Inspiration from consumers
R&D teams make brands come to life – they promote innovation across every aspect of their development. Based in six research centres across three continents, your work with them will make our brands bigger, bolder, and more exciting.
R&D draws inspiration from consumers and the market to lead research and idea generation and contribute to product design. There will be times when you'll need to work to tight deadlines, but you'll be given the opportunity to step back and explore an exciting new idea.
You could be involved in patent protection, regulatory compliance or ensuring that our activities have the lowest possible impact on the environment. Allied with this, championing product design or implementing best-practice quality and hygiene systems are all crucial functions of the R&D sphere.
Our R&D teams are known as some of the world's best, participating in professional networks and teaming up with leading external experts. As part of one, you'll enjoy a working environment that's challenging, creative, and intellectually stimulating, as well as experiencing many different areas of our business.
For research & development you need:
- A degree, MSc or PhD in chemistry, engineering, biology, physical science, behavioural science or design or any other relevant technical area.
- A passion for innovation and the determination to bring new ideas to consumers.
- Creativity, as well as the ability to make things happen on time.
- Excellent interpersonal, teamwork and leadership skills.
