With 344 factories in over 70 countries, we have a strong manufacturing capability across all our businesses. In Technical & Production at Nestlé you could work in Production, Engineering, Safety, Health & Environment, Operations Excellence, Regulatory and Quality.
We're a collaborative and diverse team with a strong focus on safety, quality, sustainability and manufacturing excellence.

You'll be curious to embrace new technologies and to continuously learn and contribute across business, geographies, and functions. And you will be a team player who embraces core values of safety, quality, diversity and inclusion.
Working across many functions and networking, enabled me to understand the process of the food industry, from the farm to the fork. I have visited suppliers and worked with the Innovation team to see how they supply what the consumer wants the most.
Supply chain & Procurement
Supply Chain
Support sustainable growth
Our supply chain professionals play a decisive role in ensuring fresh products are available every time our consumers shop in-store and online.
Supply chain teams at Nestlé work with customers and commercial teams to align and develop demand forecasts. They ensure materials are sourced on time and responsibly: Nestlé is committed to sourcing policies that respect the environment and human rights, and we expect suppliers to respect our standards. Our supply chain teams partner with manufacturing to plan and balance production and inventory levels so our network has the right supply of products. And they are responsible for safe, sustainable and timely storage and delivery of our products to customers and consumers.
We offer rewarding supply chain careers at Nestlé, in customer supply chain, demand and supply planning, procurement and logistics. Whichever you choose, you'll be making a positive difference to the lives of consumers and customers around the world. Our scale means you're able to change roles and locations, even globally.
We look for
People who can design, plan and execute efficient inbound and outbound product flows and storage of goods, on-time and at the right cost from the origin to the consumption, to supply our factories and meet different customer requirements.
You will be able to work cross-functionally with Operations and Commercial teams and acquire deep knowledge of Nestlé’s supply chain. Your listening skills would add value to translating business models into a value proposition for our customers.
Procurement
Bringing the best to our consumers
Our procurement teams bring in manufacturing solutions, services and materials, and leverage market insight, innovation and best practices from suppliers. They help to deliver sustainable growth by developing responsible, sustainable, and regenerative supplies.
Career opportunities in Nestlé procurement span category management in direct and indirect materials and services, sustainability and responsible sourcing, process improvements, business partnering and supply chain operations.
With over 40 different nationalities across our three Global Hubs (Malaysia, Switzerland and Panama), we have rich diversity and we pride ourselves in ensuring equal opportunities for each individual.
You'll have the flexibility to grow your career within a specific location, category, or on a global scale: a unique opportunity to develop an international career in procurement awaits you.
We look for
People who can think in a strategic, analytical and agile way, with an end-to-end business management mindset, and who proactively build and manage partnerships within and outside the group to create sustainable value through sourcing.
People who communicate well and manage complex relationships with stakeholders at all levels, embrace multicultural diversity and inclusion, and have the passion to work across multiple categories, geographies, and functions.
Nestlé values your experience. You can work your way into the position you want, and find all the tools to help you achieve your career goal. And it’s global so you can even have a lot of options regarding mobility.
Sales
Sales
We sell over a billion products every day, generating CHF 94.4 billion of sales in 188 countries across the world in 2022.
Our Sales and Commercial Development teams drive this result, handling category and shopper management, customer relationships, route to market strategies, field sales activities and our customer-facing supply chains. In all these areas, we're focused on delighting our consumers and helping them to live happier and healthier lives.
