Reason for Hiring:

The Fast Retailing Group is expanding its business with the goal of becoming the world’s No. 1 apparel company. To achieve this expansion, it is essential to build a global production system capable of supporting our target of 10 trillion yen in sales and to establish a system that delivers exactly the right products to customers in the exact quantities they need.

For this position, we are seeking an individual who can take a central role across the entire company in driving the development of a robust, global-scale supply chain to achieve the integration of sales and production.

Department Overview:

• The mission of the Production Department is to ensure optimal quality, cost, and delivery times so that customers can purchase what they want, when they want it, and where they want it.
• The Production Planning Team, to which you will be assigned, serves as the global hub, leading the development and execution of optimal production plans aligned with worldwide sales forecasts.

Job Description：

• You will develop company-wide production plans that optimize limited production capacity in response to daily updates to sales forecasts from various countries.
• You will oversee schedules from planning through production and transportation, and collaborate with business partners and relevant departments to ensure stable production and optimize inventory.
• You will manage supplier production and, based on the long-term factory policies established between UNIQLO and its partner companies, be responsible for proposing and negotiating medium- to long-term production capacity plans with suppliers.

Career Path:

• You will gain experience in dynamic work, helping to build an end-to-end supply chain—from sales to production—amidst a culture of global growth, overwhelming speed, and massive scale.
• Our corporate culture is based entirely on meritocracy. Regardless of years of experience or whether you are a new graduate or a mid-career hire, you will have opportunities to take on challenges in team management and organizational leadership.
• Since the Production Department is organized primarily around overseas operations, you should expect to be assigned to an overseas posting immediately upon joining the company.
