consultancy capacity for doujin creators.

  Currently starting with content translation we are expanding DLsites overseas presence so you may lead translation permissions. Also you may collaborate horizontally with the marketing department to devise strategies aligned with our goals. Additionally our service not only features manga and illustrations but also game content. We are implementing strategies to expand these to apps to reach more users.

  We aim to design tasks according to your suitability.

  Specific Job Responsibilities

  • Consultation with creators
  • Acquisition of translation permissions for works
  • Acquisition of app permissions for game works
  • Planning and implementation of new projects as a service operator
  • Proposal and implementation of collaboration with companies
  • Development planning based on numerical management and market conditions etc.

  Assigned Organization You are expected to be assigned to the doujin team in the Business Promotion Department. This team consists of members who interact with doujin creators as the name suggests within the department responsible for promoting business.

  Appeal of the Position

  • Being part of the business division allows for deep involvement with the content we handle. You can accumulate comprehensive experience from strategy formulation to execution and operation.
  • You can propose new initiatives in an environment with significant discretion and budget scale.

  Company Atmosphere In addition to otaku enthusiasts employees from various backgrounds are present all working together to realize the companys vision. Overall many employees have some sort of passion or obsession both in work and in personal life and they respect each others passions and values.

  • Regular 1on1 sessions are conducted to support team members.
  • OKRs are set for short to longterm milestones to encourage collaboration between teams.
  • An environment for skill enhancement is available through external seminars and book purchase support.
  • There are no mandatory drinking parties.
  • The work culture focuses on completing tasks within the designated 7hour workday from 10:00 to 18:00.
  • Its easy to switch between work and personal life allowing for a balanced worklife dynamic. (Average monthly overtime across the company is 20 hours.)

  Work Style Considering individual preferences the company balances remote work and office attendance. About 50% of the company works fully remotely and even for employees who come to the office they are required to come in at least three days a week so many employees work remotely for two days a week. Additionally the workday is 7 hours (10:00 to 18:00 with a 1hour break) and the salary does not include overtime pay for hours worked beyond this. While the standard may be an 8hour workday in society in our company and department we want to operate flexibly considering individual circumstances as long as results are delivered.

  Personnel System To support the growth of the company in the medium to long term we have introduced a personnel system that emphasizes the development of talents. Based on a grade system evaluations grades and compensation are determined. Milestones both shortterm and longterm are set through individual OKRs based on the missions and business skills defined for each grade ensuring clear evaluation criteria. Additionally since efficiently performing tasks within the 7hour workday is considered a significant indicator working overtime extensively does not lead to higher evaluations.
