BEYOND BORDERS – Supply Chain Management

Do you want to be involved from concept to consumer?

Taking a product from development to delivery takes long-term thinking and short-term flexibility. You have to be alert to volatile markets, consumer trends and competitive activity so that you are prepared to change course and make new plans when the need arises. As a member of the Supply Chain team, you will need to see change and challenge as opportunities and support the team in preserving an agile supply chain that benefits the business, the consumer and our suppliers. You design your own trainee program and choose departments according to your interests – also your step abroad in one of our 160 affiliates. Apart from that, you are part of an international trainee network working together on cross-functional projects and being supported by development measures such as trainings and mentoring. This way, you are prepared for an international management career at Beiersdorf!
