Unilever Future Leaders Programme R&D
The Unilever Future Leaders Programme (UFLP) is about having a big impact, right from the start. It’s about growing iconic market-leading brands from day one, in a culture where growth means positive change, impact and influence as well as market share. It’s about learning and developing fast. You will be given hands-on responsibility from day one, receive continuous business mentoring from senior leaders, enjoy excellent skills, leadership and personal development training. You will be part of a varied, fast-changing, positive environment and a work in talented and passionate teams. Firsthand experience- it’s the fastest way to learn.
Learning by experience
As a future leader of our business you will start with an exciting placement of two months in the Sales Force where you will get introduced to the core of our business, the store floor. You will share this experience together with Future Leaders (trainees) from all other disciplines. During this period you learn more about our business, meet other Unilever future leaders, our clients and get familiar with our products.
Thereafter you will take on three R&D placements within three years, and may get the opportunity to work internationally. You will work in cross functional and global teams. You will get hands-on experience with real projects in which you can make a genuine business impact. Projects such as designing new product innovations and rolling these out across the globe, looking at longer-term science and technology projects in one of our Global R&D Centres and developing products from concept idea to full-scale production.
