Job Description:
Business Overview
Rakuten is Japan's largest marketplace and Internet ecosystem, offering a wide range of more than 70 services, including e-commerce, travel, banking, fintech, food delivery, golf, insurance, instant messaging, and mobile networking. Rakuten offers more than 140 services worldwide, of which Communications & Energy Company is the division that operates the cell phone business and other telecommunications and electric energy-related businesses.
Please see below for a list of Communications & Energy Company's services*.
Department Overview
As a retail electricity provider of the Rakuten Group, Rakuten Electricity provides "Rakuten Denki," an electricity service for general households, and "Rakuten Gas," a city gas service. Rakuten Electricity is expanding its services to become the No. 1 new electric power company by providing a safe, convenient, and affordable experience close to its users.
The service features a simple design with a basic charge of zero yen and a single metered charge based on the amount of electricity used, instead of the complicated and difficult electricity rate plans of the past. The service allows customers to receive Rakuten points based on their electricity bills and to pay their electricity bills with the points.
Furthermore, the digitization of the energy field is expected to continue in the future, including the digitization of electricity meters, the development of mobile communication technology, and the spread of IoT and AI. With the spread of distributed power resources such as solar power generation, storage batteries, and electric vehicles, virtual power plants (VPPs) can be used to control and optimize power supply and demand, bundle power sources generated by each household, and mutually trade power. I can also imagine a future where this is done. Against this backdrop, we aim to establish a new power platform by leveraging Rakuten Group's IT technology and big data.
The Supply and Demand Planning Team is a core organisation that supports the stable and efficient operation of the electricity business. It promotes overall supply and demand operations, including the formulation of budgets and procurement policies related to electricity procurement, institutional responses, and performance monitoring.
Electricity supply and demand accounts for the majority of business costs, and this position involves planning for optimal electricity supply and demand while closely monitoring the external environment.
Position:
Why We Hire
In addition to filling vacancies, we are looking for people who can play a central role in the team with a view to further improving our operations in the future.
