Job description

Role Title: Global Senior Brand Manager Clear Core & Premium - Secondment

Duration: 6 Months - 17th November 2025 - 31st May 2026

CLEAR is Unilever’s 3rd largest Hair brand and has experienced significant growth over the past 15 years through global expansion and a disruptive approach to the Anti-Dandruff shampoo market.

We believe in never conforming to norms, never saying no to challenges, and always empowering our consumers with dandruff-free confidence.

CLEAR is now on an exciting journey to transform its brand and portfolio beyond Anti-Dandruff – encompassing the growing platform of Scalp and its adjacent needs, primarily Men.
