Organization Performance & Development Specialist

Job Description

ispace is looking for the Organization Performance & Development Specialist to join our growing team in Tokyo.
We are a Japan-based company expanding globally in the space industry—an industry with few precedents and no established playbooks.
The Organization Performance & Development Specialist is responsible for building an environment where employees can learn, grow, and perform at their best, with Learning & Development as the core focus, complemented by Employee Support and Performance Coaching from the perspectives of dialogue, relationships, and engagement.
This role is not about simply operating training programs or HR systems. Working closely with business, organizational, and corporate strategies, you will take end-to-end ownership of:
• Defining the talent and skills truly required for business growth in a specialized field
• Designing and deploying how those capabilities are developed and embedded within the organization
• Creating an environment where learning and meaningful dialogue occur naturally
