With iconic brands like Ray-Ban, Oakley, Oliver Peoples, and exclusive licenses for fashion houses such as Prada, Chanel, and Burberry, we blend innovation, craftsmanship, and style into every frame.
At Luxottica Japan, we are driving growth in one of the world’s most dynamic retail markets. Our success is built on people – passionate, agile professionals who thrive in a fast-paced, diverse, and collaborative environment.

The HR Business Partner (HRBP) for Professional Services will lead and implement comprehensive HR initiatives to support the Professional Services (Wholesale) organization, covering all office-based commercial and enabling functions, excluding retail management.

A core responsibility of this role is to enhance the leadership capabilities of people managers and to drive organizational change in a dynamic, fast-paced business environment. Success in this role requires strong partnerships with senior internal stakeholders, excellent communication skills, deep business acumen, and the ability to design and deliver forward-thinking HR solutions that align with evolving business needs.
This position is based in Tokyo and may require occasional domestic travel. While there are no initial people management responsibilities, the role is expected to grow with the business and may expand to include the supervision of a Junior HRBP as organizational demands increase.

• Identify coaching and development needs across all employee levels and propose tailored solutions.
• Independently manage and resolve performance-related issues in alignment with company policies.
• Lead and drive key HR initiatives that contribute to a high-performing culture.
• Leverage knowledge of employment law to resolve complex employee relations cases in collaboration with leadership and legal teams.

What We’re Looking For

• Minimum 5 years of HR experience, preferably within the fast-paced FMCG or Retail sector.
• Proven ability to strategically lead, influence, and effectively support HR initiatives.
• Strong analytical mindset with a results-driven approach.
• Excellent problem-solving skills combined with a proactive, can-do “make it happen” attitude.
• Effective persuasive and coaching communication skills, comfortable engaging with both large and small groups.
• Good understanding of Japanese labor laws and regulations.
• Strong people sense with excellent leadership intuition.
• Proficient in MS Office and SAP HR systems.
