Job Description: Business Overview Since its founding in 1997, “Rakuten Ichiba” has grown into one of Japan’s largest e-commerce marketplaces. Currently, more than 57,000 stores operate on the platform, supporting the daily lives of many users through the robust ecosystem known as the Rakuten Economy. We go beyond simply operating an e-commerce site; by leveraging data and technology, we “empower” businesses nationwide and continue to contribute to the revitalization of the Japanese economy.

Position: Why We Hire As the Rakuten ecosystem continues to expand, Rakuten Ichiba’s role is becoming increasingly important. With merchant expectations on the rise, we are seeking colleagues who bring fresh perspectives and enthusiasm to help us strengthen our specialized consulting capabilities. ・Unparalleled Data Analysis Skills: You’ll develop the skills to formulate logical and scientific marketing strategies by leveraging Rakuten’s vast purchase data. ・Gaining a Management Perspective: By engaging in direct dialogue with store owners and playing an active role in resolving business challenges, you’ll elevate your perspective as a business professional. ・A Sense of Social Contribution: This is an environment where you’ll experience a profound sense of fulfillment as your proposals boost store sales, positively impacting the local economy and the lives of store owners. ・Ecosystem Synergy: You’ll discover the excitement of creating comprehensive proposals that leverage the diverse services of the Rakuten Group.
