LONDON—Unilever, which makes Vaseline skin care products and Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, says it is laying off 1,500 staff as part of a company-wide restructuring.

The proposed changes mean that senior management jobs will be cut by about 15 percent while junior management roles will be reduced by 5 percent, it said Tuesday. The London-based consumer goods giant employs 149,000 people globally.
