fixed-term project engagement｜HR Manager — Global South Project
仕事概要
[ ABOUT TENCHIJIN ]Tenchijin Inc. is a Tokyo-headquartered space-tech company and JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) certified venture. Through its land-evaluation and analytics platform, Tenchijin COMPASS, the company fuses earth-observation satellite data, geospatial and environmental layers, IoT and ground-sensor feeds, and clients' operational data with proprietary AI to deliver multimodal analytics for utilities and infrastructure enterprises. Tenchijin's flagship water-infrastructure solution, KnoWaterleak, assesses pipeline deterioration and leak risk from space-derived insights and is used by a growing number of water utilities to prioritize inspection and investment, reduce non-revenue water, and extend asset life.
[ ABOUT THE PROJECT ]
The Global South Project is an 18-month initiative (October 2026 – March 2028) to design, build, and deploy a scalable, secure, AI-ready analytics platform tailored to utilities and infrastructure operators across Global South markets. The project adapts Tenchijin's satellite-data and GeoAI capabilities to regions facing aging or rapidly expanding infrastructure, constrained budgets, and limited field-inspection capacity — delivering risk assessment and decision-support tools that improve infrastructure management workflows. All positions are contract-based and fully remote, operating as one distributed, cross-border team with English as the working language.
[ ROLE SUMMARY ]
You will own the people engine of the Global South project: recruiting a distributed, all-contractor team across borders, managing individual contractor agreements and compliance in multiple jurisdictions, and running onboarding that gets specialists productive fast. Operating between Tenchijin's Tokyo headquarters and a global contractor base, bilingual fluency in Japanese and English is essential.

Project Executive Sponsor / Corporate HR
[ Project Language ]
English and Japanese — bilingual fluency strictly required
[ KEY RESPONSIBILITIES ]
- Own full-lifecycle recruitment for all project positions: sourcing strategy, screening, interview coordination with technical leads, offer negotiation, and closing.
- Draft, negotiate, and administer individual contractor agreements; manage renewals, amendments, and terminations across the 18-month project timeline.
- Ensure contractor-engagement compliance across jurisdictions: classification, tax/withholding considerations, IP assignment, confidentiality, and data-protection clauses — coordinating with legal counsel and (where used) EOR/contractor-management platforms.
- Design and run global onboarding workflows: contracts, access provisioning coordination, project orientation, and cultural/communication norms for a distributed English-language team.
- Track recruiting metrics (pipeline velocity, source effectiveness, offer-acceptance, time-to-fill) and report hiring status to project leadership in both Japanese and English.
- Serve as the bridge between Japanese-speaking corporate stakeholders (HQ management, legal, finance) and the English-speaking global contractor team.
- Manage contractor relations: performance-feedback processes, dispute resolution, engagement pulse checks, and offboarding with proper knowledge transfer.
- Maintain accurate contractor records and documentation supporting audits and project governance.
[ WHAT WE OFFER ]
- A central role in applying satellite data and AI to real infrastructure challenges, with measurable social and environmental impact in Global South markets.
- Fully remote, cross-border collaboration with senior specialists across cloud, GeoAI, product, and design.
- Competitive contractor compensation commensurate with experience and scope.
- Direct exposure to earth-observation technology, including data ecosystems built with Japan's space agency (JAXA).
Tenchijin Inc. is an equal-opportunity organization. We evaluate all applicants on qualifications and merit, without regard to nationality, race, religion, gender, age, or disability.
