About This Role

This DE&I Executive role involves providing backend support for HiNext and Hitachi Academy while implementing and monitoring diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives worldwide.

  • Proficient in PowerPoint, able to design engaging presentations and reports that clearly communicate complex DE&I data and initiatives to diverse audiences.
  • Analytical thinker with proven problem-solving skills, capable of interpreting complex DE&I metrics and translating them into actionable recommendations.
  • Excellent communicator who can effectively convey insights and build stakeholder buy-in for DE&I programs across a global organization.
