Tokyo Rakuten
Job Description

Department Overview

Rakuten Travel Experiences is an online booking service specializing in activities and experiences.

Since its launch in December 2021, it has offered a wide range of activities both domestically and internationally, including theme park tickets, unique experiences, and classic popular activities.

This business aims to create travel excitement through experiences.

Position

Why We Hire


In recent years, traveler's needs have significantly shifted from "things" to "experiences", with "experiential tourism" – seeking unique local activities – gaining global attention.

Especially after the pandemic, domestic travel demand has steadily recovered, and with the full-scale resumption of inbound tourism (international visitors to Japan), the experiential tourism market is entering an unprecedented period of growth.


Amidst this favorable environment, Rakuten Travel Experiences is rapidly expanding its business to provide customers with the best experiences and maximize the appeal of local regions.

Currently, a small but dedicated team is driving this growth.

However, due to a temporary leave of absence for maternity, we are now recruiting new team members to strengthen our operational structure.


We aim to seize this significant opportunity, and through the unique "experiences" only the Rakuten Group can offer, further invigorate Japan's tourism industry.

Appeal of Business/Organizational Phase

We are in a dynamic business phase, leading the rapidly growing "experiential tourism" market. You will have the exciting opportunity to build the business with your own hands in a fast-changing environment.

Because we operate as a lean, elite team, you will have abundant opportunities to be involved in a wide range of tasks, experiencing the overall business movement firsthand.

Appeal of Discretion and Organizational Culture

As a small team, a key characteristic is the significant individual autonomy you'll have.

You won't just be completing assigned tasks; you'll be able to proactively engage in everything from identifying current issues to proposing improvements and executing solutions.

Our environment encourages new challenges, brimming with opportunities to actively voice your ideas and opinions and see them realized.

Career Steps (Acquirable Skills and Career Paths)


Working in an environment where you can oversee the entire business will dramatically improve your comprehensive business skills, including not only customer service expertise but also problem-solving abilities, planning/proposal skills, and execution capabilities.

In the future, we actively support career advancement to management positions, or transfers to other departments such as service planning, marketing, or partner relations, depending on your aspirations and aptitudes.

Experiencing the launch phase of a rapidly growing business offers invaluable career development, allowing you to gain firsthand knowledge of business development know-how.

Differentiation from competitors (attractiveness derived from this business × Rakuten Group's resources)


We have the potential to expand our business through multifaceted approaches by collaborating with diverse services within the group, such as Rakuten Travel.

In customer support as well, by utilizing the knowledge and tools of the entire Rakuten Group, we aim to provide even higher quality, safer, and more secure services to both customers and partners.

In this position, you will proactively engage in supporting users who have booked experiences through Rakuten Travel Experiences and our suppliers.
