PaypayIn the CS department of PayPay, we are working daily on operational improvements from a user-first perspective to achieve our mission of "not causing trouble in the first place" and "ensuring quick resolutions when trouble arises." We are currently recruiting multiple positions within the CS System Planning department. With the rapid growth of our services and an increase in the number of customers, the number of users utilizing the customer support provided by PayPay is also on the rise. Our mission is to "integrate people and machines to maximize and optimize customer experience," and we are advancing system enhancements to enable users to resolve issues more easily and quickly. The department we are assigning to consists of about 20 members, primarily in their 30s. We are involved in a wide range of activities related to CS systems, from planning and creating requirement definitions to development requests and operational maintenance, all aimed at providing customer support that allows customers to resolve issues without effort. In the customer support area, the use of generative AI is rapidly expanding. As AI takes on some of the inquiry responses that were previously handled by humans, it will become increasingly important to continuously evaluate from data whether "the AI's responses were appropriate" and "where there is room for improvement" rather than just "introducing AI." Additionally, a wealth of data such as inquiry logs, response histories, and customer behaviors has been accumulated in CS. We also need to further strengthen the data analysis functions that utilize this data to improve customer experience and operational efficiency. Therefore, we are looking for personnel who can discover issues and promote improvements from both the generative AI and data analysis perspectives. In the rapidly growing customer support area of PayPay, as the use of generative AI agents expands, the importance of organizing not only quantitative data and knowledge but also unstructured data such as past decision data is increasing. Furthermore, as the democratization of analysis and data handling through generative AI progresses, the establishment and enhancement of data analysis infrastructure is becoming urgent. You will be responsible for the development and utilization promotion of data infrastructure and analysis infrastructure in the CS area. ● CS System Planning (Data and Analysis Promotion) - Quality evaluation of generative AI agents, data analysis, and continuous accuracy improvement - Collection, integration, and analysis of inquiry logs and customer behavior data - KPI design and dashboard construction in the CS area - Issue discovery and improvement measures planning based on visualization and data analysis - Effect verification - Establishment of data infrastructure and governance necessary for generative AI/data utilization - Project promotion with management, development departments, CS departments, and related departments.
