Introduction:
Unilever Bangladesh still believes that success means acting with ‘the highest standards of corporate behavior towards its employees, consumers and the societies and world in which we live’. Over the years it has launched or participated in an ever-growing range of initiatives to source sustainable supplies of raw materials, protect environments, support local communities and much more.
Increasing competition and the advent of modern trade has compelled customer management to shift from “Traditional Sales” to “Trade Marketing”. With more trade sophistication, the role of Customer Development is evolving into Relationship Marketing where Channel Development, Merchandising, and Distributor Development play a crucial part in keeping the company ahead of competition and in outpacing market change.
For customer development one needs:
- Great passion to achieve targets.
- Very strong people management skills, good analytical ability.
- Strong customer orientation and the ability to develop action plans that can meet both the needs of our customers and the business.
- Real enthusiasm and the pace for competitiveness at retail.
- Practical creativity that focuses on results.
- Real drive to lead a team.
- Willingness to work anywhere in Bangladesh.
For Brands and Development functions, one needs to have:
- A real interest in consumers as well as intuitive understanding of their behaviour, and what works (and doesn’t!) in specific markets.
- Very strong interpersonal skills and the ability to lead cross functional team.
- Strong analytical ability.
- For those interested in Development, technical skills in areas of work (packaging development and process development).
- Creativity inspired by a passion for growth.
