Your unique style has the power
to shape the future of entertainment.

With the group mission and purpose “Captivate the World -Making Life More Colorful-”,
the SEGA SAMMY Group delivers a wide variety of entertainment to the world.
The experiences we strive to create go beyond mere “fun.”
It’s about delivering moments that exceed expectations and move hearts—
a new kind of value that will stay etched in people’s memories forever.
That is the true essence of our existence.

The entertainment industry is often regarded as one of the fastest-changing sectors.
What was commonplace yesterday may become outdated today.
Society, technology, and people’s values evolve at an astonishing pace every day.
To navigate these turbulent waves of change and even enjoy them,
we must continually update our knowledge and skills so that we can consistently exceed people’s expectations.
That is precisely why we have established learning environments, exemplified by the “SEGA SAMMY College,”
and introduced HR systems that value both the ambition and capability required to achieve our group mission and purpose.
A mindset geared toward continuous learning and the courage to take on challenges is what will empower us to shape the future.

SEGA SAMMY HOLDINGS serves as a guiding torch for the entire Group, illuminating the path forward.
Our mission as a holding company is to optimize the allocation of management resources,
support our colleagues in addressing their challenges, and maximize corporate value.
Challenges that cannot be accomplished alone can be achieved by harnessing the power of the Group.
Thus, together with our Group partners, we continue to drive boldly forward into the future.

The theme we value most in our recruitment activities is “empathy and originality.”
We want you to express your true self—boldly and authentically.
We, too, will engage with you as we are, without pretense.
This is not an age of cautious, incremental change—from version 1.0 to 1.1.
It’s an age of bold leaps—toward 2.0, even 3.0.
That’s why SEGA SAMMY is the perfect stage for those who relentlessly strive to improve themselves and can truly embrace the joy of change.
“Inspire the world with your uniqueness.”
Let’s bring that vision to life,
captivating the world together and making life in Japan and the world more colorful in the process.
