The HR opportunity of a lifetime – Made by you!Unilever’s purpose is to improve the everyday life of our consumers – to anticipate the aspirations of our consumers and customers and to respond creatively and competitively with branded products and services, which raise the quality of life. Our products touch the lives of 2 billion people every day, and as our business grows, so do our responsibilities. We have therefore committed to developing new ways of doing business that will allow us to double the size of our company while reducing our environmental impact.

The Unilever Future Leaders Programme 2015The Unilever Future Leaders Programme (UFLP) is about having a big impact on business, right from the start. It’s about growing iconic multi-million euro, market-leading brands from day one. It’s about learning the business fast. You’ll tap into continuous business mentoring, excellent training and hands-on responsibility. You’ll learn like you’ve never learned before.

It’s challenging, make no mistake. But we´re looking to make future managers of you within two to three years. By focusing on your whole development, personally and professionally, we’ll concentrate on three key areas: learning by experience, learning through people and formal learning. From day one you’ll be given the responsibility to solve a variety of surprising and important issues- you’ll have real ownership of key decisions.

Future focused feedback and challenging goals drives innovation and ambition within our performance culture and inclusive and informal environment. We will push you to achieve your potential and make a big business impact where you learn from the best. Our people have the opportunity to make a big impact every day on a local level, across Europe and the globe. We have a proven tradition of developing our own purpose driven leaders and encourage innovative thinking.

Unilever has the impact it does because of its people. HR is considered a core rather than a support function, playing a role in shaping business strategy. Within HR you will help to create an environment where all of the people in our huge and varied culture can bring their range of skills and goals to best use: for us and for them.

What will I be doing?You will be championing the success of our people and leaders working for us in order to deliver high business performance. We need HR people who are mindful and responsive to contexts, audiences and individuals and are inspired to develop colleagues and the capabilities required for our winning business. Wherever you’re based in the business, you will gain experience of driving culture change, managing employee relations, developing talented individuals and leaders, improving the performance of teams and supporting their well-being. It’s all about shaping our organisation from within.
