What will I be doing?

In Marketing you'll be constantly deepening the already expert knowledge of our brands and the people who use them. You'll use this level of insight to help develop our products' personalities and strategies on an international level and how to translate these strategies into local market contexts.

In Customer Development you'll build partnerships with a wide range of our customers, which can include: supermarkets, superstores, convenience stores, drug stores, discounters, online retailers, ice cream parlours and even theme parks. This will help us reach our target markets, which could mean working together to maximise a new product launch, recommending the right range of products, negotiating an annual business plan, or looking for new business opportunities.

Our people have the opportunity to make a big impact every day on a local level, across Europe and the globe.
