Program description:

The LATICRETE Management Development Program is designed to provide business professionals a focused, accelerated development path (similar to an apprenticeship) with the goal of developing them into future managers and leaders within the organization. We aren’t just looking for people to go through the program, we are looking for managers who want a long-term successful career at LATICRETE.

The associate is expected to complete rotations following our Marketing Program Track which includes 5 rotations in our North America division.

During the rotations, it is expected that associates will learn the LATICRETE business. The Management Development Program provides an experience that can take a decade for young professionals to accrue elsewhere!

You will have significant access and visibility to our senior leadership team as well as all our leaders across the organization.

Our program is a 12 to 18-month rotational program for high-potential associates. Each candidates program will be tailored towards the individual’s specific goals and experience while also preparing them for a career within Marketing. A sample Marketing Track could include:

·        Technical Service

·        R&D

·        Marketing

·        Sales

·        Manufacturing or Customer Service

Each rotation will have clearly stated learning objectives, projects and skills that must be completed in order to move to the next rotation. Rotations build off one another so that associates acquire the knowledge and skills needed to progress to the next rotation.

After the completion of the program, the associate will be placed in a permanent role based on their skills, interests, performance, and most importantly, business needs/opportunities. Some of our previous candidates are now leading a variety of areas such as training, analytics, and international marketing.
