Who You Are & What You’ll Do
You’re a seasoned account manager, able to represent one Fortune 500 company to another. You know how to ask smart questions and build partnerships with your buyers to grow the business. You are also a thought leader for eCommerce, delivering feedback and insights back to brand teams and training everyone to better understand and plan for the future — eCommerce. You’re a skilled general manager, capable of working across multiple eCommerce platforms and Unilever categories. You are motivated to develop a strategy to deliver upon Unilever’s P&L objectives and seek the accountability of delivering KPIs through short and long-term growth planning.

You’re a dot connector: Figuring out complex business challenges with limited direction doesn’t faze you. You thrive in ambiguous situations. You identify key stakeholders and work cross-functionally to deliver results.
You love to win, and have fun doing it: Your eye is always on the prize, and you have a history of blowing away targets. You know it’s an adventure you need to celebrate along the way.
You’re customer-obsessed: You know at the end of the day, a customer has to want what you’re selling, so you keep the end customer top of mind when it comes to product, pack, price, communication, and support.
