Description

Are you an intellectually curious individual who is passionate about uncovering human needs and desires?

If so, then a role in the Consumer and Market Knowledge (CMK) organization is for you!

In CMK, we directly influence business strategy, product design, pricing, media investments and much more. We use our boundless curiosity to discover what consumers want, why they want it & how we can we influence them through immersive exploration, in-depth analysis and good research.

We answer questions like: What should our brands stand for? Who are our target shoppers and how do we best reach them? How can we invent exciting in-store & on-line shopper experiences?

Your role as an Associate Manager in Consumer & Market Knowledge:
