Roles and Responsibility

HR div Recruitment & PR Groupでの募集です。

当社は、将棋AIの開発を通じて蓄積された深層学習を含む機械学習手法を固有のコア技術とし、BtoCゲームアプリ開発から、BtoBのAIソリューションおよびSaaSプロダクト開発まで、多岐にわたる事業展開を行っています。

Stable DiffusionやChat GPTなどの生成系AIの登場で、さらに注目されるAI業界は今、既存のAI企業のみならず、大手企業からベンチャー企業・スタートアップ企業まで多くの企業が新規参入しています。

この激化するビジネス競争において、広報活動は当社の技術力や事例を世の中にアピールする上で最も重要な役割を担います。

当社の70名の社員のうち、およそ半数はAIに特化するエンジニアであり、またそのひとりひとりが会社の理念である「尖る」を体現する素晴らしいメンバーです。そういった個性あふれる社員の仕事にもっとスポットを当てて、一人でも多くの方に届けたいという思いがあります。

当社は複数の事業を展開している中で、今後B2B事業を軸に企業成長を目指しています。そのB2B事業の成長に寄与するPR/コミュニケーション活動を加速させていきます。各事業のビジネスターゲットに、当社や各事業を認知・理解していただくための、PR/メディアリレーション活動を推進していただく広報担当を募集します。まだまだ組織として定型化されているPR業務は少なく、自らのPRへの考えを会社全体の活動にも反映できるフェーズですので、主体的な活動ができる環境です。

具体的にお任せしたいこと

・各事業/プロダクトの広報実行
・コーポレートコミュニケーションの実行
・メディアリレーションズ
・各種問い合わせ、取材対応
・プレスリリースの企画、作成、配信
・各種調査や、社内向けのインターナルイベントの企画運営

入社後はご経験やご希望に合わせながら、記載の業務に限らず幅広いグループ横断プロジェクトを推進いただきたいと考えております。

ポジションの魅力

以下の環境をフルに活用し、主体的に広報活動をできることが魅力だと捉えております。

・会社を成長させるという強い意思の元、自由度の高い働き方（フレックス・リモート可）で裁量をもって挑戦できる
・3年継続することでさえ難しいと言われるスマートフォンゲームで10年以上継続的に利益を出し続け、700万人のユーザー様に親しまれる将棋ゲーム事業を持っている
・将棋ゲーム事業で培ったAIのノウハウ。ただ優れたAIではなく、ビジネスに本当に活用できるAIは何かを実例で話せるコンサルタントやエンジニアが豊富に在籍
・話題のChatGPTをはじめとした生成AI技術に対しても、ビジネスで活用するための検証実験にスピーディに着手し新規プロダクトを開発。

共に働く人、チームについて

HR div Recruitment & PR Groupは、グループマネージャー1名、採用メンバー2名、広報メンバー１名の3名体制で活動しています。リモートワークの割合が多いですが、オンラインでの交流会が多く、日ごろから議論が活発で、お互いの意見を尊重しつつ、技術や組織作りなどに関してもグループを越え、皆が積極的に議論に参加しています。これからも活発なコミュニケーションを崩さず、それぞれの個性を活かし、会社だけではなく、皆が成長できる場を提供し続けたいと思っています。

  • Continued profitability for over 10 years in the smartphone game industry, particularly in the Shogi game business, which is enjoyed by 7 million users
  • Abundance of AI know-how gained through the Shogi game business, with consultants and engineers who can provide real examples of how AI can be effectively utilized in business
  • Active engagement in verification experiments for cutting-edge generative AI technologies like ChatGPT, leading to the development of new products

  About the Team:

  The HR Division Recruitment & PR Group consists of one group manager, two recruitment members, and one PR member, totaling three members. While remote work is common, we have many online social events. Discussions are lively, and members actively participate in discussions across groups, respecting each other's opinions on topics related to technology and organizational development. We aim to continue facilitating active communication, utilizing individual strengths, and providing a space for everyone to grow, not only as a company but also as individuals.
