ABOUT PROJECT MIRAI Mirai represents a strategic transformation initiative aimed at harmonizing, simplifying, and modernizing Unilever’s core business operations through the implementation of a single ERP system, standardized business processes, and the integration of Agentic AI. This transformation will enable autonomous operations and reduce operational complexity. The core business processes most impacted by Mirai span Finance, Customer Operations, Manufacturing, and Procurement and will be harmonized by adopting a “fit to standard” approach; this mandates the use of best practice ‘out of the box’ process models embedded within the single ERP system. This standardization aims to eliminate local variations, reduce complexity, and enable consistent, scalable operations across markets and functions. Additionally, Mirai represents a fundamental unlock to maximize the potential of capacity release and effectiveness from our GBS operations. JOB PURPOSE Find your purpose at Unilever.
