RakutenBusiness Overview The Commerce Company provides a wide range of services centered on internet-based shopping, lifestyle, and leisure offerings, all designed to make daily life more enjoyable and convenient. Among these, Rakuten Ichiba stands as one of the largest e-commerce sites in Japan, featuring over 55,000 merchants (as of December 2024) and serving more than 100 million user accounts. Department Overview Our department, the Contract Management Department, serves as the backbone of the company. Our mission is to provide controlled, end-to-end solutions spanning from contract management and financial settlement (billing and payments) to overall operations. In particular, our Claim and Debt Management Section focuses on the essential element of corporate management: "money." We support the growth of the marketplace business from behind the scenes by planning and operating the platforms that handle financial settlements between Rakuten and the merchants on Rakuten Ichiba, managing billing and payments, and providing design support for new services. The appeal of this role lies in the opportunity to take on the challenge of designing and improving systems to create new value. It is highly rewarding to see your own ideas take shape and have a tangible impact on numerous merchants and business operations. Furthermore, it is a large-scale role that allows you to build the foundation supporting Rakuten’s growth, all while honing your ability to see the "big picture" of the business and sharpening your problem-solving skills. By engaging with the diverse services and business models of Rakuten Ichiba, you can comprehensively acquire highly valuable skills-ranging from accounting and legal knowledge to service design, system architecture, and project management. This is an environment where you can contribute to the growth of the Rakuten Group while fostering significant professional growth for yourself.
