How would you position a new product in a competitive market?

In Customer Marketing, you’ll lead and co-ordinate development of shopper insights through dedicated research, as well as, insight activation. You’ll also identify and develop business building opportunities with specific customers/channels through the teams and align initiatives across customers. After all, you’ll 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 need strong self motivation, have a passion to win and the ability to build strong relationships
