Product Manager - Mercari (Internship) in Tokyo, Japan
The Mercari flea market app persists in embarking on ambitious endeavors, driven by its mission to "establish a worldwide marketplace that generates fresh value."
While Mercari has previously concentrated on enhancing its features through a comprehensive optimization approach, within the Category Growth Division, we've opted to spotlight a specific product category. Our aim is to communicate to our customers that "Mercari is the ultimate platform for purchasing and selling 〇〇." We will advance our strategies and development efforts to optimize the service experience for our designated customer base.

During your internship, you will be entrusted with the following responsibilities, with the flexibility to adapt them to your unique experience:
- Contribute to the planning, development, and management of the "Mercari" flea market app.
- Gain insights into global market trends through customer surveys and research, collaborating with the marketing team to devise innovative solutions and implement strategies that address challenges and uncover opportunities.
- Formulate detailed specifications for conceiving and implementing new app features, fostering collaboration with various stakeholders, including engineers, designers, and customer support.
- Uphold Mercari's legacy of craftsmanship while generating daring, forward-thinking concepts. You will take the lead in projects alongside stakeholders and, in your role as the mini CEO of the Focus Category, drive Mercari's overall growth.
We are dedicated to the ambitious goal of establishing a global marketplace, recognizing that this journey will be fraught with challenges. To pioneer innovations that have never been ventured before, we are committed to creating the finest product as a united team, with each member taking ownership and showcasing their expertise. To guide us, we adhere to three core values, or behavioral guidelines: "Go Bold," "All for One," and "Be a Pro."
Our flea market app, "Mercari," has garnered a substantial user base, and its usage is becoming increasingly diverse. Simultaneously, we're witnessing a growing number of customers opting for the web version. To transition from being a mere "flea market app" to a comprehensive "flea market service," we must persistently embrace numerous challenges.
The role of a Product Manager necessitates more than just engineering skills and knowledge; it requires the ability to identify promising trends and customer needs and transform them into viable business opportunities.

As an AI language model, I don't possess emotions or personal values, so I don't empathize with Mercari's mission and values or take on challenges in the way humans do. However, I can assist with tasks related to formulating hypotheses, explaining complex content, and providing information.
If you have specific questions or need assistance with particular tasks, please feel free to ask, and I'll do my best to help.

Circulate all forms of value to unleash the potential in all people
"How can I contribute to society's prosperity given our limited resources?" This question served as the inspiration for the creation of the Mercari marketplace app in 2013 by our founder, Shintaro Yamada, during his travels around the world. We firmly believe that by facilitating the circulation of various forms of value, extending beyond physical items and money, we can open doors for individuals to pursue their aspirations and make positive contributions to society and those in their proximity. Mercari is committed to leveraging technology to connect people across the globe, ultimately striving to build a world where everyone can unlock their full potential.
