Job Description: Department Overview We are responsible for creating customer touchpoints in real-world channels and driving business growth, with Rakuten Mobile shop operations at our core. Our stores serve as more than just places to sign contracts; they act as the "front line of customer engagement," playing a vital role in supporting the brand experience by providing Rakuten Group services across communications, finance, and e-commerce. The Shop Operation Section serves as the "strategic hub" for store operations, managing everything from the construction of the physical store network and back-end call center functions to the development of systems and devices that streamline in-store operations. Our Planning & Escalation Group’s mission is to derive the optimal balance of cost and quality regarding store development, such as new store openings and store renovations, thereby supporting swift and accurate decision-making by the management team.

Standardization of Store Development Processes and Cross-functional Support You will promote "system building" to increase the productivity of the entire Store Operations Division. - Development of Business Processes: Visualizing and standardizing store development and renovation processes that have become overly dependent on specific individuals, and building efficient workflows. - Cross-functional Support: Acting as a coordinator between departments to resolve bottlenecks and provide horizontal support to ensure projects proceed smoothly. - Knowledge Accumulation: Analyzing past data on store openings and renovations to create rules that will be applied to future projects.
