Shiseido's indirect procurement is currently in the early phase of transformation. Since 2023, we have been expanding our involvement in indirect material procurement and strengthening governance, establishing the "Indirect Material Procurement Office" in 2025, and reorganizing the procurement department into three areas: "IT", "Logistics & Equipment", and "Facility Services" in 2026. In the future, we will also engage in the Media Buying area, aiming for a global cost reduction of 10 billion yen and improving profitability (OP). This position will lead that transformation as a Director, responsible for planning, strategy formation, and execution. By shaping your own ideas, you will have an impactful position that significantly evolves Shiseido's revenue structure. Strategic thinking, logical reasoning, and high interpersonal skills are required. It is essential to dialogue with various stakeholders, including highly specialized departments such as Marketing, regional heads both domestically and internationally, and external partners, while gaining trust and moving forward. That is why there is the thrill of drawing strategies, waving the flag, and moving the organization.
