Our Future Leaders Programme will ignite the leader in you. This unique programme is designed to develop Unilever’s Future Leaders (UFLs) by providing collaborative and purposeful opportunities that accelerate their readiness to take on managerial roles.

The Unilever Future Leaders Program (UFLP) is a global initiative that builds a strong talent pipeline to support business growth. In the UK, our UFLP is a 36‑month rotational development program for top‑performing undergraduate talent who demonstrate the potential to become managers within our business.

You’ll be hired into a finance function and further develop leadership skills by working on live projects that offer you all the experience you need to become ready for your first management role.

From day one, you’ll be embedded in a finance team and trusted with meaningful work. You’ll learn to:

• partner the business to make better decisions
• build high‑quality plans and forecasts
• evaluate investments and performance
• improve processes and controls
• use digital tools (including AI) to unlock insight and efficiency

You’ll build deep professional skill, broad business exposure, and a strong network—while working with iconic brands and talented colleagues.

The three‑year programme is packed with a variety of experiences. You’ll develop your interpersonal and management skills by working on live projects that offer you all the experience you need.

• storytelling with data and executive‑ready communication
• governance, controls and risk
• digital finance, automation and AI‑enabled ways of working

Finance plays an integral part in setting strategic direction, bringing impactful insights to inform business strategy, and ensuring our resources and investments drive profitable growth.

Your influence will directly impact the future of our brands, the way we work with our customers, and how we run our supply chain—all with global sustainability implications. Depending on your role, you may:
