Japan

Our countries

At NN Life Japan, we proudly stand with Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs)—the driving force behind Japan’s economy, making up over 99% of all businesses nationwide.

Through our products and services, delivered via trusted agency partners, we are committed to supporting the growth and resilience of SMEs. But our support goes beyond insurance. We actively create opportunities for entrepreneurs and SME owners to connect, learn, and innovate.

With our headquarters in central Tokyo and 36 sales offices across the country, we are deeply rooted in local communities. Our strategic alliance with Sumitomo Life Insurance Company, one of Japan’s largest life insurers, enables us to continuously enhance our offerings and meet the evolving needs of our customers.

Together, we’re building a future where SMEs can thrive and realize their full potential.

We are diverse. Our colleagues are from over 30 countries, maintaining a high level of cultural diversity within NN Group. We have active D&I (Diversity & Inclusion) Club that is organised by voluntary employees with full support from managements to build an environment in which people feel welcome, valued and respected.

We offer many ways to connect across teams and learn from each other—through short-term exchange programs, open townhalls, Obeya sessions, volunteer activities, our buddy system, and more.

We provide various training and development opportunities, such as Data Literacy Programme, Campus Event, leadership programme, Udemy online courses, mentoring, coaching, position rotation, study assistance and more.

Open, Connected, and Empowered

At NN Life Japan, we foster a flat and open culture where everyone can share ideas freely—regardless of role or seniority. Our flexible office setup and informal events like the “Orange Bar”, where managers serve drinks, help spark new connections and conversations.

We actively listen to employee voices through surveys and encourage appreciation through our widely used “Thank You Card” system. Employees are also empowered to grow beyond their roles, with opportunities to join taskforces, take on internal side jobs, and contribute to broader company initiatives.

Here, your voice matters—and your initiative makes a difference.
