We are the Global Wellbeing team focused on one of Unilever's largest growth opportunities - the €140bn Wellbeing space defined by Vitamins, Minerals, and Supplements (VMS). OUR BUSINESS: Unilever's Wellbeing Collective Group (WBC) holds the company's health and wellness brands and the portfolio of brands that includes Equilibra (Italy) and US acquired brands Olly, Liquid IV, Nutrafol, SmartyPants, Welly and Onnit. Each brand is completely unique and focused on giving consumers superior experiences within their respective spaces and target segments. We are committed to continuing to grow this strategic business for Unilever by leveraging the full strength of Unilever's capabilities and expanding the reach of our portfolio internationally. We work in an agile, fast-moving environment, collaboratively within the team and with our Unilever colleagues around the world. We work in a project-based, networked way where everyone needs to be able to take a step back and think strategically, as well as roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty, to be entrepreneurial and experiment, as well as bring in the best of Unilever and work the structures of a large company, and to take charge and lead, as well as follow and support others.
