会社概要Company profile We are a listed company that operates a press release distribution platform used by over 65,000 companies, with more than 50% of listed companies using it and monthly site access exceeding 58 million PV. It is used by a wide range of users, including corporate public relations staff, members of the media, and general consumers. Our mission is "Toward an era in which information from those who act moves people's hearts." We aim to be a platform where anyone can publish information, readers can enjoy information, and the platform simultaneously functions as a social information infrastructure. We also plan to expand globally, centered on English-speaking regions, especially the United States, within fiscal year 2022.
仕事内容Job description Within the Development Department, which is responsible for product development at PR TIMES Co., Ltd., we are recruiting Engineering Manager candidates (hereinafter "EM candidates") who will work on resolving organizational challenges and strengthening development infrastructure through talent development. Many technical challenges lie ahead, and as a development department we are currently focused on improving service quality from the customer's perspective, optimizing development speed, and raising the technical skills of each engineer who supports this. We are looking for colleagues who share this direction and will build a strong development department together.
【About PR TIMES】https://prtimes.jp/
Since launching in 2007, the press release distribution service "PR TIMES" has accumulated 120,000 client companies, is used by over 65% of publicly listed companies in Japan, and distributes an average of 2,000 press releases to society each day.
We have set the mission "Toward an era where information from those who take action moves people's hearts," and we believe that society moves forward through the accumulation of actions taken by each person who supports it, and that PR has the power to change who takes center stage in the news and to move society.
You may feel this is already a mature service. However, as a social information infrastructure, there is still large room for growth in usage, including across every region in Japan and demand for overseas distribution. Although we are a Prime-listed company, we are in a phase of pioneering uncharted territory.
##Background of Recruitment
Amid the current trend of the AI era, PR TIMES continues to pursue its mission while flexibly changing its own way of being. Under our medium-term management target "Milestone 2030," we aim for operating profit of 70億円 in FY2030, and we have announced the full-scale launch of expanded support across the entire PR value chain and overseas expansion starting from North America. To achieve this ambitious goal, establishing a safe and sustainable system foundation is important, and strengthening the development organization's foundation is essential. Currently, there are many issues with high potential leverage, such as technically challenging projects and talent development to discover the next generation of leaders.
At present, one Director of Development (VPoE) and 2 EMs (EM2名) are responsible for management. However, to further accelerate development speed and the creation of systems that allow each engineer to fully demonstrate their abilities, we need colleagues who will also take on the task of strengthening the organizational foundation together.
We are looking for Engineering Manager candidates who will realize our mission "Toward an era where information from those who take action moves people's hearts" through the power of technology, and who will enjoy leading the organization together during the growth phase in which PR TIMES pioneers uncharted territory.
