The Fast Retailing Group aims to create a “new industry” based on the “LifeWear” concept, actively pursuing initiatives in various regions without being bound by industry conventions. Building a sustainable supply chain plays a critical role in our future growth strategy. We are not only undergoing transformation in production plants, sewing factories, and logistics processes but also striving to improve transparency and strengthen management in the raw material procurement phase—the very upstream of the supply chain.For this position, we are seeking a candidate who will collaborate with internal teams and suppliers to engage in strategic planning and organizational development, enabling the company to take a leadership role in managing the raw material procurement phase. We look forward to hearing from candidates who share our values and vision and are capable of leading the execution phase of building a global supply chain.

Our goal is to apply our own standards for quality, procurement, production systems, and environmental and human rights compliance across all production processes, thereby managing the entire supply chain in-house. To achieve this, we are implementing end-to-end visibility from the final product down to the raw material level and consolidating our transactions with a select group of elite production partners.Furthermore, we are currently advancing initiatives to source raw materials from designated farms and ranches.

■ Job Description
You will lead the "Deepening of Raw Material Procurement Management," one of the three pillars of our production initiatives (see the URL below). By collaborating with global partners to designate and source from specific farms, ranches, or factories, you will help stabilize quality and ensure transparency and safety in procurement all the way to the very source.
- Formulate and execute global sustainable material development and raw material procurement strategies
