Career progression

Experience

Unilever's success depends on brands, categories and customers. This breadth of experience will form part of your world-class professional learning. What's more, your career will be increasingly interlinked with Customer Development and R&D. 

Skills

As you progress, you'll develop a solid platform of general business skills such as change, project and information management. This will enable you to operate as part of a multi-functional team. It also builds your agility and creativity to address business issues from various angles, capture opportunities and implement optimal solutions.

Performance

Continued progress will depend on consistent delivery and performance. You’ll gain experience by taking on multiple roles, working across various categories and regions, and managing projects that involve other areas. This helps ensure that different teams, functions and elements of the organisation operate together.

Leadership

Leaders have a dual responsibility: to deliver results now and in the future through coaching and developing capability in their team. Both require proven expertise in your chosen area and strong business acumen. To advance into senior leadership, it’s important to acquire local as well as regional or global experience.

Qualities

We're looking for people to work in both general and specialist areas. For specialist roles, such as engineering, specific qualifications are required. Otherwise there are certain skills and abilities that are common to all positions. You need to be organised, hands-on and good at managing people, projects, information and change.
