Description

Position Overview As the Accounting Manager at the AI Robotics Association (AIRoA), you will lead the association’s overall accounting and management reporting functions. Your core responsibilities will include daily and monthly bookkeeping, managing payments and cash flows, and designing billing and reimbursement schemes for membership fees and project-related expenses. In addition, you will drive the planning and implementation of budgeting and budget control, the development of internal controls and accounting policies, and the selection and rollout of cloud-based accounting tools. Your mission is to design an accounting structure that fits AIRoA’s unique business model as an “open platform for AI and robotics.” 主な業務内容一般社団法人AIロボット協会（AIRoA）の経理マネージャーとして、協会全体の会計・経営管理機能をリードしていただきます。日次・月次の記帳、支払・入出金管理、会費・プロジェクト費用の請求／精算スキーム設計などが主な役割です。あわせて、予算策定・予実管理、内部統制や会計ポリシーの整備、クラウド会計ツール等の選定・導入を推進し、「AI×ロボットのオープンプラットフォーム」という独自の事業構造に合った経理体制を設計していただきます。【What Makes the “Accounting Manager” Role at AIRoA Unique】 This role allows you to design the “flow of money” for an organization that aims to build robotic foundation models and a data ecosystem through the fusion of AI and robotics. By structuring schemes that involve a wide range of stakeholders—member companies, research institutions, and national R&D projects—you will gain experience in accounting that differs from that of a typical operating company. You will be able to engage in open, peer-level discussions with stakeholders while feeling the direct impact of your work in supporting critical organizational decisions from a financial perspective. 【AIRoAの「経理マネージャー」の醍醐味】 AIとロボット技術の融合を通じて、ロボット基盤モデルとデータエコシステムづくりを目指す組織の「お金の流れ」をデザインできるポジションです。会員企業や研究機関、国の研究開発プロジェクトなど、多様なステークホルダーに関わるスキームの設計を通じて、通常の事業会社とは異なる経理の経験を積めます。ステークホルダーとフラットに意見を交わしつつ、組織の重要な判断を裏側から支える実感を持てる環境です。【The Appeal of Taking On This Challenge at AIRoA, Just as We Are Getting Started】 AIRoA was founded in December 2024 and began full-scale operations in FY2025. The organization is now entering a phase where it is building its foundational structures. While leveraging existing rules where appropriate, you will have the opportunity to design “what kind of accounting structure, revenue/cost model, and management indicators are needed to ensure the sustainable operation of the organization and its projects.” Although AIRoA operates in a cutting-edge domain—AI and robotics—the organization itself is still very much like a startup, with fast decision-making and a culture where your proposals can be quickly reflected in how the association is run. 【スタートを切ったばかりのAIRoAで挑戦する魅力】 AIRoAは2024年12月設立、2025年度から本格稼働した、まさにこれから基盤づくりを進めるフェーズです。既存ルールを活かしながらも「どんな会計構造・収支モデル・管理指標があれば、組織やプロジェクトが持続的に進行するのか」を組み立てられるのが魅力です。AI×ロボティクスという先端分野でありながら、組織そのものはまだベンチャー的環境のため、意思決定スピードも速く、自分の提案がダイレクトに運営に反映される実感が得られます。【About AIRoA】 AIRoA was established in December 2024 with two core objectives: “to revolutionize the technology of robot development through the fusion of robots and AI” and “to promote the use of robots in society.” While AI is rapidly advancing worldwide, the shortage of data in robot development has become a critical issue.To address this challenge, we are running a national flagship project funded by NEDO (New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization), with an investment of over JPY 20 billion. 【AIRoAの概要】「ロボットとAIの融合によってロボット開発の技術を革新すること」「社会におけるロボットの活用を推進すること」AIRoAは2024年12月に設立された組織であり、この2つの目的を掲げています。今、世界中でAIが急速に発展する一方、ロボット開発ではデータ不足が深刻です。私たちはNEDO（国立研究開発法人新エネルギー・産業技術総合開発機構）から200億円を超える出資による国家プロジェクトを進行しています。 ●Recruitment Background Since its establishment, AIRoA has continued to grow in scale, with a diverse range of participants including major corporations and startups, and multiple national projects now underway. As our project portfolio and business scope expand, our revenue and cost structure—covering membership fees, grants, and joint research funding—has become increasingly complex. This has created the need for a dedicated managerial role to provide professional leadership in accounting and management reporting. We are therefore seeking an Accounting Manager to play a key role in strengthening AIRoA’s operational and financial foundation. ●募集背景 AIRoAは設立以降、大手企業やスタートアップなど多様な企業が参画し、国家プロジェクトが進行するなど、事業規模とプロジェクト数が拡大しています。これに伴い、会費・助成金・共同研究費など収支構造が複雑化しており、経理・管理会計を専門的にリードできるマネージャーポジションが不可欠となりました。そこで今回、運営基盤の強化を担っていただける「経理マネージャー」を募集します。 ●Future Mission In this role, you will lead the standardization of accounting workflows and closing processes, as well as the development of reporting frameworks and profit-and-loss management by membership type and by project. Over the medium to long term, your mission will be to formulate mid-term financial plans aligned with AIRoA’s overall strategy, design financial strategies that take into account diverse funding sources such as grants, donations, and joint research funds, and drive the advancement of risk management and internal controls across the association. ●将来的なミッション会計処理フローや決算プロセスの標準化、会費・プロジェクト別の収支管理やレポーティング体制の構築をリードしていただきます。中長期的には、協会全体の事業戦略と連動した中期収支計画の策定、グラント・寄付・共同研究費など多様な資金源を見据えた財務戦略の立案、リスクマネジメントと内部統制の高度化がミッションです。 Required Qualifications: 5+ years of hands-on accounting experience at a company or organization Proven experience leading monthly and annual closing as the primary owner Experience in management accounting, including budgeting and budget vs. actual (variance) management Solid knowledge of accounting standards and tax basics, with the ability to independently communicate and coordinate with external experts (tax accountants / audit firms) Mindset to proactively build and improve processes in a venture / early-stage environment 【必須要件】事業会社または団体での経理実務経験（目安：5年以上）月次・年次決算を主担当としてリードしたご経験予算策定・予実管理など管理会計領域に関わったご経験会計基準や税務の基礎知識を有し、専門家（税理士・監査法人）と自走してやり取りできる方ベンチャー／立ち上げフェーズでの仕組みづくりに前向きに取り組める方 Preferred Qualifications: Experience in accounting/finance at a general incorporated association, industry association, NPO, or similar organization Experience handling multiple funding schemes such as grants, joint research funds, and donations Experience implementing cloud-based accounting software and workflow systems, as well as improving business processes Strong interest in technology domains such as AI, robotics, and deep learning Comfortable communicating in English via email and written documents (as we anticipate collaboration with overseas research institutions) 【歓迎要件】一般社団法人や業界団体、NPO等での会計・経理経験助成金・共同研究費・寄付金など、複数の資金スキームを扱ったご経験クラウド会計ソフト・ワークフローシステム導入や業務プロセス改善のご経験 AI／ロボティクス、ディープラーニングなどテクノロジー領域への高い関心英語でのメールや資料ベースのコミュニケーションに抵抗のない方（海外研究機関との連携を視野に入れているため） Language Skills Japanese (native level) English (business level or above) 【語学力】日本語（ネイティブレベル）英語（ビジネスレベル以上） ●Work location Tokyo Ryutsu Center A Bldg.

In this space, our business teams and engineering teams work in close collaboration, advancing both day-to-day operations and R&D with AI robots always close at hand. The facility is frequently visited not only by members of the AI Robot Association, but also by engineers and researchers from partner companies and representatives from member companies. As a result, it serves as a hub where diverse experts at the forefront of AI and robotics gather and interact. ●オフィス紹介私たちは現在、流通センター内に300坪を超える広大なオフィス兼研究施設を構えています。この空間では、AIロボットをすぐそばに感じながら、ビジネスチームとエンジニアチームが密接に連携し、日々の業務と研究開発を進めています。施設には、AIロボット協会のメンバーだけでなく、協力企業の技術者や研究者、会員企業の方々も頻繁に訪れます。そのため、AIやロボティクスの最前線で活躍する多様な専門家が集う場となっています。 ●Your Colleagues Today, highly skilled engineers and researchers from around the world are part of our organization.
