Career progression
Globally, many of our senior business leaders began their careers in Finance.
Greater Variety
Unilever is constantly changing to respond to a highly competitive environment. Similarly Finance is a dynamic function that constantly develops to rise to the business challenges. This brings opportunities to follow a greater variety of career paths.
Professional Capabilities
Our aim is to help people build their professional capabilities, both to succeed within Unilever as well as to remain market competitive. We do this through providing numerous opportunities to ‘learn on the job’, and prospects to acquire professional qualifications for those with higher management potential.
Depth & Breadth
We offer a range of experiences through secondments and projects across locations, functions and units. Secondments allow you to be exposed to the Unilever business and gain international exposure. Projects provide opportunities for developing specific skills such as negotiating and team working.
Cross functional exposure through business partnering will give you insight into other functions such as brands and your input will support their strategic decisions towards a competitive business.
Qualities and Skills
A degree in finance and accounting along with professional qualifications in accounting and finance such as ICASL, CIMA and ACCA will qualify you to work with us. You also need influencing skills to win support for your ideas and a talent for looking at the finer details as well as the bigger picture. You should also have sound business awareness and the tenacity to ensure we get value for money, meet our financial targets and increase profitability.
