Why We Hire
Rakuten wants to contribute to making people's daily lives happier and improving society through the provision of services.
However, in recent years, global competition for services and platforms has intensified. Rakuten itself must evolve further in order to become a presence that is trusted, loved, and chosen by customers.
We are in a position to work from a brand perspective and plan and promote branding communication measures to deepen engagement with customers.
　
Position Details
In this job offer, please promote a communication strategy with customers in order to improve Rakuten's brand value.

Specifically, you will lead the entire series of processes from brand strategy planning to communication concept design to content production. Branding targets a wide range from companies called Rakuten to assets such as Rakuten services, Rakuten members, and Rakuten points, so you will have to formulate your own strategy and prioritize it. Depending on the project, the communication channel may utilize mass media such as TV commercials, external media such as social media, or each touch point in Rakuten, which boasts a huge number of visitors.

(Recent concrete project examples: Development of official character "Shopping Panda", planning and promotion of branding CM that appeals to Rakuten Point's No. 1 character, official account management of social media with a total of 50 million fans, corporate branding Strategic planning and content production, etc.)

The members we work with are diverse and range from marketers to business strategists, UX specialists and designers. It is a characteristic of our department that members with these different strengths learn from each other, unite to form a team, and proceed with measures. Please show your creativity and lead the team.

Because Rakuten boasts the largest number of members in Japan, the impact of your strategic planning on people's daily lives is immeasurable. Would you like to become a catalyst that makes people's lives more enjoyable, prosperous and happy while experiencing that dynamism?
