The Role

This position sits within a people-focused function supporting a large-scale data curation and mapping project. Youll play a key role in ensuring the accuracy, organization, and integrity of employee data while partnering closely with internal stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

• Support ongoing HR data mapping and curation projects
• Accurately input, organize, and maintain employee data across systems
• Identify and resolve duplicate or inconsistent data entries
• Assist with data validation and quality control efforts
• Work with Japanese-language data when needed (e.g., extracting and standardizing names into English formats)
• Partner with internal teams and external stakeholders to ensure alignment and accuracy
• Contribute to broader process improvement and data integrity initiatives

What Were Looking For

• Working proficiency with Japanese (particularly written) and comfort using it in a professional setting is required
• Strong attention to detail and organizational skills
• Ability to handle sensitive information with discretion and maturity
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Comfortable working across time zones and with global teams
• Positive, proactive attitude with a willingness to learn

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with HR systems or data management processes
• Prior experience working with Japanese-language documents or data

Why This Role

• High visibility within a top-tier financial services environment
• Opportunity to work on a meaningful, long-term data initiative
• Exposure to global teams and cross-functional collaboration
• Strong mentorship and development within a structured team
