What this role is

This role leads design for Rakuten's shopping expansion surfaces—gift cards, dining, and in-store experiences—where you'll set direction across a portfolio of distinct product areas that integrate with third-party systems and turn operational complexity into intuitive member experiences. It suits a designer who synthesizes across industries quickly, context-switches fluidly between domains, and can balance high craft with high impact through research and experimentation.
