Familiarity with websites, promotional planning, sales data, and tools such as Excel or web analytics is valuable.

Rakuten Group, Inc. is a major Japanese internet services company headquartered in Tokyo. Founded in 1997, it operates a broad ecosystem covering e-commerce, fintech, mobile communications, travel, digital content, advertising, and professional sports. Its marketplace connects consumers and merchants through services such as Rakuten Ichiba, while its membership and loyalty programs link many of its businesses. Rakuten is known for combining technology, data, and customer benefits to create an integrated digital platform. The company has an international workforce and promotes English as a common corporate language in many divisions. Employees typically work in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment where cross-functional collaboration, innovation, and measurable business results are emphasized. This position sits within the golf business and combines online retail operations with marketing and business development activities.
Japan offers opportunities in technology, e-commerce, finance, tourism, manufacturing, education, and customer-facing services, especially in Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Fukuoka, and Sapporo. Workplace culture often values punctuality, preparation, teamwork, respect for hierarchy, and careful attention to detail, although international companies may have more flexible styles. Daily life is generally safe, convenient, and supported by excellent public transport, healthcare, and digital services. Tokyo has extensive career options but higher housing costs; regional cities can offer a calmer and more affordable lifestyle. Foreign nationals normally need a work visa sponsored by an eligible employer, with the Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services visa commonly used for marketing and business roles. Applicants should prepare educational records, employment history, and passport documents. Learning Japanese improves workplace communication and everyday integration, even when English is used professionally.
