Supply Chain Trainee Beiersdorf

CARE CHANGES EVERYTHING.

BEYOND BORDERS – Supply Chain Management

Foresight and advanced planning are your strengths? At the same time you are able to adapt to new situations flexibly and find new solutions ad hoc?

As a trainee in Supply Chain Management, these are precisely the strengths you’ll need – because your job is to keep a constant eye on the dynamic consumer goods industry, from consumer trends to the competitors’ activities. With your help, we will develop a flexible supply chain that benefits everyone: our business, our consumers, and our retail partners.

You will get to know Beiersdorf through different positions according to your individual interests. This also applies to your six months assignment abroad, where you can choose one of our more than 170 subsidiaries. As part of an international trainee network, you will also benefit from cross-functional projects and training and mentoring activities. That’s how we prepare you for an international management career at Beiersdorf!

My BEYOND BORDERS trainee journey started in October 2024 and since then, every step of the way has been enriching. I am gaining insights into the entire supply chain, getting out of my comfort zone, expanding my skills and meeting inspiring people. The most valuable aspect for me is the support I get from my mentors, colleagues, and fellow trainees to navigate my individual journey. The trainee program truly allows you to grow BEYOND.
