Analytical mind-set? Business brain? Aspirations to become a FTSE 100 CFO? A career in Financial Management could be right for you. At Unilever, Financial Management is about so much more than numbers. It’s the lifeblood of our business – touching every area, informing multi-million euro decisions, and directly influencing the development, growth and health of our brands. Unilever is one of the largest fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) companies in the world. We make some of the world’s most loved brands: Dove, Lynx, PG Tips, Ben & Jerrys, Marmite, Magnum, Persil and Hellmann’s, to name a few. You will have the opportunity to work on some of these great brands across some fantastic categories.

What will I be doing?

You will work across local, regional and global teams. Right across the business we are an integral part of the teams that make strategy and investment decisions, bringing digital insights and business analytics to the table to help make better-informed choices. Your influence will directly determine the future of our brands, the way we work with our customers and how we run our supply chain – all having global sustainability implications.

What do we look for?

It might come as a surprise, but we don’t have a specific discipline requirement, so you don’t have to have a background in finance or economics. We’re looking for strong analytical skills, ambition, a talent for influencing people and a real desire to understand how a business operates and succeeds. Enthusiasm and commitment go a long way. We’re looking for our future Financial Management leaders.

What will the programme involve?

The three-year, world-class development programme is packed with variety and challenge. You’ll develop your individual leadership skills by working on live projects that offer you all the experience you need to become ready for your first management role. Over three years, you’ll take on three stretching placements across our businesses, and you may also have the opportunity to work internationally.

You’ll gain experience both in financial and management accounting and you’ll be business facing, communicating with key business contacts. First-hand experience – it’s the fastest way to learn.

Your rotations could be based at different business units across Europe and you will need to be flexible about where you are based during your time on the scheme.

Your role will be underpinned by studying for your Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) qualification.

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 own interests, strengths and ambitions.

Location

Placements may be in different business units across the UK & Ireland, so you need to be flexible about where you are based during the programme.

Closing date:

We will close for applications as soon as we receive enough applications for the business area and without prior warning. We therefore advise you to apply as early as possible to avoid disappointment.

On any given day, two billion people use Unilever products to look good, feel good and get more out of life.

With more than 400 brands focused on health and wellbeing, no company touches so many people’s lives in so many different ways.

Our portfolio ranges from nutritionally balanced foods to indulgent ice creams, affordable soaps, luxurious shampoos and everyday household care products. We produce world-leading brands including PG tips, Knorr, Dove, Magnum, Lynx, Hellmann’s and Persil to name a few.

For us, sustainability is integral to how we do business. With 7 billion people on our planet, the earth’s resources can be strained. This means sustainable growth is the only acceptable model of growth for our business. The Unilever Sustainable Living Plan sets out to decouple our growth from our environmental impact, while at the same time increasing our positive social impact. Our Plan has three big goals that by 2020 will enable us to:

- Help more than a billion people to improve their health and well-being.
- Halve the environmental footprint of our products.
- Source 100% of our agricultural raw materials sustainably and enhance the livelihoods of people across our value chain.

We believe that as a business we have a responsibility to our consumers and to the communities in which we have a presence. Around the world we invest in local economies and develop people’s skills inside and outside of Unilever. And through our business and brands, we run a range of programmes to promote hygiene, nutrition, empowerment and environmental awareness.
