Your work will guide the development of the latest technologies, deliver breakthrough cosmetic and health benefits, and bring innovations to life for our consumers.

What You’ll Do

With guidance from a manager and team of functional experts, summer interns will manage one major summer project on their own in a digital R&D role.

In any project, interns will learn to apply data science and other digital approaches to the unique challenges of consumer product development spanning consumer preference, product development, and manufacturing. The work will involve both the application of digital approaches and storytelling to convey their value to the overall Unilever business. The work will have an appreciable on-site component that may extend into working in laboratory and pilot-plant facilities. Interns can expect to learn the specific programs or tools available needed to execute their research program. Interns will be given access to numerous data streams and develop ways of working to generate insights from the data. Interns will plan approaches, analyze their data using statistical and graphical tools, and generate predictive models. Interns will generate input and incorporate feedback from a cultivated network of technical experts within Unilever to enhance the delivery on their project.
