Job Description

■Recruitment Background
At Fast Retailing Group, we are transforming our e-commerce business fundamentally, uniting globally to achieve "e-commerce as our core business" rather than treating it as just one retail segment. To create an e-commerce site that is easier for customers to use and more satisfying, we established an in-house photography studio within our office in 2020 and have been advancing the in-house production of product image assets (photography, editing, etc.).

We are seeking a leader to spearhead the production of these assets—images and videos—for our global brand e-commerce sites. These assets convey product value to customers.
You will build and operate a system to deliver creative assets produced at our Tokyo office to Fast Retailing customers worldwide, enabling immediate responses to customer feedback.

You will continuously update creatives based on customer feedback and global sales performance, executing "creative production that delivers results" rather than just "looking good."

■Job Description
You will manage the entire process of planning and shooting assets (still images and videos) for the global market, working closely with team members while communicating internally (within your department and other departments) and externally (with photography partner companies).

Specifically, you will be responsible for the following tasks:

・Improving the environment to enable the on-site photography team to deliver higher-quality assets (still images and videos), while maintaining an overview of the entire on-site situation and constantly being mindful of budgets and costs.
・Conduct numerical analysis relevant to actual business operations, and plan, execute, and review asset improvements based on these analyses.

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

■Career Path
You will be responsible for one or more brands (UNIQLO, GU, PLST) and advance the aforementioned Job Description.
