Yamaguchi, Japan
Iโm a bilingual Customer Support Specialist with experience supporting customers in both Japanese and English through structured, SOP-driven support environments. My main strength is handling customer inquiries clearly, professionally, and patiently while following internal workflows and quality standards. I have experience with Zendesk, ticket-based support, escalation handling, troubleshooting, refund-related cases, and communicating with customers in a way that is both accurate and easy to understand. I also bring prior sales experience in Japan, where I consistently achieved strong results by understanding customer needs, building trust, and communicating value clearly. This helps me approach customer support not only as issue resolution, but also as relationship-building and customer experience improvement. Through frontline support work, Iโve developed an interest in how better workflows, clearer documentation, and stronger ticket quality can help teams reduce recurring issues and support customers more consistently. I enjoy identifying patterns in customer inquiries, clarifying root causes, and breaking down complex issues into simple, step-by-step explanations. My strengths include: โข Japanese and English customer support โข Zendesk and ticket-based support โข Email and chat support โข Troubleshooting and escalation handling โข SOP-driven workflows โข Refund and account-related support โข Customer relationship-building โข Clear written communication โข Root-cause thinking and process awareness Iโm interested in remote roles related to Customer Support, Technical Support, Support Operations, and platform-based services where I can help customers solve problems while continuing to grow my skills in workflow improvement and customer operations.

I help international SMEs and founders understand the Japanese market, identify practical entry paths, and avoid costly cultural or operational missteps. Japan is not impossible โ it is structured. Many market-entry challenges happen before execution: unclear positioning, misaligned pricing, weak customer communication, cultural misunderstanding, or operational gaps between overseas teams and Japan. I support clients with: โข Japan market feasibility review โข Pricing and positioning feedback โข Japanese customer expectations and trust factors โข Cultural and communication risk assessment โข Review of landing pages, emails, and customer flows โข First-step execution planning for Japan I am not a generic translator or virtual assistant. My role is to help you understand how your product, message, or customer experience may be perceived in Japan โ and what should be adjusted before investing more time and budget. I currently support Japan-side operations for a Switzerland-based company, contributing to monthly sales exceeding JPY 10M and assisting with customer communication, subsidiary coordination, and cross-border operational alignment. My background includes cross-border operations, culturally sensitive high-value products, Japanese customer insight, and decision support between overseas leadership and the Japanese market. I work especially well with European and Australian teams, and I can also support US-based companies when the project can be handled asynchronously. If you are seriously evaluating Japan, I can help you clarify the right first move.

My professional background spans over 15 years of administrative and customer-facing experience across diverse settings โ from a medical university and corporate companies to my current role as a clinic administrator and assistant to the clinic director. Throughout these roles, I have developed strong organizational skills, professional communication, and the ability to adapt to different work environments and client needs. In addition, I have one year of experience providing telephone counseling support, which strengthened my ability to listen actively, communicate with empathy, and respond thoughtfully in sensitive situations. I also have experience participating in Japanese voice recording, conversational recording, and AI data collection projects. These projects strengthened my ability to follow detailed guidelines, maintain consistency, and deliver accurate, high-quality work. Together, these experiences have shaped me into a dependable professional who values accuracy, clear communication, and consistent results. As your Virtual Assistant, I can support you with: โข Japanese customer support (email, chat, and phone communication) โข Administrative assistance and coordination โข Scheduling and calendar management โข Data entry and document management โข Online research โข Japanese-English communication support โข AI-assisted workflow support and task organization I actively utilize AI tools to improve efficiency and streamline workflows, allowing me to adapt quickly to modern remote work environments. My English is at a working proficiency level (B1), and I am comfortable handling written business communication and routine correspondence. I am dependable, organized, detail-oriented, and committed to providing high-quality support. If you are looking for a reliable Japanese-speaking Virtual Assistant to support your customers, clients, or administrative operations, I would be happy to work with you.

Kashiwa, Japan
Hi, my name is Ken :) I am a highly motivated and customer-centric support specialist with 4.5 years of experience working for one of the worldโs largest music streaming apps. Through supporting users across various platforms, I gained strong troubleshooting skills for apps and a wide range of devices. This experience also taught me how to communicate effectively with customers of different ages, backgrounds, and levels of technical understanding. I have handled support through chat, email, social media, and internal community tools, giving me a solid ability to adapt quickly to new systems and workflows. Because my role was fully remote, I am well-versed in data privacy, security protocols, and responsible handling of sensitive information. Iโm confident that my communication skills, technical troubleshooting ability, and adaptability will make me a valuable asset to your team. โ Customer Success โ After my Customer Support role, I spent 2025 working in Customer Success for a new AI-based cooking coaching service, supporting Japanese customers. In this role, I helped users navigate the service smoothly, guided them on how to use the platform effectively, and ensured they could achieve the best coaching results. I also handled regular support tasks and resolved issues related to usability or user confusion. Because the product was still in its early stage, I frequently encountered AI misbehavior, system instability, and unexpected bugs. This taught me to identify issues quickly, communicate them clearly, and work with the team to improve the overall support structure. Through this experience, I gained valuable hands-on skills in startup-style operations and continuous improvement. โ About me โ Outside of work, cooking and going to the gym are a big part of my lifestyle. I love discovering new dishes on social media and challenging myself to recreate them. Spending time with my child on my days off is my biggest source of relaxation. Iโm naturally curious and enjoy learning new things. Recently, Iโve been practicing drawing and trying to improve my skills, especially in cartoon-style art. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you :)
