BACKGROUND & PURPOSE OF THE JOB

Dove Men+Care launched in 2010 with a vision to champion authentic masculinity. It sought to break down unrealistic and inaccurate portrayals of manhood, showing men how they are, and empowering them to live and care freely. Since then, Dove Men+Care has served millions of men around the world. The brand believes that caring for others begins with caring for yourself – and that means not just for your body and mind, but also for your skin.
For Unilever North America, Dove Men+Care is one of Personal Care’s four Power Brands, uniquely positioned to drive premium growth across the portfolio. Having delivered strong performance in recent years, DM+C is now on an ambitious trajectory toward becoming a $1 billion brand in North America. We are seeking a seasoned Marketing Director to lead this critically important brand through its next phase of growth and impact.
