Tell us about your current role at Kraft Heinz
The great thing about Kraft Heinz marketing is that the day-to-day is rarely the same! You do similar things, but you really are always learning. For me, my day-to-day can involve working on new product launch projects, where I get to be in touch with many functions across the business. Some days I meet with external media agencies or our internal creative agency to figure out how we'll be launching products and keeping our brands in the cup of consumers' minds! On other days I'll have administrative tasks such as processing invoices, managing budgets and pulling together presentations for retailers.
What surprised you when starting at Kraft Heinz as a graduate?
Surprised at how much autonomy and responsibility you get given. You are provided with a real chance to have an impact and contribution to the business, whilst being supported by the program and colleagues.
What opportunities did you get through your career at Kraft Heinz?
I have been very lucky to work overseas in New Zealand already with Kraft Heinz and also thanks to the graduate program, I have been able to work in multiple different functions. The company is very supportive of internal movement and it has been great for my learning to have spent time in the eCommerce, Foodservice and Marketing teams.
What is the most challenging thing about working for Kraft Heinz?
The most challenging thing is ensuring you are always working with those around you to keep learning! FMCG is a fast-paced world and things are always changing. As long as you have the right attitude, the challenge can be a good one!
