Revenue Management and Data Analysis Specialist - Energy Division

Job Description

This role supports revenue management for Rakuten’s Energy Division through data analysis, forecasting, performance monitoring, and business reporting. Candidates are generally expected to have experience with numerical analysis, spreadsheets, databases, and data-visualization or business-intelligence tools. Knowledge of electricity, energy retail, pricing, demand forecasting, or revenue optimization is advantageous. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and the ability to translate findings into practical business recommendations are important. The successful candidate should communicate clearly with commercial, finance, and operational teams, manage multiple priorities, and work accurately in a changing market. Japanese-language ability is likely important for domestic market data and internal coordination, while English may be useful in Rakuten’s international environment.

Destination Guide

Japan offers opportunities in technology, data analytics, finance, engineering, e-commerce, energy, manufacturing, healthcare, and hospitality, especially in Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, and Fukuoka. Work culture values punctuality, preparation, teamwork, and respectful communication, though many international companies are becoming more flexible. Japan provides excellent public transport, reliable services, rich food and cultural experiences, and generally safe cities, but housing and commuting costs can be high in Tokyo. Foreign professionals usually need an employer-sponsored work visa, commonly an Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services visa; the employer typically supports the Certificate of Eligibility process. Applicants should confirm degree and experience requirements and arrange health insurance, residence registration, banking, and accommodation after arrival. Japanese ability improves daily life and expands career options, even when English is used at work.
