Job Description:

Department Overview

Partner Sales Department
Rakuten Mobile is currently focusing heavily on its corporate business, and the Partner Sales Department is responsible for creating and expanding business through partners (MVNOs or sales agencies). Leveraging the unparalleled and innovative technological foundation realized by Rakuten Mobile, we lead the transformation of the telecommunications industry.


Partner Sales Section
The Partner Sales Section, which is hiring for this position, works with our business partners—MVNOs (Mobile Virtual Network Operators)—to acquire corporate lines. MVNOs are telecommunications carriers that provide new value to the world by combining their own services and sales channels with Rakuten Mobile's services.
As such, there are as many different needs as there are partners, and we possess various functions to meet those needs. We provide thorough training for those who are not familiar with the telecommunications industry or the concept of MVNOs, creating an environment where even those without experience can succeed.


Position:

Why We Hire
We are aiming to expand our service planning and business development functions to meet various needs. We are looking for people who have experience in these fields, those who are interested in acquiring these skills, and those who want to actively participate in new initiatives. In addition, as we expand our new business, we will proceed while obtaining business approval at management meetings centered on internal Executives. Through negotiations with senior management such as executives, you can gain valuable experience that will lead to your future career.


Position Details
- Service Planning
Plan and consider services to realize the requests of partners. You will handle everything from service plans and pricing to marketing and profit/loss forecasting.
- Business Development
Plan large projects that could become pillars of Rakuten Mobile's business a few years from now, with a broader scope than service planning. You can gain a wide range of experience not only in business knowledge but also in system development, law, accounting, etc.
- Project Management
Perform PM work for approved service development and business development projects. The focus is on stakeholder coordination and progress management to actually shape the business you have conceived.


Work Environment
The entire section currently has a team of about 20 people, and it is expected to expand to an organization of about 30 to 50 people in the future. Among them, the Partner Sales Promotion Management Group consists of about 5 to 7 people, and we work in a balanced manner so that the workload is not biased toward one person.
Members with a wide range of careers, from experienced mid-career professionals to young staff, are enrolled. While a certain percentage of members come from the telecommunications industry, those with experience in different industries also integrate well.


Job Satisfaction and Appeal
- Service/Business Planning and Design Experience
You can gain end-to-end experience from marketing research to business design and project completion. Even after the service is actually released to the world, you can gain dynamic, hands-on work experience through continuous improvement. In addition, in the future, you will be involved in considering collaborations with foreign companies, and you will be able to participate in service and business planning from a global perspective that goes beyond domestic business.
- Good Working Environment
It is a transparent organization where you can frankly convey your thoughts and ideas, and it is an organization where members learn from each other as opinions emerge from other members as well. The turnover rate is low.


Mandatory Qualifications:

- Experience using Microsoft PowerPoint/Excel/Word
- Ability to communicate in Japanese at a business level

In addition to the above, those who have 3 or more years of experience in any of the following three:
- Practical experience in service or business planning: Experience in planning new services, improving existing services, or formulating business strategies
- Experience in coordination/negotiation with diverse internal and external stakeholders: Experience in promoting planning and reaching consensus by collaborating with multiple departments and external parties
- Experience in project promotion or business design/improvement: Experience in planning and executing to concretely realize what has been planned, or experience in business process improvement

- TOEIC score of 600 or higher


Desired Qualifications:

- Interest in and basic knowledge of the mobile communication business
- Those who want to work while having connections with the outside world
- Those who have high communication skills and are positive
- Those who have some sales experience (telecommunications/IT industry is a plus)
