Asset Management - Renewable Energy

Interested in starting a career in renewable energy?

Our client is looking for an asset manager to join their growing solar energy business.

You will be joining a friendly team in a low stress environment, where everyone is trusted to manage their own schedules and get the job done.

You will be a part of a start-up style work environment that allows you to contribute and grow as the company grows, with opportunities to collaborate across teams.

The office is located within 5 minutes’ walk of three Tokyo Metro stations with hybrid work available after 3 months of on the job training.

Key responsibilities are handling documentation and contracts with financial institutions, so experience in the renewable energy industry is not required, as the focus is on the skillset and drive you bring to the organization.

Native-level Japanese (reading and writing essential); English proficiency is nice to have.
