noun
one's business; one's duties
Refers to the nature or scope of one's work, often used in contexts like discussing job suitability or describing what one does for a living.
彼は勤め向きが合わなくて、すぐに辞めてしまった。
The nature of the job didn't suit him, so he quit right away.
勤め向きは主に経理です。
My duties are mainly accounting.
仕事 is the general word for work or a job. 勤め向き is more specific, emphasizing the nature or duties of one's employment, and is less common in everyday conversation.
Compound of 勤め (tsutome, 'work, service') and 向き (muki, 'direction, suitability'). The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the combination naturally yields the meaning 'the direction/nature of one's work'.
