ListenField

Like most companies operating in Japan, it would be helpful to know some Japanese, but the team uses English day-to-day so Japanese skills are not required.

We don't sponsor visas for candidates living outside of Japan currently.

ListenField’s PTO policy consists of annual paid leave following Japanese labor law.

The first year an employee joins, they’ll receive ten PTO days, plus Saturdays and Sundays and all Japanese public holidays off.

Each year the number of PTO days they’re granted will increase by one (e.g. 11 days granted in year 2) up to a maximum pursuant with Japan’s labor laws.

ListenField allows full remote work from anywhere in Japan (or in Thailand if you have a Thai visa). They already worked remotely before COVID-19 and they intend to continue doing so even if the pandemic subsides.

They may have occasional in-person meetings, but only once or twice per year. This is a unique perk since it means there are no geographic restrictions on where you live as long as it’s somewhere in Japan or Thailand.

ListenField is primarily focused on output rather than time spent, so they’re flexible about working hours.

Their Japan members may sometimes work directly with people in their Thailand office so they may have some meetings at night (e.g. 6:00 or 7:00PM) to accommodate this, but employees can generally work the hours that suit them best.

They don’t have specific core hours, and use a “discretionary labor system”.
