Department Overview This department is dedicated to HR (recruitment, training & development, performance evaluation, labor relations, HRBP) specifically for the mobile business organizations of three entities: Rakuten Mobile, Inc., Rakuten Total Solutions, Inc., and Rakuten Symphony, Inc. While collaborating with Rakuten Group headquarters, this unique environment allows for end-to-end experience, leveraging the characteristics of each company, from addressing HR challenges specific to the mobile business environment (mobile market, retail store operations, global development environment, and talent composition) to planning and implementing solutions, managing operations, and fostering workplace communication. We organize our teams by HR domain—recruitment, training & development, performance evaluation, labor relations, and HRBP. We facilitate cross-organizational collaboration, mutual understanding through study groups and closing meetings, and career-aligned reassignments.

Position: Why We Hire This is to expand our workforce in the labor relations domain to support Rakuten's rapidly growing and expanding mobile-related businesses.

You will be responsible for executing the following tasks and for improving operations and processes: Revising various regulations Submitting notifications to the Labor Standards Inspection Office Health and safety-related tasks Health management-related tasks (health check-ups, stress checks, infection prevention, vaccinations, etc.) Responding to employee inquiries, consultations, and reporting cases Other related tasks In this environment, you will find it engaging to perform tasks by understanding the characteristics of the three companies and leveraging the individuality of each.
