Starting your career

Customer Development

How would you position a new product in a competitive market?

Our brands need to be available wherever and whenever shoppers want them. In a changing world, that means much more than keeping store shelves stocked. 24/7 availability is a challenge that now includes mobile phone shopping apps and online retailers, to name just two recent innovations. In Customer Development, we keep ahead of the latest developments – negotiating and championing our brands to be heroes across each and every channel. You’ll be delivering strategies that allow our retail partners to grow their categories by delivering actionable, in-depth insight on our customers.

You’ll explore shopping issues and find opportunities to make experiences even better. Over three placements, you’ll develop your own tenacity, judgment and talent. All the while you’ll be developing Unilever as a business partner of choice for retailers, standing apart from our competitors in every way. You could spend time in Account Management, Category Management, Customer Marketing or Business to Business. Wherever you hone your skills, you’ll get a thorough feel for our business and become an ambassador for our brands.
