Part-Time Operations Associate (English speaker)

Hi there!

We're Ichiba Japan, an ecommerce business connecting Japan's unique anime culture with customers worldwide. Our cozy office is based in Osaka, near Temmabashi Station. We're looking for a part-time team member to join us on this exciting journey.

Let's get into the details

🕒 Work hours

10:00 AM to 2:00 PM or 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM, Monday to Friday (20h per week)

💼 Responsibilities

Your main tasks will be parcel preparation: packing small, adorable products (think plushies!) to ship to our global customers.

✨ About you

No qualification required. We'll provide all the guidance you need! However, we do ask that you are:

English speaker with conversational level.
A non-smoker (our products, like plushies, are sensitive to odors).
In good physical condition, since the job involves a lot of moving around, bending to access low shelves, and occasionally using a step stool to reach higher inventory.

👍 It's a plus

Although not required, it would be fantastic if you:

Are familiar with the Japanese anime universe 🇯🇵.
Have experience in parcel preparation or shipping logistics.
Are good at administrative tasks and organization.

💰 Salary

It's non-negotiable, no need to bring out your calculator!

Starting at 1,300 JPY/hour + transportation covered up to 25,000 JPY/month

🏢 The workplace

Our office isn't your typical cold warehouse. It's a comfortable, cozy space equipped with:

Heating and air conditioning.
Modern furniture.
Relaxing music to keep the vibes just right.
Complimentary tea and coffee to give you a kick-start or enjoy during a short 5-minute break.

We're a small but passionate team that values a friendly, supportive work environment.

🚀 How to apply

If this sounds like your kind of job, we'd love to hear from you! Send us your resume and a short introduction about yourself and why you would be a good fit, and we'll get back to you ASAP.

A resume with a photo is appreciated (standard in Japan).

Requirement: A residence status valid for at least 7 more months that allows general work in Japan (e.g., Permanent Resident, Spouse visa, Long-Term Resident, Working Holiday, or Student with work permission). Field-specific work visas (e.g., Specialist in Humanities) are not eligible.

Due to the high volume of applications, only complete applications meeting this condition will receive a reply.
