P&G Brand Management is one of the four Disciplines within the P&G Brand function, along with P&G Consumer & Market Knowledge (CMK), P&G Communications, and P&G Design. Together, our role is to build consumer-preferred brands that create value for consumers, customers, and shareholders. We achieve this through superior products, packaging, brand communication, retail execution, and consumer and customer value equation.
Often referred to as marketing in other companies, we think of brand management in broader terms. Here, you will actually create the brands themselves and oversee every aspect of their success, not just their marketing plans. Brand management at P&G means being a total business owner and having an entrepreneurial mindset that can transform a brand’s reputation with a man on a horse, build meaningful partnerships to protect the planet, and create the world’s first interactive ad for the Super Bowl. On top of all of this, you’ll be working for a company that was awarded Marketer of the Decade.
P&G is a forward-thinking powerhouse behind the largest, most influential brands around the globe. When you join the P&G Brand Management team, you’ll start out on your journey to becoming a master brand builder who can turn a seemingly simple bottle of shampoo into a household name with a loyal following of consumers all over the world. All from Day 1.

Our model provides learning and development opportunities for all employees to grow and leverage their talents and interests to deliver exceptional business results and achieve personal success.
All P&G Brand employees initially develop technical skills, as well as some brand essential skills. Once you have these, the career journey you experience will be unique to you, based on your interests and the business needs. For example, you could decide to develop deep discipline mastery, focusing on becoming an expert on a few skills. You may instead prefer to focus your career on a series of entrepreneurial experiences, or choose roles that are more multidisciplinary and that span across different disciplines or even functions. Of course, your career may also lead you to building more breadth in a multitude of skills.
Ultimately, the Brand Career Model is about growth and impact—and growing your skills to be always key to delivering great business results. P&G Brand careers have no predefined paths, and each one is unique. With the support of your manager and through your own ambition, you’re sure to build a career that is personal, purposeful, and fulfilling.

FAQ
P&G Brand Management is responsible for creating the brands themselves and overseeing every aspect of their success, while marketing focuses solely on individual campaigns and brand engagement of that brand.
The speed at which you move along your career path depends on many factors, including your role, level, experience, performance, and market and business needs. What we can promise you is a robust career plan and a commitment to your learning and development supported by your manager.
While it differs by market, experience, and role, P&G invests in hiring and retaining top talent, and thus offers highly competitive compensation and benefit packages.
What brand you work on will be determined by market and business needs. Your interests will be taken into consideration, but as you’ll be working on live projects that have a direct impact on the business, you won’t always be assigned to the brand of your choosing.
