Reason for Hiring:

To realize Fast Retailing’s business vision—“Having the clothes customers truly want, right where they are, when they want them, and ready to buy”—the Global Supply Chain Management Department aims to establish the ultimate supply chain worldwide, one that “manufactures, transports, and sells exactly what is needed, exactly when it is needed.” Achieving this requires the continuous review and improvement of logistics infrastructure related to transportation and distribution, including the development of an optimal global supply chain and the establishment and strengthening of strategic partnerships.

For this position, we are seeking a leadership candidate to advance the supply chain for UNIQLO—which operates in more than 25 countries and regions and has over 2,500 stores worldwide—by further refining the store delivery system developed in Japan and establishing a system in each country where the company operates globally that ensures merchandise ordered by stores is delivered within two business days of shipment.

Department Overview:

The Global Supply Chain Management Department’s Store Delivery Team, to which you will be assigned, is responsible for managing deliveries to UNIQLO and GU stores. It plays a critical role in connecting “warehouses,” where merchandise is stored and shipped, with “stores,” where customers shop. The team’s mission is to implement new, efficient, and advanced delivery systems—going beyond conventional methods—to reduce the workload associated with receiving shipments, thereby allowing store staff to focus on serving customers on the sales floor.

To achieve this, we collaborate with external partner companies to support store operations from a logistics perspective. This includes securing delivery capacity tailored to shipment volumes, evaluating and implementing value-added services to reduce the workload on store staff, and exploring and implementing low-cost delivery solutions through optimized delivery routes.

We will expand the delivery expertise we have cultivated in Japan to the global stage and work to streamline and advance delivery operations worldwide.

Job Description：

After joining the company, you will deepen your understanding of the business through on-the-job training (OJT) at stores, warehouses, and other field locations. We expect you to eventually lead projects beyond just delivery operations for UNIQLO and GU stores in Japan, such as the following:

• Projects aimed at achieving high-quality store deliveries in countries where we operate globally, including the selection and development of partner companies to address challenges, as well as projects to further enhance delivery services in collaboration with partner companies and various internal departments

• Projects aimed at resolving delivery challenges for stores in Japan in anticipation of the “Logistics 2030 Problem”
