Overview

Role Title: Global Senior Brand Manager Clear Core & Premium - Secondment

Duration: 6 Months - 17th November 2025 - 31st May 2026

Location: Singapore (Unilever Campus)

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 strong points of difference: a bold, provocative, and differentiated brand personality, a strong dual gender proposition, and the use of iconic celebrities who embody the spirit of the brand.

We are transforming the brand and portfolio beyond Anti-Dandruff to include the growing platform of Scalp and adjacent needs, primarily for Men. This pillar is a strategic priority, and this role will spearhead its growth. We are seeking a bold, insight-driven innovator with a global mindset who can connect data with instinct, challenge the status quo, influence across cultures, and drive ideas from spark to shelf with precision, pace, and impact.

We now have an exciting opportunity for temporary assignment (secondment or fixed-term contract).

Main Accountabilities

• The successful candidate will be a key part of the CLEAR BG Innovation team, report to the Global Brand Director responsible for Innovation, and work closely with the Global Brand Vice President, local markets, cross-functional teams and external agencies.
• Responsible for developing and managing innovations for Core and Premium platforms.

Key Responsibilities

• Shape the future innovation roadmap and portfolio transformation strategy for CLEAR's Core and Premium platforms. Analyze market and consumer data to develop robust recommendations for long-term growth.
• Lead the development of future Core and Premium innovations, translating category and consumer insights into new product ideas and mixes. Craft concepts, product & pack design, define strategic price positioning and channel strategy, determine the size of the prize, and lead cross-functional teams and external agencies to deliver innovation in key markets.
• Partner with the CLEAR BG Engagement team to ensure innovations are translated into engaging communications.
• Lead market docking for one of CLEAR's top markets, Vietnam.

Relevant Experience

• Proven record of Global Brand Marketing experience at Brand Manager or Senior Brand Manager level.
• Experience in leading large global innovations or managing global brand relaunches is required. Prior experience in Beauty & Wellbeing, specifically Hair Care, is preferred.

Desired Hard Skills

• Exceptional crafting skills and an eye for beauty, product ideas, and product design within premium beauty & hair.
• Ability to manage complex projects under tight timelines and lead large cross-functional teams.
• Business savviness to understand how innovation drives sustainable growth for CLEAR and identify concrete opportunities.
• Strong communication and influencing skills to manage stakeholders at all levels.
• Leadership skills to manage, inspire, galvanize and coach team members.

Desired Soft Skills and Behaviours

• Staying three steps ahead — anticipate trends and needs; think big and be willing to disrupt the market.
• Delivering with excellence — take pride in high-quality work and avoid mediocrity.
• Focus on impact — prioritize efforts and challenge the status quo to allocate resources effectively.
• Curiosity and passion — seek ways to delight consumers and grow with a growth mindset.
