Innovative, effective and sustainable products

Our Research and Development (R&D) teams are among the world's best.

In an R&D role with the Unilever Future Leader’s Program you’ll join teams using in-depth understanding of consumers and expertise in science and technology to create innovative, effective and sustainable products.

I don't think there is a feeling that beats walking through a supermarket and you see a product and you think "yeah, I worked on that". and you can see it anywhere in the world as well, that's the exciting thing.
