RakutenBusiness Overview Rakuten Group is headquartered in Japan and serves approximately 100 million domestic customers and 2 billion customers across 30 countries worldwide. We provide more than 70 services across various fields including e-commerce, payment services, financial services, telecommunications, media, and sports. Department Overview Rakuten has grown to 2.4966 trillion yen in revenue and 6.3452 trillion yen in domestic e-commerce GMV (December 2025 Issue), anchored by Rakuten Ichiba and Rakuten Card. Going forward, Rakuten's vision is to fully leverage assets built primarily through online channels-Rakuten Members, Rakuten Points, brand strength, and member data-to create a stronger "Rakuten Ecosystem" that extends into everyday offline life. This role is in the Platform Strategy Supervisory Department (PFSD), a corporate organization reporting directly to the COO/Vice President. You will be responsible for planning and operating ecosystem marketing initiatives while also evolving the underlying marketing processes through AI. PFSD drives group-wide ecosystem growth strategy and cross-Rakuten marketing initiatives, rather than operating a specific service. Working on initiatives based on company-wide strategy allows you to build a broad perspective and grow your career across the full scope of the business. For those who want to work close to top management and shape strategy from the upstream-this is the role for you. The scope of PFSD's work is exceptionally wide-ranging: from top management proposals on company-wide strategy, to concrete initiative planning, to creating innovative new programs and products, to designing operations that deliver a trusted customer experience — there are countless opportunities to apply your skills and unlock your creativity.
