Why We Hire


The Rakuten Travel Experiences business is in a phase of rapid growth, driven by the recovery of tourism demand post-COVID-19 and the revitalization of the inbound market.

To achieve this goal, strengthening the Business Development team, which is responsible for acquiring attractive suppliers and driving business promotion, is essential.


We welcome individuals who are not looking for routine work, but who possess significant discretion and responsibility, view business growth as their own, and are eager to build the future together.

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


By leveraging Rakuten Group's strong brand power, vast membership base, and collaboration with its diverse services, it is possible to develop the business with an overwhelming competitive advantage that other companies do not possess.
