Job: In-House Translator at Nikko Asset Management (Tokyo)

JetWit job poster Stephen Palanik (Fukushima Ken, 2004-08) learned of the following in-house translation opportunity through the Honyaku E <> J Mailing List and thought it might be of interest to former JETs. Stephen is a translator based in Hamamatsu city, Shizuoka Ken, and he periodically posts job listings and event information for JET alumni.

Nikko Asset Management is currently looking for a J to E translator (native English) to work full time in-house at their Tokyo HQ location. Material to be translated includes analyst reports, formal letters, articles, contracts and ad hoc documents.

They are seeking an eager and forward-thinking professional. Prior finance translation experience is not necessary, but it is important to be interested in finance, writing, and language; to be experienced in translation in any industry; and to be a quick learner. The compensation is about 6 million yen base plus bonus.

Interview selection will be based on resumes and writing samples. Interested parties should e-mail their resume and a writing sample directly to Ken Cogger, or to the Nikko Asset Management careers e-mail address to apply. The first interview will also include a brief translation test. Note that Nikko Asset Management is NOT currently seeking freelance translators.
