This department acts as Nissan’s “face,” negotiating with suppliers and procuring all goods and services necessary for the business.

Our role is to realize the changes facing the automotive industry—such as vehicle electrification, automation, and carbon neutrality—at prices that satisfy customers. We handle not only parts and equipment but also energy and advertising essential for our operations. We select suppliers considering not only price but also quality and development capabilities. To ensure sound business operations for both Nissan and its suppliers, employees with diverse backgrounds exchange opinions and collaborate on work.

One of the features of this department is the opportunity to work globally while based in Japan, through collaboration with overseas sites. You will be involved in both new vehicle development and current vehicle production through parts procurement and project management. Employees have significant discretion, engaging in two-way communication with various stakeholders inside and outside the company, often leading their own ideas to breakthroughs. Regardless of whether you come from a humanities or sciences background, the appeal of procurement work is the chance to experience the joy of manufacturing close to the actual worksite.
