UNIQLO Manager Candidate (UMC)

At , we don’t just offer jobs—we cultivate future leaders. The  UNIQLO Manager Candidate (UMC) Program  is an accelerated leadership development track designed for ambitious young graduates who aspire to become key decision-makers in a global retail powerhouse.

We see the sales floor as our center for understanding what our customers really want, confronting challenges head-on, and deriving actions to achieve rapid success. A global leader needs to be able to consider and execute business decisions on their own initiative. That's why our UMC program places a strong emphasis on working in-store and offers rapid career progression opportunities.At UNIQLO, the UMC (Uniqlo Manager Candidate) position is the gateway to becoming a Store Manager, and ultimately an Area Manager—roles that lead directly to top global leadership positions such as CEO and COO in our various markets. Unlike conventional companies where strategic power is concentrated at the head office and stores merely execute, UNIQLO operates the opposite way : we are proudly store-centered. Our Area Managers and Store Managers are the company’s most influential decision-makers. They set the direction, define priorities, and guide the head office—not the other way around.

If your goal is to sit behind a desk in five to ten years, overseeing operations from a distance, this role is not for you.
