Recruitment Background

The Fast Retailing (hereinafter “FR”) Group is driving company-wide transformation to create a “new industry” based on the “LifeWear” concept, which transcends traditional industry boundaries.
We are seeking a Labor Relations Specialist to drive HR governance both domestically and internationally.

Job Overview

As the FR Group’s Global Headquarters (GHQ), the Japan headquarters is tasked with driving the global business growth of the FR Group and its various brands, which operate approximately 3,600 stores across Asia, Europe, and the United States.
The Labor Relations team to which you will be assigned handles both global and Japan-based matters; however, upon joining the company, you will initially serve as a labor relations specialist for Japan, engaging in the following duties, with the expectation that you will expand your scope of responsibilities to include global matters. Specifically, the following duties are anticipated:

• You will primarily handle labor and employment matters involving employees in Japan.
• In addition to handling individual cases, you will lead the development and operation of monitoring systems to prevent problems before they arise, as well as the implementation of training programs.
• We also expect you to introduce policies and systems that enable more flexible and efficient work styles, as well as ways for employees to remain productive over the long term.

*Please note that payroll, social insurance, and procedures related to employee onboarding and offboarding are handled by a separate team and are therefore not part of this role.
*The Job Description may change within the scope of duties related to various headquarters departments due to departmental transfers or organizational changes.

Future Career Path

While we envision you aiming to become an expert in labor relations or human resources, or even a business executive, opportunities to be involved in management—whether from the perspective of people, resources, or finance—are available both domestically and internationally, extending beyond a career solely in human resources. This is an environment where your potential is limitless, depending on your abilities, aptitude, and motivation.
