COR-263 Corporate IT Manager 情報システムマネージャー

Build and scale the Corporate IT department from the ground up—from strategy and budgeting to team structure.

• As the head of the Corporate IT domain, this role involves taking an end-to-end view across corporate IT, networking, on-premises infrastructure, cloud, security, and IT governance, while building an effective organization that leverages a mix of full-time employees, temporary staff, contractors, and external vendors.
• We are looking for someone who can delegate tasks to the right experts and make final strategic decisions, rather than a pure hands-on implementer who executes everything themselves.
• Currently, there are no full-time employees in the Corporate IT Department. You will be responsible for building the team and organizational structure from the ground up.

情報システム部を、戦略・予算・体制から立ち上げる。

• 情報システム領域全体の責任者として、コーポレートIT、ネットワーク、オンプレミスインフラ、クラウド、セキュリティ、IT統制を俯瞰し、社員・派遣・業務委託・ベンダーを組み合わせた体制を構築していただくポジションです。
• 「すべて自分で実装する人」ではなく、適切な専門家へ任せながら最終的に判断できる方を想定しています。
• 現在、情報システム部に正職員はいません。体制をここから作っていただきます。

Background

Currently, the Corporate IT Department has no full-time employees. Day-to-day operations are handled by temporary staff and external technical advisors; however, there is a lack of leadership to determine departmental strategy, set priorities, manage budgets, and oversee security and IT governance.

In parallel with recruiting corporate engineers and network engineers, we are hiring a Department Head / Manager to bring these efforts together and lead the team.

募集背景

情報システム部には現在、正職員がいません。日々の運用は派遣スタッフと外部の技術アドバイザーで回していますが、部門としての方針、優先順位、予算、セキュリティ、IT統制を判断する立場が不在です。

コーポレートエンジニア、ネットワークエンジニアの採用と並行して、これらを束ねる責任者をお迎えします。

Main Duties

• IT Strategy & Policy: Formulate overall strategy and policy for the IT department.
• Prioritization & Resource Allocation: Define priorities and operational roadmaps for IT initiatives.
• Team Management: Manage and mentor corporate engineers and network engineers.
• Vendor & Workforce Management: Oversee temporary staff, contractors, and external vendor relationships.
• IT Budgeting & Financial Planning: Design and manage the IT budget from scratch (as formal budgeting frameworks are currently being established).
• SaaS & Tool Selection: Evaluate, select, and implement SaaS tools and enterprise IT services.
• Asset & License Management: Oversee IT asset tracking and software license compliance.
• Information Security Strategy: Plan and execute information security measures and governance frameworks.
• Incident Management: Drive response efforts for IT-related incidents and operational disruptions.
• Audit & Compliance: Lead preparations and responses for external audits, including ISMS compliance.
• Contract & Legal Coordination: Coordinate with the legal team on IT-related contracts and compliance matters.
• Stakeholder Alignment & Executive Reporting: Report, propose, and align IT strategies with division heads, executive directors, and the Board of Directors.
• Cross-Departmental Collaboration: Collaborate and align closely with internal stakeholders, including the R&D/Engineering department.
• IT Roadmap Development: Establish long-term IT roadmaps aligned with business growth.

【Why Join Us / Role Highlights】

• Greenfield Build Phase:Rather than stepping into a pre-established team, you will lead the phase of building a permanent, in-house Corporate IT organization from the ground up.
• Design IT Budgeting from Scratch:Instead of merely managing an inherited budget, you have the opportunity to design and establish the entire IT budgeting and financial framework yourself.
• Proximity to Executive Decision-Making:You will operate close to top leadership—presenting proposals and aligning strategy directly with division heads, executive directors, and the Board of Directors.
• High Impact & Abundant Opportunity for Optimization:With vast room for improvement, you can drive high-impact initiatives across SaaS rationalization, security posture, and IT operational design.
• Powering AI & Robotics R&D Infrastructure:Your impact extends beyond traditional back-office IT; you will shape and support the core infrastructure that powers cutting-edge AI and robotics R&D environments.

【仕事の醍醐味】

• 立ち上げフェーズ：
• 完成した情シス組織へ入るのではなく、これから正職員を中心とした情報システム組織を作るフェーズです。
• 予算管理を設計から：

• 経営に近い場での判断：
• 所属本部の組織長・理事会・部門長への説明という、意思決定に近い場に関われます。
• 改善余地が大きい：
• SaaS整理、セキュリティ、運用設計など、改善テーマが多くあります。
• AI・ロボティクス研究開発を支える情シス：

It will allow you to gain unique experience that cannot be replicated elsewhere. In addition, there will be many opportunities to collaborate with supporting member companies and startups, providing an environment where you can explore diverse career opportunities both inside and outside the association.
