RakutenThis department drives business growth by focusing on the operations of Rakuten Mobile shops nationwide and creating customer engagement opportunities through physical retail channels. Each store serves not merely as a place to acquire new subscribers, but as a frontline customer touchpoint that provides a wide range of Rakuten Group services, including telecommunications, financial services, and e-commerce, thereby enhancing the brand experience and supporting business expansion. Within the department, members with diverse areas of expertise collaborate to drive business growth, ranging from developing and expanding sales channels through major electronics retailers to establishing operational frameworks that support store management and promoting cross-group business initiatives across Rakuten Group. With the expansion of the Rakuten Mobile shop business, there is a growing need to strengthen headquarters functions that support business growth driven by stores. We are broadly recruiting experienced professionals who can make an immediate contribution across a variety of areas, including standardizing business processes, promoting cross-functional initiatives that leverage Rakuten Group assets, establishing back-office functions to support the sales organization, and expanding sales channels through major electronics retailers. Depending on your experience and strengths, you will take on one of the following roles. Your specific assignment will be determined through the selection process. Business Development and Promotion: Plan and drive cross-functional initiatives in collaboration with Rakuten Group services, including financial services, e-commerce, and digital content, and manage business growth projects originating from retail stores. Lead initiatives end to end, from initial planning and development through effectiveness evaluation. Business Operations Planning and Promotion: Design and standardize business processes that support store operations nationwide, and promote cross-departmental initiatives based on KPI monitoring. Understand the needs of both frontline operations and headquarters, help establish a robust operational foundation, and drive the implementation of business initiatives. Sales Support: Manage operations, aggregate data, and provide management support to enhance the overall productivity of the sales organization. Through accurate and timely execution, help create an environment in which frontline teams can carry out their duties smoothly and efficiently. Major Retailer Sales: Drive sales channel expansion and maximize sales performance at partner stores for Rakuten Mobile. Starting with negotiations and relationship building with headquarters representatives at major electronics retailers, lead the entire process, from reaching agreements on sales targets, promotions, and product display strategies to providing support at individual stores. Even if your experience in these areas is limited, applications from second-career graduates (generally those with approximately three years or less of professional experience) are welcome, with particular emphasis on motivation and potential.
