Recruitment Background

Fast Retailing aims to transcend the traditional retail framework and transform into a “Digital Consumer Retail Company,” with the goal of becoming the world’s leading apparel group.
UNIQLO, a subsidiary of Fast Retailing, now operates in 26 countries, and customer payment needs (retail payments) are becoming increasingly diverse. To manage and oversee these payments globally while ensuring security and reliability and meeting customer needs, we are now recruiting new team members to join us.

Department Overview

This team, based within the headquarters’ finance function, oversees payment operations for stores and e-commerce. Specifically, we plan and deliver new shopping experiences and expand the range of associated payment methods. We also strengthen payment governance across our global operations and serve as the primary point of contact for negotiations with credit card companies.

Job Description

• Conceiving payment services to enhance the customer shopping experience and launching new services
• Negotiating with credit card companies and other parties to optimize payment costs
• Implementing security enhancements in collaboration with country-level representatives to minimize payment fraud (unauthorized use)

To drive these initiatives forward, you will need knowledge of retail payments in various countries, an understanding of industry trends and foresight, the ability to negotiate with local payment providers, and the capacity to collaborate with the CEOs and CFOs of our group brands in each country.
*The Job Description is subject to change within the scope of duties related to each department at headquarters due to departmental transfers or organizational changes.
