Overview of the Role

Overall, how would you describe your experience at Unilever?
Unilever present such a unique opportunity on this graduate scheme in Supply Chain, offering five valuable rotations in their business. You not only gather skills specific to Supply Chain management but you learn to adapt fast, interact with all manners of colleagues and all through a leadership lens.
What are the main responsibilities of the role and which elements of the role do you enjoy the most?
The main responsibilities vary from role to role. In planning, you are responsible for managing service levels to the market's customers, in a more customer-facing role, your responsibilities lie on the other side of this, whereas factory roles differ completely and your responsibilities lie in ensuring good line performance.
To what extent does your role give you the opportunity to contribute meaningfully and feel valued by your team?
5/5
Your contribution is what you make of it. Some roles are more explicit in what you can provide, such as factory roles where your goals are hard, physical number targets. Other rotation, you can contribute through the art of influencing others, and thus the business.
How does your compensation package - including perks & benefits - fairly remunerate you for the work you do?
5/5
Pay is competitive and Unilever offers one of the best pension schemes in the UK.
How well do you feel the role is preparing you for your future career?
5/5
5 valuable rotations on the scheme. 3 of which are compulsory areas of Supply Chain, however, the remaining 2 are up to you and you can explore other areas of Supply Chain and tailor these to your long-term career goals.
How would you rate the extent to which you were developing new or existing skills through formal training and your day-to-day role?
3/5
Not as much formal training on the role as training through living breathing each rotation.
