Job Description:
Business Overview
Rakuten Group's mission is to "contribute to society by creating value through innovation and entrepreneurship." We provide over 70 services across a wide range of fields, including internet services such as e-commerce, travel, and digital content; FinTech services like credit cards, banking, securities, e-money, and cashless payments; mobile services including mobile carrier services; and professional sports. By seamlessly linking these services through our Rakuten membership system, we have formed the unparalleled "Rakuten Ecosystem."
Department Overview
At Rakuten, we aim to empower society through unmanned delivery and are seeking new members to lead our robot delivery business.
The Robot Delivery Business started in 2018, with a delivery experiment on a university campus in May 2019, followed by Japan's first service for general users from a supermarket to a nearby park in September-October of the same year. In August-September 2020, we expanded our services to a glamping facility, and in April 2021, we extended our services from supermarkets to nearby residential areas. Since May 2022, we have been providing regular services around Tsukuba Station for over a year. We have been providing services in the Harumi area of Chuo Ward, Tokyo, since November 2024, and are continuously working on improving and expanding our services.
In this position, you will drive our delivery business forward by managing communications with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders. These essential partners include partner merchants, local municipalities in our service areas, commercial facilities, and the developers and management companies of residential properties. Specifically, regarding merchant acquisition, you will be responsible for the entire sales lifecycle—from initial strategy and outreach to negotiating terms, closing contracts, onboarding new partners, and providing ongoing support for existing merchants.
