The company is widely known for its massive e-commerce platforms, alongside a robust portfolio spanning financial technology and digital content. Furthermore, it has established itself as an innovative force in the telecommunications industry through the development of cloud-native mobile network infrastructure.

Job Description:

Business Overview

Rakuten Group's basic management philosophy is to "empower people and

society through innovation". We provide more than 70 diverse services,

including EC services such as shopping malls and travel booking sites,

financial services such as online banking, and media services and professional

sports, to more than 100 million customers in Japan alone (more than 2 billion

globally), covering a wide range of people's life scenes. At the same time, we

are building a strong business model based on the "Rakuten Ecosystem"

that organically links customers and various services.

As a member of the Rakuten Group's FinTech Group Company, we at Rakuten Payment, Inc. are developing businesses centered on settlement services such as Rakuten Pay, Rakuten Edy, and Point Partner Business, as well as marketing solutions.

With the power of technology, we aim to create a world where anyone can enjoy the same value no matter where they are.

As the digital sphere of society rapidly expands, we want to connect the Internet and the real world more seamlessly, so that everyone can use technology to lead a safe, secure, and more comfortable daily life.

In order to achieve such a society, we would like to face the various problems that people are facing and move forward together to the next stage.

Department Overview

With the strength of the Rakuten Point market, which has surpassed 5 trillion yen in total issuance, we are building the "Rakuten Economic Circle" through service collaboration with Rakuten Group companies and the introduction of cashless settlement services in real stores, which are growing at an accelerated pace.

Our settlement services can be used at approximately 6 million online and offline locations, including supermarkets, convenience stores, and shopping malls nationwide, as well as at approximately 1 million locations where traffic-related e-money can be used, and the number of locations where this service can be used is continuing to expand.
