Job Description:

Department Overview

The EC Expansion Development Department (hereinafter, ECEXD), to which this position belongs, is responsible for various services such as Rakuten Rakuma, Rakuten Rebates, and Rakuken. While each service operates with an independent development group, we foster a community-like organization through cross-group interactions, such as regularly holding information sharing sessions that transcend individual services. This is an organization where you can contribute to business growth through your work and also grow personally.

Among these, the Lifestyle Service Development Group is responsible for the development and operation of the J.LEAGUE ONLINE STORE (https://store.jleague.jp/) and Rakuten Furusato Nozei (https://event.rakuten.co.jp/furusato/).

The J.LEAGUE ONLINE STORE is an EC site that allows customers to purchase official merchandise for each J.LEAGUE club and join fan clubs. Since Rakuten's renewal in 2017, it has continued to grow. As a BtoC service that handles everything from product procurement, warehouse integration, search functions, product pages, orders, inventory management, to shipping and delivery to customers, you will have the opportunity to be broadly involved, from the front-end that customers typically use to the back-end that supports the core of the site.

Rakuten Furusato Nozei is a hometown tax donation service provided by Rakuten Ichiba. It offers features such as managing donation history on "My Page," recommending return gifts, and a donation amount simulator. You can gain experience operating a service used by a very large number of people. In this group, you can take charge of two services with different characteristics, allowing you to experience growth and a sense of accomplishment.
