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. The largest markets are China, Vietnam, Indonesia, Brazil and Thailand.

Our growth has been driven by leveraging strong points of difference; a brand with a bold, provocative, and differentiated personality, a strong dual gender proposition, use of iconic celebrities who embody the spirit of the brand - such as Cristiano Ronaldo who has helped Clear Men become the World’s #1 Shampoo for Men, and consistently delivering great products and unique propositions. 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. This pillar has been recognized as a big bet by the Beauty & Wellbeing leadership team and this role will be part of the team that has been chosen to spearhead its growth. We are looking for a bold, insight-driven innovator with a global mindset - able to connect data with instinct, challenge the status quo, influence across cultures, and drive ideas from spark to shelf with precision, pace, and impact.
