Unilever Future Leadership Programme - Marketing UK at Unilever

The three-year, world-class development programme is packed with variety and challenge, with the opportunity of promotion to manager level after 3 years. You’ll develop your leadership skills by working on live projects that offer you all the experience you need to become ready for your first management role. 

What will the programme involve? 

Over three years you’ll cover up to three placements: 

• During your local (UK & Ireland) brand-building placements you will get exposure to commercial marketing and have the opportunity to work with iconic brands like Dove, Persil, Sure, and, Marmite, managing brand mixes across all their elements.  
• You may also get the chance to work with our brand development teams on strategy, product innovation, and advertising development at a global or regional level. 
• You will get hands-on exposure to Customer Development (Sales), where you will build relationships, examine relevant data, own financial forecasting, agree on a tailored business plan, or negotiate promotions. 
• First-hand experience – it’s the fastest way to learn. The Unilever culture is varied, friendly, and encourages innovative thinking. We will push and support you to achieve your potential, whilst giving you the chance to shape your career path according to your interests, strengths, and aspirations. 

What could your day-to-day role include (depending on your role)? 

• You’ll be constantly deepening the already expert knowledge of our brands and the people who use them. You’ll use this level of insight to help develop our products’ personalities and bring them to life. That could mean working on the launch of a new deodorant undertaking research on the latest trends in hair care, looking at sponsorship opportunities, or planning our social first campaign. Our people have the opportunity to make a big impact every day on a local level, across Europe, and around the globe.
