What makes the Mars Research and Development (R&D) departments so unique? Our Research team are constantly scouring the globe for new perspectives on what will please the people who buy our products. Meanwhile our Associates in Development are on a tireless quest to create winning brands that fly off the shelves. However, what gives R&D its unique flavour here is that our people work across both disciplines, applying their intellectual curiosity, their ability to solve old problems with new thinking and their forward-looking approach to everything they do.
Without the expertise of our Engineering team, our products would never make it out the lab. What’s interesting and challenging about the Engineering part of Mars is the huge range of projects Associates are able to get involved in. Whether it’s developing our production lines to improve value management and food safety, or deliver new products and packs, there’s no shortage of stimulating assignments to be embarked on at Mars.
Finally, it takes a network of about 20,000 Mars Associates worldwide to produce and reliably deliver the products that tick all the boxes when it comes to taste, look, nutrition, convenience and cost. With such size and scope, Manufacturing at Mars requires uncompromising quality standards, consummate technical skill and a real penchant for problem solving. Consequently, we make sure the people who work here are able to constantly improve processes and produce even greater results.Join any of these departments and you’ll have the responsibility to shape and drive our future direction as well as your own. Plus the training you need to stay one step ahead of industry developments.
Forget number crunching and shopping lists. Finance and Procurement at Mars is about so much more. In fact, it’s a totally different experience.
With some of the UK’s best-loved brands to our name, we know a thing or two about creating consumer desire. Or to be more precise our Marketing and Sales Associates do.
HR, IT and Logistics. All these functions have a vital part to play in keeping our business successful and innovative – an aim shared by all the Associates in this part of our business.
