Sales and Marketing at Unilever

Customer Development (Sales) ensures that our brands are available wherever the shopper wishes to buy them. Managing relationships with key retailers with skill and sensitivity makes all the difference. Our customers recognise the effectiveness with which our work drives our business and theirs. This has led to a number of retailers recognising us as their supplier of the year.

Marketing teams bring great products to life in the eyes of consumers. Building our brands and communications means building and maintaining relationships that can last for generations. A creative flair will see you go far, but marketing is commercially focused and demands strong business skills to actually make things happen. It takes a deep sense of logic, ambition, organisational and analytical skills, a head for figures and great gut instincts.

What do we look for?

It is important that you have fully developed communication skills. But most important is an analytical, result/business oriented and energetic personality. We are looking for someone with a great internal drive and who takes ownership for tasks and can set their own goals.
