About the Job

Requirements

  • Alignment with the missions and values of the Mercari Group and its companies.
  • Experience managing or leading recruiting in an operating company.
  • Experience leading a new-graduate or potential-talent recruiting cycle, including recruiting strategy, candidate-pool development, selection design, and candidate-experience improvement.
  • Experience advancing recruiting policies and initiatives through alignment with multiple stakeholders, such as executives, business leaders, and Human Resources Business Partners.
  • Japanese proficiency at CEFR C1 is required.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the Mercari Group's new-graduate recruiting strategy and medium- to long-term planning from execution through review, and be accountable for recruiting outcomes.
  • Partner with executives, business leaders, and Human Resources Business Partners to design and make decisions on recruiting targets, hiring criteria, headcount, and job-specific policies based on business and organizational strategy.
  • Reconsider and redesign talent requirements, hiring criteria, selection design, candidate experience, and recruiting processes for the AI era, testing hypotheses rather than merely extending existing practices.
  • Use recruiting data, candidate and student responses, selection outcomes, and post-hire performance information to continuously evaluate and improve recruiting initiatives, criteria, and team operations.
  • Set goals and priorities for the new-graduate recruiting team, develop team members, and assign work to enable the team to deliver results.
  • As appropriate to experience and interests, lead cross-functional initiatives that support group-wide recruiting transformation, such as broader recruiting strategy, process design, and talent-pipeline development.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience redesigning or updating recruiting practices beyond established methods in response to changes in business, organizations, or the recruiting market.
  • Experience recruiting product-development roles such as Product Managers, Designers, Data Analysts, or Engineers.
  • Experience leading recruiting and organizational development in a venture or startup as a C-suite executive, business leader, head of HR, or equivalent, including involvement in new-graduate recruiting.
  • Experience redesigning recruiting processes or candidate experience using recruiting data, applicant tracking systems, dashboards, or AI tools.
  • Experience recruiting global talent, recruiting at overseas universities or among international students, or conducting recruiting activities in English.
  • Experience connecting recruiting with onboarding, employee development, placement, or Human Resources Business Partner functions.
  • English proficiency at CEFR B2 is preferred.

Mercari

Peer-to-peer mobile marketplace for secondhand goods

Mercari operates a mobile peer-to-peer marketplace for buying and selling secondhand goods. Users list items by taking photos in the app, and buyers complete purchases there, with payments held in escrow until receipt is confirmed. Revenue comes from seller fees (10% in Japan; 10% plus 3.6% buyer protection in the US), plus Merpay payments and promoted listings, plus shipping partnerships for integrated delivery. The platform differentiates itself through a simple mobile experience, escrow and buyer protection, shipping integration, and a broader marketplace including Mercari Shops for sellers, with a goal of extending product life and supporting a circular economy.
