About A Passion for Beauty at P&G

Pantene, Cover Girl, Herbal Essences, Max Factor, Head and Shoulders, Olay . . . You haven't just read a shopping list of beauty essentials -- you've read a list of brands brought to you by P&G.

Since 1837 we've provided consumers with useful, innovative products destined to become household names. A quick glance around your corner market -- and probably your own cupboards -- is all it takes to see that our dedication to providing quality, trustworthy products has made us a staple on shopping lists --and a giant in the now-global marketplace for consumer products. To date, P&G is home to 22 billion-dollar brands, with more on the horizon. We believe that each of those 22 amazing success stories hinges on our dedication to and nurture of consumer closeness, innovation, branding and go-to-market capabilities, what we'll discuss in more detail later as being the core strengths of P&G.

P&G Beauty is the creative force behind no less than five of those 22 billion-dollar brands, in addition to more than 100 brands sold in more than 180 countries. We are literally a global beauty presence and a major player in this $200 billion dollar industry. We got to this level using the same core strengths as the rest of the company -- plus one more.

At this point, you might be thinking "Okay, that sounds exciting for research scientists, MBAs, and marketing executives, but my experience is in couture, styling, salon, and/or boutique culture. What could I possibly offer a company with so many resources and so much success?" If that's what you're thinking, make sure you hear this message loud and clear. People like you are our fifth core strength!

It's people like you -- people with intimate knowledge of the beauty industry, an intuitive gift for trend and aesthetics, and insight into the desires of the consumer -- that give P&G Beauty its fifth core strength: beauty expertise and continuity. And that fifth core strength is the secret ingredient in each and every one of our winning brands. We value candidates whose passion, insight, and experience will help us meet our goals of becoming the most innovative and in-touch beauty company in the world.

It's beauty-inspired people that make us the success that we are. A quick look at the history of our company affirms this truth over and over again -- and points to the way we'll meet our goals in the future!
