At the policy planning team of Merpay and Mercoin, we aim to contribute to the realization of better rules and society by balancing business growth and gaining trust from society, acting as a 'node' that connects society and the company while engaging in dialogue with various stakeholders. The role of policy planning is still rare in Japan, but the process of creating various rules, including laws, involves a diverse range of players, not only from the government and parliament but also from private companies and academia. Mercari is accelerating its challenges in the Fintech field, centered around Merpay and Mercoin, in addition to its e-commerce marketplace.

You will play a crucial role in leading the appropriate rule-making through constructive dialogue, anticipating the ever-changing social trends and legal demands. Would you like to work together to realize legal reforms by engaging with government ministries and parliament members, create industry self-regulations in collaboration with other companies in the same industry, and develop rules and policies that match the new era of business?
