Will you be our Future Leader?
The Unilever Future Leaders Programme, or as we say “UFLP”, gives you the opportunity to develop yourself from a (recent) graduate into an experienced future-fit professional. Bring your enthusiasm, curiosity and innovative ideas to the table and start your learning journey at Unilever!
The tracks
We accept great talents with all sorts of backgrounds, since we believe in a resume-free selection process for the UFLP. For Supply Chain & Procurement, you will need a strong background in Electrical, Mechanical, Chemical, Manufacturing or similar engineering. We also accept Mathematics, Business, Technology, or Design-related disciplines.
Online Application Period (Step 1-Step 3)
Our online application period runs from March 1st to March 21st end of day (we work on a first comes, first served base. In case of many good candidates, we may decide to close earlier. In that case, we will communicate this).
You need to have finished stage 3 (Digital Interview) by the end of the online application period to be eligible for the UFLP. It will take a few days to finish all online stages, so finish all stages as soon as possible.
