Internship - Category Manager & Commercial Assistant (H/F)

Who we are... we are Elida Beauty

Elida Beauty is a very exciting new beauty business within Unilever. We are re-founding iconic brands (Tigi, Timotei, Monsavon, Brut, Williams...) by remixing them for today's generation, making them even bigger beauty hits than they were the first time around.

Our remixes democratize beauty, because we want everyone on the 'beauty dance floor' with top-quality products at great value.

Driven by our colleague's creativity, agility and close connection with consumers, customers and suppliers, we are able to unleash the true potential of our already loved brands with a fresh start. We 'Re-Found' them using a star

t-up mentality that always 'finds a way'. Our 'no silos', one team approach drives both personal and business growth so that together we deliver outcomes that are music to the ears of consumers, customers, colleagues, and the planet alike.
