Department Overview

Why We Hire

As the number of contracted lines for Rakuten Mobile increases, acquiring corporate line contracts, which are the core of Rakuten Mobile's business, has become increasingly important.

In particular, with the aim of increasing the number of Rakuten Mobile line contracts through sales channels, we are seeking to strengthen our vendor structure to better support and respond to the sales department, and we are looking for new ideas that are not bound by conventional methods.

Position Details

The Order Management Team manages multiple vendors and implements operational and system improvements based on feedback from the field, handling the entire flow from when the sales team acquires a line contract through negotiations with a customer to when the contract is delivered to the customer.

The specific tasks of the vendors we commission include the following three points:

Registering line contract information and application details in the system.
Changing system information for existing customers (cancellations, information changes, direct debit, etc.).
Changing application details (plan changes, adding/removing options).
The Order Management Team works in cooperation with various departments, including the sales department that acquires line contracts, the outsourced vendors who handle the actual operations, delivery companies, business management that handles sales and order/invoice management, and engineers who build and operate the systems used.

Basically, you will be required to come to the office and communicate face-to-face, but telecommuting is possible up to once a week. Flextime is also available, allowing you to work in a way that suits your lifestyle. Our outsourced vendors have bases in Ehime and Fukuoka, and communication with them is primarily via Teams and Zoom. However, there will be opportunities to visit the outsourced vendors about once a year to directly check on the work situation and gather their opinions. 

Work Environment

This team is primarily composed of young members in their 20s and 30s, including those who joined through mid-career recruitment and contract workers. It's a flat organization with a friendly atmosphere where communication is easy.

While this department has traditionally had a high number of new graduate hires, it also includes members with diverse backgrounds, such as those who joined through mid-career recruitment and those working as contractors.
