We are driven by our purpose: to make sustainable living commonplace, and it is our belief that doing business the right way drives superior performance. At the heart of what we do is our people – we believe that when our people work with purpose, we will create a better business and a better world. 

At Unilever, your career will be a unique journey, grounded in our inclusive, collaborative, and flexible working environment. We don’t believe in the ‘one size fits all’ approach and instead we will equip you with the tools you need to shape your own future.

JOB PURPOSE

Drive brand-aligned content strategy, ideation, and execution across retailer platforms to deliver best-in-class digital brand presence. This role ensures that every piece of eCommerce content — from product imagery to A+ pages — reflects the brand’s positioning, connects with consumers, and converts at the digital shelf.

WHAT WILL YOUR MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES BE

Brand & Content Strategy

  • Act as the brand guardian for all eCommerce content, ensuring alignment with brand positioning, tone, and visual identity.

  • Create clear and inspiring briefs for U-Studio and agency partners that outline strategic objectives, key messaging, and required assets.

  • Manage timelines, approvals, and feedback loops to ensure timely and high-quality content delivery across all platforms.

  • Review and optimize content performance post-launch, feeding learnings into future briefs.

Retail Media & Platform Excellence

  • Partner with Retail Media teams to ensure content and media are fully integrated and optimized for visibility and performance.

  • Conduct retailer audits to identify content gaps and opportunities, recommending actionable plans for improvement and brand investment.

  • Ensure all content follows platform best practices (7OA, A+, A+ Premium) and is optimized for search and conversion.

Key relationships

  • Collaborate closely with brand, shopper marketing, and media teams to ensure a consistent brand narrative across digital touchpoints.

  • Co-ordinate with global and regional teams to leverage tools (PIM / KWR / TAB / PCP) and maintain a seamless content workflow.

  • Train brand teams on Unilever’s content suite and online principles to drive adoption of best-in-class digital content standards.
