Global consumer health manufacturer across oral care, personal care, and pet nutrition
Colgate-Palmolive is a large-scale manufacturing and distribution operation running SAP as its backbone enterprise system, with active modernization toward cloud data infrastructure (GCP, AWS, MongoDB, Neo4j) and AI-augmented workflows (RAG adoption). The hiring profile is sales and marketing-heavy (209 combined roles) relative to engineering (39), indicating a brand-and-channel-driven go-to-market rather than a product-engineering roadmap; the bulk of engineering effort is directed at supply-chain automation (Wonderware, Rockwell, Siemens PLCs) and SAP system evolution (MDM implementation, Integration Suite).
Notable leadership hires: Team Lead Business Analytics, Team Lead, Territory Business Lead, Data Delivery Lead, Regional Team Lead
Colgate-Palmolive manufactures and distributes oral care, personal care, pet nutrition, home care, and skin care products across a global footprint spanning 25+ countries. The company operates a multi-brand portfolio including Colgate, Palmolive, elmex, Tom's of Maine, hello, Speed Stick, Softsoap, Irish Spring, Filorga, eltaMD, PCA Skin, and Hill's Science Diet, among others. Operations scale across manufacturing sites, regional distribution networks, and direct-to-consumer channels, with active projects centered on new product launches, supply-chain optimization (kaizen, inventory reduction), and SAP data modernization. The organization maintains 10,000+ employees and drives ongoing cost reduction and margin improvement initiatives across production and commercial functions.
