Administrative Jobs in Setagaya, Japan (Now Hiring) — 14 open

Job Description:

Department Overview
Rakuten Mobile is driving business growth and creating customer touchpoints in physical channels, with shop operations at its core. Our stores serve as the "front line of customer engagement," offering services across the entire Rakuten Group-including telecommunications, fintech, and e-commerce-and playing a vital role in supporting the brand experience beyond simply acquiring contracts.

The mission of this department is to provide comprehensive support for store repairs and maintenance, ensuring that Rakuten Mobile shops nationwide are always operating at their best. This is a highly rewarding role where you will not only provide rapid responses to breakdowns and malfunctions but also constantly pursue better store environments for both customers and staff.

You will do more than just "fix" things; you will think deeply about how to provide a more comfortable space and how to solve store-related challenges, then bring those solutions to life. This position allows you to collaborate with diverse internal and external partners (contractors, equipment manufacturers, shop staff, etc.) and, at times, directly contribute your own ideas to store improvements.

Why We Hire
With the expansion of the Rakuten Mobile shop business, we need to strengthen our organizational structure to promote stable and high-quality new store openings, as well as to optimize the management of facilities, equipment, and repairs for existing stores.
As stores are critical customer touchpoints, maintaining a consistently attractive environment is directly linked to business growth. Therefore, we are seeking a candidate who can drive improvements in existing stores and strengthen our operational foundation.
