RakutenOur organization is dedicated to solving essential business challenges through the implementation and utilization of AI. In this position, you will work closely with customers to gain a deep understanding of their operational challenges, and take end-to-end responsibility for the design, implementation, and improvement of AI-driven solutions. A major appeal of this role is the practical experience you will gain in driving business transformation while engaging with both business and technology. You do not need to possess all the required skills at the time of joining; you will be able to enhance your expertise step-by-step while acquiring the necessary knowledge and skills through training and OJT. With the expansion of our B2B AI products and services, we are looking for individuals who can delve deeply into individual customer challenges and drive the entire process-from design and implementation to improvement-of AI-based solutions. We also expect you to accumulate the insights gained from each project into reusable mechanisms and expand our reproducible delivery model. You will organize business processes, challenges, and constraints through interviews with customers; visualize “As-Is” and “To-Be” states; design and prioritize AI use cases; define project objectives, KPIs, scope, requirements, and success criteria; build consensus with customers and internal stakeholders; and formulate and drive project plans. You will design AI agent workflows, prompts, tools, and skills; implement prototypes using coding tools and other resources; test hypotheses and continuously improve based on customer feedback and evaluation results; and conduct testing, QA, and release with operational requirements in mind, including post-deployment problem-solving. You will facilitate customer meetings; manage schedules, issues, and risks; provide user onboarding, training, and adoption support; measure implementation effectiveness and propose and execute subsequent improvements; and share and standardize insights, templates, components, and best practices gained through projects.
