Of 13 real openings, 10 sit in CIC Offices (campus roles plus HR, marketing, finance and IT), 1 in Venture Café Global Institute, and 2 Founder's Associate roles have no department. General Interest Submissions (opened 2018) is a standing pool and is not counted. The company record supplied (cic.fr, a French bank) does not match these postings, which are for CIC's innovation campuses, so it was not used.

If you're applying: The Japan Desk Coordinator (Cambridge, MA) is the only role that explicitly lists Japanese proficiency. The extracted Tokyo requirements don't name a language, but the HR Director role requires Japanese labor law and work rules (shugyo kisoku), so check each full posting. Warsaw events roles need Polish: the Events Specialist lists Fluent Polish, and the Events Support Coordinator posting is written in Polish. None of the roles are remote.
If you're selling or recruiting: CIC Offices has 10 of 13 real openings, including 4 in Tokyo and 3 in Warsaw. There were 3 new roles in the last 30 days, the same as the prior 30, and no closures. Recruiters: the director-level searches are HR Director Japan & Korea, Marketing Director (Tokyo) and Director, Venture Cafe London, alongside the General Manager role in Cambridge ($225,000–$275,000). Sales: the Warsaw events roles cover AV (microphones, projectors, sound, lighting); the Japan IT role lists Zero Trust, SASE, Nagios, Zabbix and GCP/AWS/Azure; Tokyo marketing lists HubSpot and marketing automation. CIC sells event space itself, so venue sellers are competitors, not buyers.
