Join the team behind iconic brands like Andrex®, Kleenex® and Kimberly-Clark Professional®. At Kimberly-Clark, it’s all here for you innovation, growth, and the chance to make a real impact.
You’re not the person who will settle for just any role. Neither are we. Because we’re out to create Better Care for a Better World, and that takes a certain kind of person and teams who care about making a difference. Here, you’ll bring your professional expertise, talent, and drive to building and managing our portfolio of iconic, ground-breaking brands. In this role, you’ll help us deliver better care for billions of people around the world. It starts with YOU.
This role will be part of Kimberly Clark's International Family Care and Professional (IFP) business—an organization rooted in purpose and innovation that has built a legacy with global impact. As Kimberly-Clark forms a strategic partnership with Suzano to create a world-class international tissue and professional products company, this role is proposed to transfer to the new venture once the transaction closes, anticipated in mid-2026, subject to consultation and other applicable legal requirements. This is a rare opportunity to help shape a new global leader backed by two industry powerhouses. You’ll be part of a high-potential business that combines Kimberly-Clark’s iconic brands and commercial excellence with Suzano’s industrial and sustainability leadership.
Are you ready to take your career to the next level in a dynamic, high-impact role? We’re looking for a Key Account Manager to join our successful, fast-paced team. This is a unique opportunity to play a critical role in accelerating the team’s impact on the business while developing your career within a world-class organisation.
