Job Description

Department Overview

We are a fashion focused e-commerce site, Rakuten Fashion.

Rakuten Ichiba is a mall-type business that provides a platform for stores to sell their products, on contrast to Rakuten Fashion, which is a direct sales-type business where Rakuten selects and buys brands and products on its own, and handles marketing, sales, shipping, and customer support.

This is the site that selects products from Japan's major select stores and brands, and focuses on popular and well-known brands such as nano・universe, URBAN RESEARCH, BEAMS, snidel, and GLOBAL WORK.

The number of international brands has been increasing in the last few years.

As a business, we are trying to achieve very high mid-term goals and are continuing to make large investments in the following areas.

Promote the development of loyal customers through the development and enhancement of smartphone applications.
Promote the acquisition of new customers through continuous mass marketing such as TV commercials.
Strengthen the system platform to enhance service quality.

Joining this growing business expansion period while leveraging the synergies of the entire Rakuten Group (members, points, etc.), which is our overwhelming strength, will provide you with the opportunity to realize the impact of your work on the industry and society, as well as the opportunity to grow yourself along with the expansion of the business.

In addition, since you will be involved in the transformation of the entire value chain of a major fashion EC retailer, you will be able to significantly grow in the breadth and depth of your knowledge and experience.

You will have the opportunity to participate in the business expansion phase of Rakuten's fastest growing business, to feel the impact of your work on the industry and society, and to grow as the business expands.

Furthermore, the Rakuten Group continues to achieve high growth in many of its businesses, and career opportunities are constantly available.

You will be able to develop your career in various businesses in the future.
