Echigo Showman is a company that produces and nurtures a wide range of businesses while overseeing holistic placemaking initiatives, in close collaboration with local partner companies and independent entrepreneurs.
Within this structure, the Administration & Operations Manager plays a vital role in supporting the entire organisation through people, finance, and operational systems.
In this role, you will take the lead in:
Human Resources: recruitment, onboarding, and team development
Finance & Accounting: budgeting, financial performance tracking, cash flow management, accounting system input, and support for closing accounts, working closely with management and business teams
General Administration: managing the head office facilities and building the operational foundation that supports daily business activities
Looking ahead, there may also be opportunities to become involved in front-facing roles, such as business and event promotion, Common Place projects, and service businesses including vacation rental management.
This is a broad, hands-on position where you are not confined by predefined boundaries. You will help shape newly launched businesses from the ground up, contributing directly to how the company grows and operates.
One of the greatest attractions of this role is the ability to experience — at close range — how multiple businesses grow rapidly during the company’s early-stage phase. By continuously asking, “How can we make the company better?” and turning ideas into systems and actions, you will gain experience that significantly accelerates your own professional growth.
This is a highly rewarding role for someone who wants to build a company alongside the management team, sharing the same perspective and sense of responsibility.
