Background

About Junko Tanaka

I’m a bilingual HR Manager with over 10 years of experience in the tech industry, overseeing HR, labor relations, general affairs, and internal IT management. Currently, I lead all back-office operations at a legal-tech startup, building a reliable and flexible HR foundation that balances labor-law compliance with employee engagement. Key strengths and achievements: • Operate payroll and social-insurance procedures fully in-house without relying on external labor consultants. • Develop and revise employment regulations and internal policies, strengthening compliance for IPO readiness. • Standardized the offer-to-onboarding process, reducing administrative time and cost by about 50 %. • Manage HR data through tools such as Workday, Microsoft 365, and Google Workspace. • Lead cross-functional projects and engagement initiatives that enhance communication and organizational trust. With high integrity and a calm, balanced approach, I’ve earned trust from both management and employees while maintaining stable operations in fast-changing environments. I’m currently pursuing the PRINCE2 Practitioner certification (Foundation passed in Jan 2024) and continuing to strengthen my skills in cloud and IT administration. My focus is to keep advancing HR and organizational operations that enable every employee to work with confidence and perform at their best.
