Care for skin - care for people

At Beiersdorf, we want to help people feel good about their skin - and our commitment goes far beyond caring for skin. For 140 years, we have developed innovative skin and body care products for well‑known brands such as NIVEA, Eucerin, La Prairie, Hansaplast, and Labello. We act according to our purpose, WE CARE BEYOND SKIN, and take responsibility for our consumers, our employees, the environment and society. Behind every brand, every product and every accomplishment are our more than 20,000 employees. It is for them that we live an inclusive culture of respect and trust that is strongly aligned with our values - CARE, COURAGE, SIMPLICITY and TRUST. We also embrace diversity by valuing the uniqueness of each individual and being committed to equal opportunities for all.

Your Tasks

At Beiersdorf, we are continuously accelerating our business and cultural transformation to deliver the best possible products to our consumers.

As a Research & Development trainee you will dive into different topics of your desire. From early‑stage research discovery to product development to consumer insights and testing, everything can be part of YOUR journey. Thereby, you will be part of different Research & Development teams and focus on own projects and/or dive deep into the daily business. As our trainee program is designed to equip you with the skills and mindset needed to navigate the future R&D challenges, you will be part of global and regional teams in order to gather a holistic view of our scientific world. From day one, you are taking ownership to co‑create and shape the future of our company.

Let your journey begin with us and experience:

• RESPONSIBILITY: Take over your own projects from day one and benefit from a comprehensive mentoring program which helps you to develop and grow.
• INTERNATIONALITY: Join a network of trainees from all over the world and gain working experience abroad by spending 6 months in one of our 5 research hubs worldwide.
• DEVELOPMENT: Benefit from self‑managed projects, training sessions and a network of trainee alumni across hierarchies, functions and countries.
• FUTURE PROSPECTS: Start with an unlimited contract from the beginning and prepare for taking responsibility from day one.

Your Profile

• You graduate in science (Life Science related studies as Molecular biology, Bioinformatics, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biology, Data Science or comparable) and are passionate about creating innovative products.
• You were able to gain first practical and international experience.
• You have excellent analytical skills and can develop creative solutions.
• Your strengths include flexibility, open‑mindedness, excellent communication, and teamwork skills as well as initiative.
