Job Description: Business Overview The Ad & Media Company offers a comprehensive suite of advertising and marketing services, encompassing digital advertising, research, and influencer Business. Our distinctive strength lies in our ability to provide end-to-end marketing solutions, from upstream strategy formulation to downstream execution, including ad operations, performance measurement, and data analysis. Our diverse marketing portfolio includes services such as "Rakuten Marketing / LinkShare" for holistic digital marketing solutions, "Rakuten Data Marketing" leveraging Rakuten's vast big data for marketing insights, and "Rakuten Insight" specializing in marketing research. Joining our organization, which forms a core pillar of the Rakuten Group, offers an unparalleled environment for your personal growth and career advancement. Department Overview As global lifestyles and values diversify, companies face marketing research challenges that are more sophisticated and complex than ever before. Rakuten Insight rises to this challenge, tasked with pioneering new value across the entire marketing process for our clients. We achieve this by harnessing the unparalleled assets of the Rakuten Group and deploying state-of-the-art technology. Our vision extends beyond domestic borders; we are aggressively expanding into the global market. In July 2025, we proudly launched our "Overseas Research Service for Japanese Companies" as a key strategic initiative. Through a strong partnership with Rakuten Insight Global, Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary), we are already delivering innovative overseas research solutions, powered by Rakuten's unique advantages. We are now seeking a "Global Project Manager" to be at the forefront of this burgeoning overseas research venture. Your pivotal role will be to address the international market challenges faced by Japanese corporations, effectively driving business growth through robust operational support. Working hand-in-hand with a diverse array of internal and external stakeholders, you will ensure the successful execution of client overseas research projects. We are looking for a core team member who is ready to make a significant impact and contribute to the exponential growth of our business. "We are looking for individuals who aspire to revolutionize the industry by leveraging Rakuten Group's extensive assets and cutting-edge technologies to drive and launch new businesses." We are looking for highly ambitious individuals like you. Why not join us in shaping the future of marketing research? Position: Why We Hire The imperative for Japanese companies to strengthen their presence in overseas markets for sustainable growth has never been greater, especially in our rapidly globalizing era. Post-COVID-19, there's been a dramatic surge in Japanese firms pursuing international expansion to secure foreign currency, consequently skyrocketing the demand for accurate marketing research to navigate these complex global landscapes. Responding to this critical need, Rakuten Insight proudly launched its "Overseas Research Service for Japanese Companies" in July 2025. By maximizing Rakuten Group's formidable assets and extensive global network, we've already garnered significant interest and a strong pipeline of projects. As this new venture experiences exponential growth and enters a crucial expansion phase, there's an urgent need to fortify our operational framework to guarantee the seamless and successful delivery of our clients' overseas research projects.
