■Recruitment Background
As the Fast Retailing Group continues to grow and transform with the goal of becoming the world’s number one, the Finance Department is expected to take responsibility for the numbers as a driver of profit growth. It must lead transformation and problem-solving by organically linking each company and department through a dual perspective that combines a company-wide overview with an on-the-ground view.To drive this forward, we are not seeking candidates specialized in specific areas of planning and management (such as accounting, finance, tax, IR, strategic planning, or procurement). Instead, we are looking for individuals who possess specialized expertise while also being able to identify and solve problems from a company-wide and cross-departmental perspective—those who aspire to become future CFOs or aim to be management talent and global leaders in their specialized fields.

■ Department Overview
The Planning and Management Department, the finance division of the Fast Retailing Group, consists of teams responsible for accounting, finance, tax, IR, business planning, procurement, and finance process transformation.Each team not only drives business growth within its respective specialized field but also works collaboratively across disciplines to identify business challenges based on data and on-the-ground realities, and to promote problem-solving that involves other business units and functions. Additionally, the department drives low-cost, high-efficiency management; establishes internal controls befitting a company aiming to be the global No. 1; and promotes the construction of highly efficient operations and process transformation under the "Global One" framework.
This is a department where you can play a wide range of roles, going beyond your current area of expertise to lead problem-solving from a cross-functional and company-wide perspective, thereby contributing to business growth and transformation.
