Recruitment Background

Having achieved 3 trillion yen in revenue, we view this current phase as our “Fourth Founding” and aim to reach 10 trillion yen in revenue, become the brand most loved by customers worldwide, and the company most needed by society.
To achieve these goals, it is essential that we break away from past practices and create new business models and ways of working. This requires a fundamental reevaluation of our organizational structure and a significant raising of the standards expected of our employees. Fast Retailing’s Human Resources department is now called upon not only to conceptualize these changes but also to engage stakeholders, put them into practice, and drive organizational transformation.
We are seeking individuals who will join us in driving structural and organizational/human resources transformations—unbound by precedent—not only in Japan but across countries and regions worldwide.

Job Overview

As the Global Headquarters (GHQ), our Japan headquarters is tasked with strongly driving the global business growth of the FR Group and its various brands, which operate approximately 3,600 stores across Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Furthermore, to advance company-wide transformation, we must continually evolve both the “people”—who serve as the driving force—and the “organizational structure and framework.”
In this recruitment, we envision you engaging specifically in work related to “global transformation of people and organizations.” Rather than being limited to specific tasks or roles, we expect you to address organizational and people-related challenges with an executive’s perspective and vision, driving the process from problem definition to resolution in an integrated manner.

Specific Job Description

We anticipate assigning you to tasks such as those described below. Specifically, you will be assigned to a team and work hands-on to drive transformation. Your assigned team and mission will be determined during the selection process, taking your preferences and career aspirations into account.

• As an HR Business Partner, lead global organizational strengthening and talent development to realize company-wide and business strategies
• As a Global HR Manager, lead the planning, operational design, and on-the-ground implementation of optimal HR systems at a global level
• Lead global HR transformation projects (BPR, offshoring, and shared services)
• As a recruiter, you will lead the entire process—from planning to execution—to attract top talent from Japan and abroad who will drive transformation

*The Job Description may change within the scope of duties related to each department at headquarters due to departmental transfers or organizational changes.

Future Career Path

This is an environment where opportunities extend far beyond HR to include numerous chances to engage in management both domestically and internationally; your potential is limitless, depending on your abilities, aptitude, and motivation. There are also opportunities to be assigned overseas and serve as the HR leader for local operations. Through this full-time position, we expect you to work alongside senior management at the core of the FR Group—which aims to be the world’s No. 1—to drive organizational transformation and develop the next generation of leaders, ultimately growing into a leader yourself.
