Unilever Future Leaders Programme (UFLP) Food Solutions Customer Development - Malaysia

The Unilever Future Leaders Programme is about developing tomorrow’s leaders, today.

UFLP is designed to prepare Unilever’s Future Leaders by giving them challenging jobs that prepare 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 customers to take it on, to put up new displays, to take the risk of buying lots of stock for something new and unfamiliar?

What will you be doing?

Within Customer Development (Sales), 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 in 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. We’ll make sure you gain broad experience in several different areas to develop your commercial expertise.

You’ll build partnerships with our wide range of customers – hotels, restaurants, cafes. That could mean working together to maximise a new product launch, recommending the right range of products, developing marketing programmes, negotiating an annual business plan, or looking for new business opportunities. With our team of highly skilled chefs and nutritionists, we help our customers to find the right balance of great-tasting and nutritious food served up to the same consistently high standards. Through our widespread presence, we can make cuisine ideas travel.
