■Recruitment Background
The Fast Retailing Group operates under the management philosophy that “meets customer needs and creates new customers,” which is enshrined as the first principle of our corporate philosophy. To realize this, we base all our transformations and decision-making on customer feedback. The Customer Center is the department responsible for addressing this feedback, which comes from customers around the world.Precisely because this is such a critical organization, we have positioned it directly under management and operate it entirely in-house. This allows our employees to hear customer feedback firsthand, convey it promptly to executives and relevant departments, and foster an environment where management decisions are made based on customer insights.
While the foundation for incorporating customer feedback into management is taking shape, we are seeking individuals who can join us in accelerating the identification of challenges, new product development, and service improvements.

■ Department Overview
・As an organization that embodies our management philosophy, the Customer Center’s mission is to “lead transformation as the representative of customers worldwide to deeply understand them and deliver optimal service.”To achieve this, we have two teams: (1) the Call Center Team, which engages in direct dialogue with customers to understand their concerns and needs, and (2) the Transformation Promotion Team, which comprehensively identifies challenges and opportunities based on call center interactions, e-commerce product reviews, in-store feedback, and social media comments, and incorporates these insights into company-wide decision-making.This opening is for a position within the Transformation Promotion Team (2), specifically in the “Product Development” domain, which is the core of UNIQLO’s business.
・As UNIQLO Japan serves as the Global Headquarters (GHQ), we expect you to lead the development and improvement of products and services by identifying various challenges based on customer feedback gathered from over 20 countries and regions.

■ Job Description
・You will engage with every single piece of feedback received from customers daily and use a customer-centric approach to inform UNIQLO’s product development decisions. Upon joining, you will serve as the lead for one of UNIQLO’s product categories—such as Women’s, Men’s, or Kids—and take end-to-end responsibility for the process from identifying challenges to implementing improvements.
・Drawing on a wide range of information—including customer feedback via phone, reviews on our e-commerce site, input from store staff, and broader market trends—you will formulate hypotheses regarding challenges with existing products and potential customer needs. You will then design and conduct research, including interviews, to validate these hypotheses. From there, you will identify specific challenges, facilitate discussions and proposals with relevant internal departments, engage diverse stakeholders, and ultimately ensure these insights are reflected in executive decision-making.
・You will be responsible for the entire global portfolio within your assigned category.
・In addition to your category responsibilities, you will also lead cross-functional global projects tailored to the challenges at hand.
