Data Analytics

Mercari’s Data Analytics Team aims to become the brain that drives the growth of Mercari by using data to support the decision-making processes of both our leadership and product teams.

Data Analytics at Mercari

The Data Analytics Team at Mercari uses data to help build Mercari’s future, as the brain behind the company’s growth. As Mercari diversifies into industries such as e-commerce, payments, and logistics, and prepares to expand globally, the Data Analytics Team is increasingly called upon to find new ways of utilizing Mercari Group’s ever-expanding data. The team reports directly to the company’s executives, so it has many opportunities to provide insight, make suggestions, and be involved in decision-making that affect the future of Mercari. It is made up of analysts from a variety of backgrounds, including engineers, strategy consultants, marketers, and corporate planners. The team as a whole brings many skills to the table and works to solve essential problems by conducting deep analysis using both qualitative and quantitative methods.

Bold Challenge

Big Impact

Creating world-class services, organizations, and mechanisms

The Data Analytics Team primarily works with Mercari Japan, the company behind the Mercari marketplace app and its 20-million-strong user base. The team also works with Mercari Group companies including Mercari US, our logistics business Merlogi, and Souzoh, which focuses on developing new businesses for Mercari Group. Being able to seamlessly access data across all companies and go beyond business or national boundaries, the team is in a unique position to lead the growth of Mercari Group going forward. Mercari still has a lot of growth ahead if it is to fulfill its mission of “Circulate all forms of value to unleash the potential in all people.” That means not only scaling up existing businesses, but also diversifying and creating new ones. One of the most rewarding aspects of working in the Data Analytics Team is that you can take part in projects that directly impact the lives of our users.

Micro Decision

Taking ownership, making decisions, and taking action in an evolving organization

Mercari has established a data-driven culture that enables us to make timely decisions and achieve our goals faster. Our analysts are involved in every step of the process, from raising issues to planning and implementing initiatives, allowing them to act as the catalysts for change themselves, rather than just passively react to requests. They are expected to come up with bold and elaborate ideas and proposals since, in many cases, those ideas are directly reflected in decision-making and concrete initiatives within the company. Being able to take ownership of a project and see it through to the end is one of the most exciting aspects of working on the Data Analytics Team at Mercari.

Diversity & Inclusion

Working to achieve our mission in a strong team leveraging each individual’s skills and diversity

We believe that in order to create a product that can meet the needs of our diverse users, it is important for our organization to be diverse as well. This is why we have analysts with many diverse backgrounds in the team, including people from different countries helping us develop our product. Having members with different skills, cultures, and values fosters a unique environment where analysts can discuss issues from various perspectives and produce better results. Our aim is to leverage diversity within the organization to deliver new value to more people all over the world.
