Background

Lipton is Unilever’s largest brand in turnover and global presence and is a key component in PepsiCo’s beverage portfolio. Lipton is a truly global brand and operates in two distinct areas; leaf tea and Ready to Drink Tea (RTDT). The RTDT team operates as a separate entity to Unilever and PepsiCo as part of a joint venture organization.

A role in Pepsi Lipton is unique experience that will allow you to rapidly develop and will add value to your career. It is a Joint Venture between Unilever and PepsiCo to manufacture and sell Lipton Ice Tea and operates across the globe. As a company, the joint venture has its own board of directors. Whilst in constant contact with its parent companies, it runs as a separate entity on a day to day basis.

As a global company the variation in countries, bottlers and manufacturing sites makes this a very exciting place to work – even more so as both parent companies transform their portfolios with exciting new brands such as TAZO, T2, Pukka and Yachak.

We have 5 regional organisations operating across North America, Europe, Latin America, Africa Middle East and Asia (AMEA) and Greater China and we are constantly breaking new ground with launches into white markets.

Working in the joint venture is one of the few opportunities to work in a small, entrepreneurial company within a larger framework of Unilever and PepsiCo. It is a unique opportunity to work across many areas of the marketing agenda and make a direct impact to the global business and make a significant impact.
