Rakuten

Consumer Services

Rakuten est un leader mondial des services en ligne et l’inventeur du modèle de place de marché B2B2C. Fondé en 1997 au Japon, Rakuten propose un écosystème de plus de 80 services digitaux complémentaires, disponibles dans 30 pays, dans des domaines aussi variés que l’e-commerce, les télécommunications, les Fintech, la publicité ou encore l’Intelligence Artificielle. En France, Rakuten est le pionnier de l’économie collaborative et circulaire. Sa plateforme inclusive permet aux grandes enseignes comme aux TPE/PME locales de commercialiser leurs produits à une très large communauté d’acheteurs et de bénéficier d’outils technologiques et de services innovants pour développer leur activité, en ligne comme en magasins, via le click & collect notamment. L’engagement de Rakuten en faveur d’un e-commerce vertueux se traduit aussi par son approche non concurrentielle, qui encourage les commerçants comme les particuliers à revendre leurs produits, faisant de la plateforme un acteur majeur de la seconde main. La réussite de Rakuten repose ainsi sur une double promesse : le pouvoir d’acheter et de revendre. Aujourd’hui, plus de 12 millions de Français profitent de cet engagement via le Club R. Plus qu’un programme de fidélité, le Club R récompense acheteurs et vendeurs et favorise le développement de l’économie circulaire. Fidèle à ses valeurs fondatrices, Rakuten prône un modèle de digitalisation responsable, pour les commerçants, pour l’environnement et pour le consommateur : un e-commerce qui met tout le monde d’accord.

Business Overview

Rakuten Mobile launched its full-scale service in April 2020 as the fourth MNO (Mobile Network Operator) in Japan—the first to be approved in 13 years—with the mission to provide high-quality mobile communication services at fair prices. We have been growing rapidly, surpassing 8.5 million MNO subscriptions as of February 2025.
We also launched full-scale services for corporate clients in January 2023. As a core business driving the future growth of the Rakuten Group, we are making large-scale investments and drawing significant attention both domestically and internationally.

Department Overview

The Operation Design Group handles a wide range of tasks, including operational improvement, external system development, and new service design. It is a rewarding role where you will design operations to ensure efficiency and quality while strictly adhering to legal regulations and internal rules. You will gain extensive business knowledge, including service delivery processes, payment cycles, systems, legal affairs, accounting, and proposal preparation.
