Job descriptions & requirements
PZ Cussons Nigeria Plc, the largest subsidiary of PZ Cussons, has enjoyed tremendous business success in Nigeria for over a century. No other consumer goods company possesses our heritage in Nigeria or understands our customers better than we do. Our approach to Nigeria, our customers and to our business is designed to sustain us far into the future.
Our prime business objective in Nigeria is sustainable and profitable growth and our drive to be world-class in every aspect of our business life will be relentless.
To achieve this, we have adopted a Strategic Business Unit (SBU) structure, in which each SBU has clear focus on its markets; developing a deep understanding of the needs and aspirations of its consumers and the dynamics of the marketplace, which it can exploit to deliver its objectives.
Our business policies, systems and actions (procedures and processes, corporate and personal ethics, corporate image, employee development, equality of opportunity, remuneration, services provided to distributors etc) are harmonized between all our SBUs, ensuring the sharing of best practice and operational synergies.
By combining our financial strength and the commercial acumen encouraged at all levels amongst our people, we are positioning ourselves to seize profitable new opportunities within our chosen sectors.
As a result of expansion and growth, we require an experienced and performance driven professional to join our team
