Summary

After joining Anderson Mori & Tomotsune international law firm, I worked mainly as an in-house help desk for about three years, mainly assisting English-speaking users in domestic and international branches with IT-related troubleshooting, IT equipment management, online meetings, and due date support. I learned the business quickly and was selected as a team leader within six months. As a leader, I made efforts to visualize operations and improve the efficiency of the workflow by creating manuals for tasks that had been ambiguous until then. I also contributed to the enhancement of in-house IT services targeting English-speaking users by making use of my English ability, which is one of my strengths.

I then joined Burton Japan LLC, where I was in charge of IT infrastructure operation and management, user support, and equipment and account management. I participated in a project led by the U.S. headquarters, and shortly after joining the company, I served as the project leader for the Japan branch of the help desk unification project, working closely with the U.S. headquarters to lead the project through to its launch. Also, coordinating the installation of remote access software used at the U.S. headquarters in Japan, thereby reducing the need for on-site support, increasing the number of cases handled, and improving efficiency.
In addition, we standardized the IT environment and rules, which had been inadequately maintained, to reinforce IT service controls. In addition, lectures and manuals were created to raise user awareness of IT security, contributing to an increase in security training pass rates.

IT Help Desk Technician

Anderson Mori And Tomotsune
10.2020 - 03.2024

Participated in a project to launch an English version of the help desk, which didn't exist before, and was in charge of creating English scenarios and evaluating the personnel who would be handling it in English. Also, after the service was launched, I conducted interviews with users to identify problems and contributed to the provision of better services.
As a leader of the team, created the flow of inventory management and operational manuals. Translated existing manuals into English and provided lectures for English users. When an incident occurred, I escalated the situation as necessary, but I also took immediate action and proposed preventive measures as much as possible.
In support of conferences, I was the first IT staff member in the office to be appointed to an international arbitration trial held both overseas and remotely, which allowed me to use my English skills to procure equipment for the trial, check the network, and attend rehearsals and the actual trial.
