Recruitment Background

The Fast Retailing Group aims to become the No. 1 brand most loved by customers worldwide, serving as the “clothing infrastructure” essential to a comfortable daily life for everyone.
As the primary arena for business and operations shifts to the digital space, there is an urgent need to establish a global security framework for system development and operations.
For this position, we are seeking someone who can lead the strengthening of global information system security by verifying the actual conditions, physical assets, and reality of our information systems to identify risks without omission, and implementing optimal security controls in consultation with our Information Systems Department and business divisions.

Department Overview

The Information Security Office, to which you will be assigned, is tasked with protecting our customers’ valuable personal information and all confidential information within our company. It establishes and operates a system for developing global security policies, providing training, and continuously monitoring whether these policies are being properly implemented and enforced.
The Information Security Office operates not only in Japan but across all countries where we do business globally, within a highly diverse organizational structure. With Japan—as our global headquarters—serving as the command center, the office consistently handles policy formulation, training, risk assessment, monitoring, and improvement regarding security risks that could impact global business operations.
Rather than focusing on local optimization, we take a holistic view of information security measures, devise optimal strategies for all global operations, and—while engaging with a wide variety of stakeholders, business functions, and technologies—promote the introduction and operation of technologies to strengthen security measures, as well as the implementation of risk mitigation strategies for systems.
