-------------【 Job Description】-------------

■Department Mission:

Deliver systems development, maintenance, and operations across the logistics, sales, and corporate (human resources, physical assets, and financial capital) domains in alignment with the company group's overarching DX strategy.

■Your Role

As part of driving the corporate group's Y-DX1 (Management Infrastructure Reform) strategy, the team handles the development, operation, and maintenance of legacy systems related to ERP implementation.

① Sales & Logistics: Systems development, operation, and maintenance for sales and logistics workflows that deliver products to customers.

② Corporate: System operation and maintenance for corporate functions, including accounting, human resources, and general affairs.

③ Customer Support: System operation and maintenance for post-purchase maintenance services, spare parts procurement, and inventory management.

■Strengths:

Leveraging 30 years of deep experience and domain expertise supporting the company group, the team drives systems development, operations, and maintenance to guarantee stable and reliable system performance.

■Responsibilities

・Responsible for system development, operations, and maintenance tasks across logistics, sales, and corporate (human resources, physical assets, and financial capital) domains for domestic and international entities within the company group.

・While gaining an understanding of the company group’s business operations and systems, the engineer handles development activities related to ERP implementation as well as the operation and maintenance of currently active platforms.

※Specific duties will be assigned based on individual experience and aptitude.

・While frequent collaboration takes place with group companies in China, certain domains require coordination with overseas user departments and IT teams, necessitating functional communication skills in English.

■Gained Experience & Capabilities

・By gaining hands-on development experience and leading small-scale projects, engineers can build a foundation to transition into future leadership or management roles on large-scale initiatives.

・Through hands-on collaboration with group companies in China on manufacturing systems, team members can acquire broad technical expertise and industry knowledge while staying up to date with emerging technologies and global trends.

・As legacy systems are modernized in conjunction with enterprise ERP rollouts, the role offers ample opportunities to spearhead new initiatives and tackle fresh challenges.

■Position Highlights

・Opportunity to work on large-scale systems across the entire corporate group globally, directly experiencing the impact of business transformation driven by IT.

・Total involvement from upstream planning down to ongoing operations, allowing engineers to oversee complete system lifecycles rather than isolated development tasks.

・Ample opportunities for international business travel—including visits to group companies in China and overseas branches—offering a truly global platform for professional growth.

・In the sales domain, regular feedback from frontline dealerships provides a tangible connection to the end customers using the systems.

■Working Style

・In development projects, while team composition varies depending on project scale, work is typically carried out by a core group of 3 to 5 Japanese members in close coordination with the group company in China.

・Projects also include members from the company group's operational departments, who join the team to drive implementation forward collaboratively.
