This is an environment where you can place yourself in an organization that forms the core of the Rakuten Group, leading to your own growth and career advancement.

Why We Hire
Guided by the mission “Supporting everyday life,” through media experiences that become starting points for users’ daily purchasing decisions and actions, we aim to maximize the value of the Rakuten ecosystem as a whole.
In addition to continuously transforming existing media services, the department actively takes on the challenge of launching new media and creating new value.
By leveraging Rakuten Group’s vast data assets and AI technologies, we strive to enhance user experience while achieving sustainable business growth.
Beyond media operations, the department also includes teams responsible for planning and developing promotional solutions for merchants on Rakuten Ichiba, as well as planning and supporting the sales of advertising products that bundle multiple media platforms across the Rakuten Group.
This enables a multi-layered business model that integrates media, data, and advertising.
