Caring for skin means caring for people.

It all started with a pharmacist and a dream almost 140 years ago. Today, Beiersdorf is a global company with iconic brands — Coppertone, Aquaphor, Eucerin, Elastoplast and NIVEA — focused on providing innovative, clinically-proven and safe skin and sun care solutions to more than 500 million consumers in over 200 countries — making people feel comfortable in their own skin.

At Beiersdorf, we care beyond skin. We care for people — our employees, our customers, our consumers and our communities — and our planet. We know that diversity of thought, backgrounds, experience, and perspective enriches our culture and fosters innovation and ingenuity. We know that responsibly sourced, sustainable products and packaging make for a more sustainable future. And we know that when your skin feels better, you feel better.


A welcoming workplace that offers personal and professional growth for all individuals.

At Beiersdorf, you’ll find:

A welcoming workplace that fosters diversity, inclusion and belonging where every team member feels valued, respected, and supported

Nimble teams that enjoy challenging work and the ability to make an impact

A dynamic community of life-long learners that values acumen, aptitude and the ability to learn as well as hard skills and established expertise

A purpose-led company that cares about your personal and professional development with the right balance of structure and flexibility to thrive

A collaborative culture that leads with care, trust, simplicity and courage


Unique benefits that consider the whole person.

We understand that you have a life outside of work, and we support you with unique benefits including:

  • Growing number of Employee Resource Groups or affinity groups - to foster meaningful connections and belonging with other colleagues
  • Dynamic work model – a hybrid of in-office collaboration and remote focused workdays

Experience, skills and competencies that lend themselves to this role:

We know that experience comes in all forms and we’re not necessarily looking for individuals who can hit the ground running (‘check all the boxes’) but may bring a unique blend of competence and capabilities that can grow into a role and/or bring news skills to the team.
