Job Description

■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 that engages directly with this feedback, which comes from all over 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 directly, convey it promptly to executives and relevant departments, and foster an environment where management decisions are made based on that feedback.
While the foundation for reflecting customer feedback in management is taking shape, we are seeking someone who can utilize various technologies to drive the development of a platform that enables more efficient and continuous collection, analysis, and management decision-making.

■ 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: (1) a Call Center Team that engages directly with customers to understand their concerns and needs; (2) a Transformation Promotion Team that comprehensively identifies challenges and opportunities based on call center interactions, e-commerce product reviews, in-store feedback, and social media comments, and reflects these insights into company-wide decision-making;and (3) a CS Infrastructure Team responsible for building the systems and foundations to ensure these two roles are carried out efficiently and continuously. This recruitment is for the (3) team.

■ Job Description
The mission of this position is to lead company-wide business transformation by placing “Voice of the Customer (VOC)” gathered from around the world at the center of product development and management strategy.

You will fundamentally streamline and enhance our current, person-dependent customer support operations by leveraging the latest technologies, such as generative AI. You will then shift the resources freed up by these efforts toward "activities that turn the Voice of the Customer into business," thereby realizing "management that responds to customer needs and creates new customers."

The scope of this initiative extends broadly to global customer centers. We will guide you toward implementation using every available means, from defining the “ideal state” and identifying challenges to collaborating with the IT department and external partners. Specifically, we will address the following themes by prioritizing them based on business urgency and impact.

A. Building a foundation for “VOC Utilization Promotion” that directly links customer feedback to management and business operations (Business Transformation)
Rather than merely collecting data, we will build a system that visualizes customer feedback in real time and directly links it to product improvements and management decision-making.
(1) Collection and integration of VOC from all channels (product reviews, CS surveys for stores, e-commerce, delivery, etc.)
(2) Business process automation to link data to business actions (automation of report generation and data aggregation)
(3) Promotion of Proof of Concept (PoC) for the latest tools aimed at improving the customer experience and leveraging data

B. "Advanced Customer Service" Utilizing Generative AI (Technology Adoption)
We will build a cutting-edge customer support environment that thoroughly eliminates manual tasks, allowing staff to focus on "high-value-added interactions" that only humans can provide.
(1) Advancing chatbots using generative AI (multilingual support, automatic response generation, etc.)
(2) Fundamental improvement of the omnichannel response infrastructure (including phone, chat, and email) (Strengthening integration with cloud contact centers and CRM tools)
(3) Review of the infrastructure and foundations supporting the next-generation customer center environment

C. "Standardization of Business Processes" Across the Global Organization (Operational Transformation)
We will move away from a situation where offices around the world operate independently and redesign business processes to provide high-quality services as a unified global entity.
(1) Global standardization of knowledge management (creation and standardization of country-wide FAQ sites, as well as internal knowledge sharing and workflows)
(2) Establishment of data-driven site operations (standardization of staffing plans and operational management, development of KPI dashboards, and standardization of analysis procedures)
(3) The ultimate challenge: "Full automation"
*Please note that job responsibilities may change depending on department transfers and organizational changes, within the scope of duties related to each department at headquarters.
