Job Description

■Recruitment Background:
Fast Retailing is driving an ultimate supply chain transformation centered on the principle of “manufacturing, transporting, and selling exactly what customers want, when they want it, and in the exact quantities they need.” As our business grows rapidly, the complexity of supply has increased year by year, and the supply chain has evolved from a mere logistics function into a core business function that determines sales and customer experience.To achieve this, it is essential to review all logistics infrastructure from the ground up—including building optimal systems and networks across the entire global supply chain, as well as establishing and strengthening strategic partnerships—and to continuously improve and utilize these systems. For this position, we are seeking a leadership candidate who will take the lead on various initiatives at the forefront of this global supply chain transformation and see them through to successful completion.

■ Department Overview:
The Global Supply Chain Management Department, to which you will be assigned, is responsible for building and executing the fastest and most optimal transportation network to supply “Life Wear” to countries around the world. The supply chain is a complex domain where multiple functions are intricately intertwined; this department is a project-based organization that swiftly implements transformations in coordination with the field while cutting across these functions.

■Job Description:
You will lead the entire process—from identifying logistics challenges and developing ideal scenarios and solutions to their implementation—in close consultation with executives from our overseas operations and brands. You will lead the realization of logistics operations by transcending departmental and functional boundaries and breaking free from the status quo, contributing to sales growth and improved customer experience starting from the supply chain.

Specific missions will be determined through ongoing dialogue during the selection process.
・Planning Initiatives and Building Consensus: Based on each business unit’s growth strategy and business plan, you will define the ideal supply chain structure. You will then develop initiatives—such as optimizing transportation modes and routes, reviewing warehouse functions and locations, and improving productivity through warehouse automation—and lead the process of building consensus by engaging internal and external stakeholders.
・Implementation of transformations and delivery of results: Based on the agreed-upon measures, you will drive operational transformations in countries around the world. Working in collaboration with local representatives, you will visit sites as needed to resolve issues that arise during implementation and lead the process through to the delivery of final results.
・Development of Best Practices and Global Standardization: We will compile success stories and insights gained from initiatives in each country and rapidly roll them out globally. We will promote global operational standardization through SKU-level inventory optimization, the advancement of KPI design and management methods, and the sharing and improvement of safety and quality-related issues.
*The Job Description may change within the scope of duties related to each department at headquarters due to department transfers or organizational changes.

■Career Path:
・You will lead supply chain transformations involving countries around the world while based in Japan.
・Subsequently, depending on your aspirations and aptitude, you will take on roles such as leading a team as a leader responsible for organizational management and talent development in Japan, or leading operations as a logistics manager at overseas locations.
