The History of ZENMARKET
Founded in 2014, four international students from Ukraine and Russia started in a room in the condominium. Currently, we have expanded to have offices in Honmachi, three bases in Suita City, Kadoma City, and Higashi Osaka, and are available in 14 languages. In addition, we are looking for members to work with us as we aim to speak more than 20 languages this year.
Our Mission "Japanese products to the world"
Japanese products are very popular all over the world, but many Japanese mail-order sites do not support overseas shipping, so it is not yet an environment where you can easily buy them. Therefore, we enter between overseas residents and Japanese mail order sites, purchase products from Japanese mail order sites on behalf of overseas people, and ship them overseas.

From Interviewer's EyesInterview with the current employees

Q1. Please tell us about your current job. What kind of place do you find rewarding?
Currently, I am in charge of customer support in Germany, and I am dealing with customers who use the German site. We respond to simple inquiries, respond to problems, manage operators in your language, train operators and new entrants, and support other languages as needed.
If you have a problem, we will resolve it quickly to your satisfaction, and if you are willing to receive a thank-you message, it will be rewarding. And if you run into a slightly more complicated problem, we will work with each department to find a solution.

Q2. Why did you decide to join ZenMarket?
I wanted to work for a company with foreign staff, and I wanted to connect domestically and internationally while making full use of my language skills. When I met ZenMarket, I felt that I could do a job that would lead to international affairs where I could use the language skills I wanted. And I found it very attractive that there are many foreign staff and support for diversity. As a result of the interview, despite the international environment, cooperation with each staff member is very important, and I felt an environment where I could develop my own experience and abilities, and I wanted to join the company. ..

Q3. What are the global points of ZenMarket?
I'm German, but I mainly use Japanese for customer support at work to get in touch with other departments. Use English or your native language when returning messages from you. Even within the company, the language used differs depending on the department and person, so I think that about 50% is used in English. There are many Japanese staff and foreign staff, so your favorite language will change depending on the person. Therefore, if there is an in-house presentation, we will announce it in both Japanese and English so that everyone can understand it. I think that foreign staff is about 60% of the whole company, but 90% of the customer support department is foreign staff. This is a department where you can make the most of your language skills.

Q4. Please tell us about the atmosphere and working style of the customer support department.
The customer support department has 90% foreign staff and is in a very bright environment. People from different countries can work together to learn about other cultures at any time. Since my boss is also kind, it is easy to ask questions and it is an environment where I can work efficiently. When I work, everyone works intensively, so it's an environment where I can go home on time almost every day. Of course, I work overtime when I need it, but I'm working hard so that everyone can go home early. You can get a salary without any problem when you want to return to Japan, so it is easy to balance your work-life balance.

Q5. What can ZenMarket be proud of?
ZenMarket is a diverse and highly international company. In the EC business, we are proud to be a very comfortable company, providing excellent services in multiple languages to many customers and respecting the opinions of each and every employee.
