Strong Excel and presentation skills are likely required, while experience with SQL, BI tools, telecommunications, payments, or digital services is advantageous. The successful candidate should be commercially minded, able to work with cross-functional teams, communicate clearly in Japanese and English where needed, and manage several priorities in a fast-moving environment. An interest in mobile, fintech, customer behavior, and data-driven marketing is important.

The company operates the Rakuten ecosystem, linking services through a shared membership and loyalty-point platform. Rakuten Mobile is its telecommunications business, offering mobile network and communication services while expanding coverage, customers, and related digital products. Rakuten is known for its entrepreneurial culture, data-driven operations, and international workforce.

The company is headquartered in Tokyo and provides opportunities in both established operations and rapidly developing areas such as mobile, payments, artificial intelligence, and platform businesses.
Japan offers strong opportunities in technology, telecommunications, payments, finance, consulting, manufacturing, tourism, and data analytics. Tokyo is the main employment center, while Osaka, Nagoya, Fukuoka, and Sapporo also have growing international job markets. Japanese workplaces value reliability, preparation, teamwork, and respectful communication; many multinational companies use English, but Japanese ability significantly improves career options and daily life. Japan provides excellent public transport, healthcare, safety, food, and cultural experiences, although housing in Tokyo can be expensive and working hours vary by employer. Foreign professionals generally need an appropriate work visa, commonly an Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services visa, supported by an employment contract and qualifying education or experience. Employers often assist with sponsorship and relocation, but applicants should confirm documentation, taxes, health insurance, and residence registration. Learning basic Japanese, arranging accommodation early, and budgeting for deposits and moving costs make relocation easier.
