■Recruitment Background
Fast Retailing is expanding its store network with the goal of becoming the world’s most sought-after and beloved brand through “clothing”—an essential part of people’s lives around the globe.Currently, UNIQLO is achieving record-breaking performance both domestically and internationally, and the business continues to grow steadily. To support this growth, we are seeking individuals who can redefine stores—not merely as sales outlets, but as infrastructure that drives business growth and creates brand value—with a focus on business expansion and sustainable store development, and who can advance the design and functionality of store facilities.

■ Department Overview
The Facility Management division within the Store Development Department, to which you will be assigned, is responsible for managing facilities at approximately 4,500 stores across 26 countries and regions worldwide. It supports brand value through safe, secure, and environmentally conscious store operations. Given our rapidly expanding store network, our mission extends beyond the maintenance of buildings and equipment to include the design and implementation of store evolution from a medium- to long-term perspective.We aim to achieve a balance between sustainability, cost, and quality while striving for continuous improvement in customer satisfaction and brand value.

■Job Description
Starting with repairs and issue resolution at stores both domestically and internationally, we analyze the root causes and understand the underlying structure, then incorporate this feedback into design and specifications to drive continuous improvement and standardization of store quality.
Going beyond mere repairs and maintenance, you will use insights gained from daily operations to structurally identify “what kind of design and equipment can prevent issues before they occur,” and play a key role in applying these insights to improve both new and existing stores.
You will be assigned to either the Global Facility Management Team or the Domestic Facility Management Team, with the decision based on your experience and career aspirations.

○ Global Facility Management Team
As the head of facility management for overseas stores, you will collaborate with facility management staff in each country to organize and determine repair and maintenance strategies and directions for improvement, driving long-term standardization and quality enhancement on a global scale. Specifically, your responsibilities will include the following:

・Exercising leadership as the Global Headquarters (GHQ): Leading facility managers in each country and spearheading repair and maintenance policies and improvements
・Promoting operational standardization and quality improvement: Utilizing operational platforms and data to promote the standardization of repair and maintenance approaches and operational standards
・Promoting sustainable facility operations: Strengthening environmental and safety measures through greenhouse gas reduction, resource utilization, and disaster preparedness
・Strengthening partnerships with external contractors: Building relationships with external partners involved in repairs and maintenance and achieving cost optimization, etc.

○ Domestic Facility Management Team
Starting with repairs and issue resolution at approximately 1,200 domestic stores, you will analyze root causes and develop measures to prevent recurrence, leading to improvements in design, specifications, and operational processes, and thereby promote the creation of stores that customers continue to choose.

・Promotion of Medium- to Long-Term Repair and Maintenance Plans: Work in collaboration with relevant stakeholders to comprehensively manage medium- to long-term repair and maintenance plans for stores, from planning through execution
・Analysis of Repairs and Defect Resolution: Systematically analyze issues that arise at stores to identify root causes and outline improvement strategies
・Incorporation into Design Standards and Equipment Specifications: Provide feedback based on analysis results to inform the design of new stores and the review of specifications for existing stores
・Standardization of business processes: Organize response and decision-making criteria, and promote the creation of operational systems that ensure reproducible results
*The Job Description is subject to change within the scope of duties related to various headquarters departments due to departmental transfers or organizational changes.

■ Career Path
Initially, you will familiarize yourself with the role through daily repair and maintenance tasks. You will then be entrusted with standardizing criteria and business processes to improve the quality and efficiency of operations in this area, refining medium- to long-term repair plans, and strengthening the organization and its functions.

Subsequently, we expect you to take on a leadership role in establishing facility management as a company-wide, reproducible system—rather than one reliant on individual expertise—and to lead efforts to achieve high-level results by engaging external partners and internal team members both within and outside your team.

In the future, you may also have the opportunity to build and roll out store quality and operational standards on a global scale.
