About Tiger Brands

Tiger Brands is a proudly South African company with a portfolio of award-winning household brands that touch the lives of millions of people every single day.

With operations spanning manufacturing, marketing, and distribution of everyday branded food and beverages, Tiger Brands offers students an unmatched environment in which to develop real, industry-relevant skills.

About the Opportunity

This is a full-time, onsite Work Integrated Learning placement based in Roodekop.

You will work under the guidance of an experienced Line Manager who will assign and oversee your WIL project throughout the placement period.

• Collaborate with a cross-functional team to complete your Work Integrated Learning project as directed by your Line Manager
• Gain on-the-job experience that is directly aligned with your career aspirations and field of study
• Take on additional responsibilities as requested to support the achievement of broader business objectives

Minimum Requirements

Applicants must be in possession of, or currently studying towards, a relevant degree aligned to the job title — Workplace Experience Student. You should be a motivated self-starter with a genuine interest in FMCG, a willingness to learn, and the ability to work effectively within a team.

Employment Equity
