Another Works Launches New Office in Osaka

Another Works, a company that operates the side work matching platform "Side Work Cloud," has announced the opening of its new Osaka office in Osaka City, starting operations on November 1, 2025. This new location serves as the company’s second sales base, following its headquarters in Tokyo, and aims to reinforce support for companies and municipalities in the Kansai region. With a vision to maximize opportunities for all those who want to challenge themselves, the opening of the Osaka office marks a crucial step in accelerating the implementation of side work across Japan.

Background of Osaka Office Opening

Since its inception in May 2019, Another Works has been firmly committed to making side work a common practice in the workforce. The concept of having multiple places of employment has grown significantly, enabling individuals to achieve various objectives like financial rewards, skills improvement, career advancement, and self-realization. The company’s main service, the "Side Work Cloud," has amassed an impressive total of over 100,000 registered talents, 2,500 corporate clients, and 250 municipalities utilizing the platform in just seven years. The continued rise in the number of freelance and side work professionals reflects a broader acceptance of this working style during a time when Japan faces a declining labor population.

To further promote this trend, Another Works established its Osaka office, with hopes to provide valuable support to all stakeholders—including individuals, corporations, and municipal organizations. This aligns with their goal of creating a society where side work is the norm and not the exception.
