About PayPay
PayPay is a fintech company that has surpassed 75 million users in approximately 8 years since launching its service in 2018, and is composed of diverse members gathered from about 50 countries and regions.
OUR VISION IS UNLIMITED_
We believe that we do not need a clear vision in order to create a future that exceeds our own imagination. Always maintaining a "Day 1" stance, PayPay realizes visions (futures) that no one can imagine. We are looking for professionals who will proactively engage with this grand vision, refine products with an overwhelming speed that others cannot imitate, passionately drive the widespread adoption of cashless payments in Japan and its use as a financial life platform, discover challenges themselves, and work together with those around them to drive the creation of new value.
About the Role
▼ Introduction to the Financial Strategy Department The Financial Strategy Department supports PayPay's sustainable growth from a financial perspective through M&A, capital policy, capital market relations, etc. The members and managers consist of a small, elite team of former investment bankers. While maintaining high standards for logical organization and output quality, there is an environment where each individual can proactively lead entire projects. It is a flat organization where you can work with significant discretion.
