For our team in Schaffhausen, we are looking for a

There has never been a more exciting time to be working in Procurement when you consider the sheer scale of what we are seeking to do in doubling the size of the business whilst  reducing our environmental impact .

 

As Unilever Procurement adapts to the ever-dynamic business environment, we will need to be  agile  to continue our track record of delivery in contributing to the top and bottom line.

As well as ensuring that  we are best in class  in delivering the basics, we also must look to the future and continuously evolve to meet the needs of our changing environment - reinventing ourselves for sustained competitive advantage. And of course, we are only half of the picture. Our suppliers are at the heart of everything we do.
