    I currently work as a member of Technical Operation team at Ve Japan, an affiliate of Ve Interactive for the territory towards Japan/Australia/NewZealand/Korea, which provides solutions for various websites to prevent their customers from abandonments. The team of Technical Operation takes charge of all processes of integrating our services to our clients’ websites or web services. To name a few of my team’s processes, our team analyzes the structures of websites, issues JavaScript tags that will be set in the websites, designs drafts of advertisement creatives, and tests that the creatives work properly in the websites. In addition to our normal processes, our team also contacts clients a lot via e-mails, phones, and actually at their offices.

    The position requires from me flexibility and patience when I explain our company’s services to clients (as you may know, not everyone in the world knows well about how Web works, JavaScript behaves, etc!), when I make the clients’ campaigns successful with colleagues of different positions such as sales, and when I have to investigate problems such as not showing creatives properly in the websites. To summarize, I need abilities to understand and digest technical knowledge and then to deliver those information and skills correctly to whomever is not very much familiar with technology (I’m like a “bridge” from technology to people.)

    The undergraduate education that I received at Saint Michael’s College truly is the foundation for my success at Ve Interactive. Thinking analytically, logically, and critically which I learned in Mathematics supports me when I communicate with clients and colleagues and when I create technical documents for my company. How websites work, how JavaScript realizes specific operations on websites, and how background systems and front-end systems interact when the campaigns are on live which I learned in Computer Science supports me to deliver daily tasks in my team. Double majoring in Mathematics and Computer Science very best matches to my current position.

    My company was just founded in Japan and is growing rapidly day by day. There are numerous styles of working in Japan. Working in such a growing company is challenging but every day is very exciting. If you want to know more about working in Japan or want to spend your days in the exciting and fascinating environment with colleagues/clients from all over the world, please contact me at ryota.ishisaka at veinteractive dot com.
