BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF THE JOB
Information technology, analytics, and digital programs are the cornerstone of business success. As an IT Unilever Future Leader (UFL) you will lead Unilever in enabling innovation, delivering change, and ensuring technology stability for our company’s success. An IT professional at Unilever learns and masters the changing technology landscape to improve operations and keep Unilever at the forefront of change. This rotational opportunity will give you exposure to new technology and allow you to directly influence the path that Unilever takes.
You will not be alone in this effort. Unilever employs industry leading professionals in every area of our business. You will learn and become a synergizing force for knowledge and change in this role.
KEY MANAGEMENT TECHNOLOGY TRACK ROTATIONS:
IT INNOVATION
The pace of change in technology is rapid. Partnering with external 3rd parties and internal tech teams, you will lead this change by landing key innovations. Sitting together with local teams and partnering with key business functions, an IT UFL insures that the innovations are designed for Unilever’s needs and are effective on day 1. Partnership in North America means knowing the tech opportunities, programs, and global knowledge, to guide business functions through the IT world. You will learn and provide strategic partnership with these business functions to ensure that technology is an advantage, and not a risk.
INFORMATION AND ANALYTICS
“Data is the new Oil”. Data is the key enabler for today’s fastest growing industries. Technology to support the collection, analysis, and presentation of data will shape the way Unilever grows and succeeds in todays economy. As an IT UFL you will enable and support the core technologies that deal with data at a massive scale. Learning and leading in these skills, I&A enabled team members will initiate transformative projects to bring clear and valuable data to our business.
IT SUPPORT SERVICES
Day to day operations ensure that the new technology and innovations can be used by all our employees. The IT support landscape must be understood and enabled for success. An IT UFL can identify risk, and plan process changes to ensure that technology works for Unilever and does not slow down productivity.
CHANGE MANAGEMENT
As technology and processes change, the people that use this technology must meet that change head on. Unilever IT professions must support the communities they enable. Strong partnership in change management is key, as ways of working evolve for greater speed and agility.
WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU’LL DO
The Unilever Future Leaders Program (UFLP) is a global initiative enabling Unilever to build a strong talent pipeline that will support and lead our business growth. UFLP is a 36-month rotational leadership development program for which we recruit top-performing undergraduate talent who demonstrate the potential to become managers within 3 years. You’ll be hired into a function and develop your leadership skills by working on live projects which offer you all the experience you need to become ready for your first management role.
Each of our UFLs will gain an understanding of how we make and sell our products, become immersed in our sustainability initiatives, understand and experience first-hand our global markets, and build people management skills and financial acumen. Along the way you will develop deep core professional skills and leadership through a robust support network of business professionals.
We look for people who want to know and experience the inner workings of a vast business. It’s about commitment, real people skills, and a passion for the fun and meaningful work at Unilever. Come live your purpose and grow with us.

UFLs will gain a valuable perspective of the industry at the store level.
