■Recruitment Background
The Fast Retailing Group is expanding its business with the goal of becoming the world’s leading information-driven retail group. We are seeking a candidate to take charge of cost management for store design and construction—a role essential to accelerating our global store expansion.

■Department Overview
This is a critical role responsible for maximizing profits and expanding business through project cost management across a wide range of domestic and international markets for all Fast Retailing Group brands, including UNIQLO, GU, and Theory. The primary mission of this position is to propose appropriate costs and management methods and to ensure the global implementation of project execution standards throughout the Fast Retailing Group.

■Job Description
1. Standardizing and promoting cost management guidelines to support store development, design, construction, and maintenance
You will standardize and manage the execution of investments and related processes to realize Fast Retailing’s vision. While items range from simple procurement to store investment tenders, you will be expected to propose and manage the implementation of more efficient investment methods without being bound by existing practices. Additionally, you will identify issues in daily development, design, construction, and maintenance operations, and create the standards necessary for appropriate budgeting and execution.

2. Execution of Investment Management for Global Store Design and Construction
In the field of store design and construction, to eliminate variations in cost management accuracy across countries, you will establish Fast Retailing’s global standards and implement management practices to ensure their distribution and adherence worldwide. You will drive activities as a global team to identify and resolve challenges in investment execution and develop opportunities for cost reduction.
For irregular, individual investment projects—particularly large-scale ones—you will collaborate with other departments and project members to evaluate estimates, propose value engineering (VE) and cost-reduction measures, and, when necessary, negotiate directly with vendors.

3. Execution of global vendor management and establishment of valuable partnerships with external companies
You will be responsible for optimizing the design, construction, and procurement systems for equipment and materials for both roadside and in-building stores. You will proactively respond to rapidly changing social conditions and develop opportunities by maximizing optimal procurement and order volumes. This role requires proactive action not only in Japan but globally, as well as optimal management in each country.

4. Leading the training of global team members, monitoring the status of store design and construction cost management and the implementation of standards in each country, and driving organizational strengthening
In addition to setting standards, you will conduct training and ongoing monitoring for internal and external stakeholders involved in development, design, construction, and maintenance. We aim to establish a lean, high-performing organizational structure with a small, elite global team.

■ Attractive Aspects of the Position
This is a highly dynamic role where you will leverage your expertise in store design, construction, and facilities to create and manage globally unified standards. UNIQLO alone has over 2,200 stores across 26 countries worldwide. As Fast Retailing continues its rapid global store expansion, this is a highly rewarding opportunity to lead the standardization and globalization of store cost management.
