What Will You Be Doing?

Creative flair and consumer love will see you go far, but marketing is commercially focused and demands strong business skills to make things happen. It takes a deep sense of logic, ambition, organisational skills and an understanding of how the business operates; you might say you are the product owner of your brand in your country, working with many multi-disciplinary teams to keep your brand relevant. Great marketers have the passion and see that marketing is all about creating the best products for our consumers, which improve the lives of our consumers.

Over multiple stints you will gain broad experience in several areas of marketing expertise for example:

1. Brand Building & Management – Participate in the development of our brand and marketing strategies for iconic brands like Dove, Breeze, Vaseline among many others. Learn to make data-driven recommendations across 6Ps and be involved in driving localized portfolio mixes to win in the market.
