Financial management

We consider our finance team partners in value creation, helping us to seize opportunities, set aggressive targets and deliver on them.

Improving performance

As part of one of Unilever, a finance role can offer you a single view of the business – from its processes and operations to the innovative ways we can improve performance. Moving on from there, the possibilities are extremely diverse, from financial control and internal audit roles to treasury.

Finance managers need a broad overview of our business processes. We'll ask you to deal with challenges that cross brands, professions and geographical regions. You'll understand the strategies that drive our growth and profitability and will be at the forefront of how we change and develop to meet our goals.  

For financial management you need:

  • Sound business awareness and the tenacity to ensure we get value for money, hit financial targets and increase profitability. 
  • A talent for looking at fine details and the big picture.
  • A proactive approach to improving business and the communication skills to win support for your ideas. 
  • To have or be committed to gaining a professional accounting qualification. Graduates joining our finance teams receive full support in studying for a professional qualification, alongside their initial development programme.
