This job is with Reckitt, an inclusive employer and a member of myGwork – the largest global platform for the LGBTQ+ business community. We are Reckitt, home to the world's best loved and trusted hygiene, health, and nutrition brands. Our purpose defines why we exist: to protect, heal and nurture in the relentless pursuit of a cleaner, healthier world. We are a global team united by this purpose. Join us in our fight to make access to the highest quality hygiene, wellness, and nourishment a right and not a privilege.
