Unilever Korea – UNEXT Programme (Customer Development)
The Unilever UNEXT Programme is designed to prepare Unilever’s Future Leaders by giving them challenging jobs that accelerate their careers, ultimately preparing them for business leadership roles. The Programme encompasses rotations within and across functions in an accelerated learning environment. This includes international stints, extended leadership contact, formal training, and professional development.
How exactly do you make some of the world’s most popular brands even more popular? How do you take products that in some cases have a 100-year heritage behind them and bring them up to date? How would you position a new product in a competitive market? How would you persuade retailers to take it on, to put up new displays, to take the risk of buying lots of stock for something new and unfamiliar?
Within Customer Development, you will take on these challenges and bring our beloved brands to life for our customers, shoppers, and consumers. You will be on the front lines, working as an ambassador for our products, making sure people forget the competition and think of Unilever first. You will be responsible for managing relationships and strategically partnering with our key retailers and business partners. It requires the passion to drive our business and to deliver customer value at the same time.
Across your rotations, you may be exposed to several different areas to develop your commercial expertise, for example:
- Customer Management (Sales) – building relationships, analysing relevant data, owning financial forecasting, agreeing on a tailored business plan, or negotiating promotions
- Category Management – Supporting the overseeing of a category of products, becoming an expert on the marketplace and our competitors, and advising customers on suitable ranges for their shoppers
- Shopper Marketing – Working closely with both the Customer Management teams, and Marketing team, developing retailer-specific media plans, to activate key brands.
- Business Operations – Working closely with Marketing, Finance and Supply Chain functions, as well as the Customer Development teams to manage the link between brand ammunition and customer execution within a specific product category.
