Diageo jobs, judged for you, free

What they do

Diageo makes and sells alcoholic drinks. Its postings say it is the world's leading premium drinks company, with over 200 brands sold in nearly 180 countries, and name Johnnie Walker, Guinness, Tanqueray, Smirnoff, and Don Julio. More than half of its people work across more than 100 sites. East African Breweries is part of the group.

What they value

• Brands people love, which every posting names before the role itself.
• Curiosity, which postings ask you to use as you explore and innovate.
• Quality, efficiency, and sustainability together at each stage of making a drink.
• Working across cultures, currencies, and tax regimes, which African postings state plainly.
• A career worth celebrating, which is how the postings describe the offer.

What they look for

Postings introduce the company, then the function, then the role, so the function paragraph tells you what the team is for. The supply chain director posting in Canada asks for proven ability to lead change in supply chain operations and to run Canadian supply operations, and it names the site and the manager it reports to. The procurement posting in Nairobi sits inside East African Breweries and describes the wider procurement team as responsible for more than £5 billion of annual spend, so the scale of the budget is the context for the role. It also states that the business works across several currencies and regulatory regimes. Compliance postings name the market in the job title, such as a statutory compliance manager for the Greek market, which signals the local rules and language the role needs.
