Consumer & Market Knowledge Associate Manager  

Throughout our history of over 175 years, our business has grown and changed while these elements have endured, and will continue to be passed down to generations of P&G people to come. WE SHARE P&G’S PURPOSE AND VALUES. Our Purpose, Values and Principles are the foundation on which we develop leaders at P&G. Our shared Purpose—improving the lives of the world’s consumers—in addition to our Values—trust, integrity, ownership, leadership and passion for winning—unify us as we collaborate as a team internally and compete to win externally. WE HIRE THE BEST. Nearly a half-million people apply for P&G jobs every year. We hire less than 1%. We attract top talent because of P&G’s reputation as a great company for leaders, and we identify the best applicants by using a proven recruiting process that measures intelligence, assesses character and leadership, and predicts success at P&G. WE CHALLENGE P&G PEOPLE FROM DAY ONE. We believe there’s no substitute for hands-on experience when it comes to leadership development. That’s why we create early, meaningful responsibilities for every employee. Typical assignments demand collaboration inside and outside the Company, disciplined project management and the need to be in touch with consumers, retail customers and other external stakeholders. BUSINESS AND FUNCTIONAL LEADERS ACTIVELY RECRUIT, TEACH AND COACH. Line business leaders are accountable and involved at every step of the process. This starts at the top. Our Chief Executive Officer, Vice Chairs, Presidents and Functional Officers recruit on college campuses and teach in our executive education programs. These senior executives also act as mentors and coaches for younger managers, helping them develop the skills necessary to lead large businesses and organizations. WE PLAN CAREERS. We create opportunities for careers at P&G, not just jobs. One way we do this is by managing P&G talent globally—starting at mid-levels of management and higher—to enable career development and growth across businesses and geographies. We identify talent early and groom people through a series of varied and enriching assignments that will prepare them for future roles. The CEO and Vice Chairs meet monthly to plan senior management assignments. Business presidents meet as a talent-development team once per quarter. And the Board of Directors reviews P&G’s talent pipeline once a year. WE NEVER STOP LEARNING. In addition to on-the-job experience, we provide a wealth of technical, functional and leadership skills training. Some programs are offered at career milestones, such as when an employee first takes on responsibility for managing others or leading an organization. Other programs take managers out of the classroom and into retail stores or even into consumers’ homes. This process not only helps P&G people develop business skills but also deepens their commitment to touching and improving consumers’ lives—P&G’s enduring Purpose.
