Job Description

■Recruitment Background
The Fast Retailing Group is undergoing a company-wide transformation to create a “new industry” based on the “LifeWear” concept, which transcends the traditional boundaries of the apparel industry.
To promote the UNIQLO brand and products created based on the "LifeWear" philosophy, you will be responsible for planning and executing communication strategies from the ground up, both nationwide and in specific regions. We are seeking candidates who can go beyond the confines of the marketing department, collaborate with other departments, and lead the development of compelling communication strategies and store layouts that resonate with customers.

■ Department Overview
The Marketing Department’s mission is to accurately convey the “value” of our brands and products to customers. We are strengthening our capabilities to deepen this understanding and further shift the focus of product development toward a market-in approach.
The department consists of the Global Marketing Division, whose primary mission is to provide appropriate direction based on the medium- to long-term strategies of each country as the global headquarters, and the Japan Marketing Division, which plans communication strategies for the domestic market and is responsible for execution in collaboration with other specialized teams within the Marketing Department, as well as stores and related departments.

■Job Description
As the central hub of the Japan Marketing Department, you will analyze customer needs, identify new business opportunities, and implement strategic planning. You will be responsible for communicating the value we provide—ranging from products and services to new store openings and various corporate activities that contribute to the peace and stability of local communities—while building an annual plan that takes into account not only UNIQLO’s unique events such as the Thanksgiving Sale but also seasonal events, annual celebrations, and product launches throughout the year.
・Develop and execute communication strategies based on the above.
・Implement initiatives that contribute to daily business performance.
・Collaborate with internal and external creators to develop communication strategies and creative content across a wide range of media channels, including TV commercials, digital promotions, radio, newspaper ads, transit ads, in-store promotional materials, and events.

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

■ Career Path
・As a domestic product marketing manager, you will start by leading marketing communications that clearly convey the value of brands and products to customers for each category. We expect you to broaden your experience through various projects while collaborating with related departments.

・As UNIQLO Japan serves as the global headquarters, we expect you to continuously hone your language skills. Based on this, the following career paths are possible:

- Taking on a management role within the Japan marketing organization (promotion to team leader or department head)
- Rotation to global marketing or creative roles (leveraging your experience in Japan to broaden your expertise in a global capacity)
- Overseas assignment as a marketing manager in various countries (we have a track record of successful assignments)

You will be able to directly contribute to UNIQLO’s branding and sales through branding and promotion efforts related to products, services, seasonal events, new store openings, and corporate activities. We encourage you to challenge yourself with new ideas without being bound by conventional methods.
