Job Description:Business OverviewRakuten Group is headquartered in Japan and serves approximately 100 million domestic customers and 2 billion customers across 30 countries worldwide. We provide more than 70 services across various fields including e-commerce, payment services, financial services, telecommunications, media, and sports.Department OverviewUp until now, Rakuten has expanded its business scale with the shopping mall business "Rakuten Ichiba" and the credit card business "Rakuten Card" as the core, and has grown to sales of 800 billion yen and domestic transaction value of 8.8 trillion yen. Going forward, Rakuten will make maximum use of its assets, such as Rakuten members, Rakuten points, brand strength, and member data, which it has cultivated mainly online, to create a more robust lifestyle, including offline life. We have a vision to create a new business model that establishes the "Rakuten economic zone".Within this, the Platform Business Strategy Division is an organization under the direct control of the COO and Vice President, and is responsible for promoting ecosystem growth strategies and measures centered on marketing across the Rakuten Group.Within that department, you will be recruiting for a team that promotes business development centered on "Rakuten Points".The growth of the entire ecosystem cannot be achieved by simply extending the optimization of individual businesses and services. In addition, since Rakuten's ecosystem is huge and unique, its growth and competitive strategies will inevitably become new and dynamic. For this reason, while directly discussing with the President and Executive Vice Presidents, I create strategies to solve the complex simultaneous equations of both company-wide growth and individual business growth on a daily basis.The team is made up of a small number of elite individuals who have worked at a strategy consulting firm, and combines logical (left-brained) approaches such as Rakuten's big data analysis and insight research with intuitive (right-brained) approaches such as design thinking. We will continue to develop new strategies.If you are interested in an environment where you can contribute to society as well as self-growth through various challenges, please check the following requirements before applying.
