Are you a data-driven professional with a passion for retail dynamics and omnichannel strategy? Colgate-Palmolive is expanding its high-performing VDC team and looking for a talented Customer Development Specialist to uncover actionable market insights. This is your chance to manage brand growth and elevate business fundamentals for a world-renowned household name.

The Customer Development Specialist (CD Specialist) position is a full-time, hybrid role based out of Rosemont, Illinois, offering a competitive annual salary range of $76,800 to $107,500. In this role, you will synthesize multiple commercial data sources to build cohesive category overviews and strategic customer recommendations. Successful applicants must already possess full-time U.S. work authorization, as visa sponsorship is unavailable.

To truly stand out, preferred qualifications include prior experience within the Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) sector, a strong understanding of sales, marketing, and eCommerce, and hands-on familiarity working with syndicated data services like Nielsen or IRI.
