Developing strategies in a changing world

Products, industries, technology, strategy, and new business – our marketing division. Just as diverse as BASF.

As the world’s leading chemical company, BASF produces an incredible variety of products for a wide range of consumer industries - for example the automotive, construction and food industries.

Of course, this offers a vast number of opportunities for marketing professionals. Our marketing teams act as a link between BASF and the global market, with its ever-changing demands. Reacting to these changes quickly and efficiently requires market transparency. In marketing, you are responsible for product and industry segments and will consolidate BASF’s global market leadership in close collaboration with our sales teams in the business units.

How to become a part of our team!

As a university graduate you have the chance to join the company directly in a position of responsibility. From the very start, you will take on responsibility for the tasks, products, and projects assigned to you.

You will be supported by experienced colleagues, training 'on-the-job' and other measures that will give you an easy start with us.

Once you apply to us, we organize an interview day for you where you will have several one-on-one conversations with marketing experts and managers – this is the best way of finding out if the chemistry between us is right.
