DuPont’s MLDP offers you an accelerated, tailored career path and prepares you to assume a leadership role. The management, marketing, and strategy skills you bring to your roles will contribute to high-impact assignments designed to both leverage and enhance your individual goals and development. You will benefit from the mentorship of corporate leaders, a network of global community peers, and high-level exposure to the diverse businesses within DuPont.

The program is designed to accelerate leadership development and prepare you to become a general manager.  Full-time assignments are real roles (not projects) based on business need and provide opportunities to drive visible business results, experience multi-functional environments, and learn about DuPont’s markets, products, and strategies.

Your roles may include: Strategic Marketing and Execution; Business Strategy and Planning; Product Innovation; Commercialization and Marketing Management; Sales Effectiveness and Management; or Business Transformation and Development.  

MLDP members are highly visible to senior managers in DuPont who serve as executive mentors within the program. You’ll enjoy the advantages of global exposure, a strong work-life balance in an open environment, and both formal and informal on-the-job training. You will also learn and understand how DuPont’s core values of Highest Ethical Behavior, Safety & Health, Respect for People, and Protect the Planet differentiate our Company and our employees.

Hybrid working assignments will be available at our US locations: Wilmington, DE; Richmond, VA; and Midland, MI. Most opportunities will be based at our headquarters in Wilmington, DE

Candidates for the Program must possess these qualifications:

• Current enrollment in an accredited MBA program; preferably with an emphasis on marketing, corporate strategy, or general management

• 5+ years of relevant work experience (i.e., strategy, business development, marketing, consulting, product management)

• Strong drive for results and a passion for growing businesses

• Demonstrated leadership experience

• Outstanding problem-solving and analytical skills

• Exceptional interpersonal skills, including networking, relationship building, and influence management

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to present effectively to senior managers

As an MLDP participant, you will help DuPont to grow faster, stronger, and smarter — in a culture that will help you grow, too.

We are excited to share that on May 22, 2024, DuPont announced plans to separate(1) into three industry-leading, independent publicly traded companies. This strategic move will create focused businesses with distinct investment profiles. We believe the proposed separations will create opportunities for all three future companies to better serve their customers and unlock long-term value for stakeholders. This process is expected to take 18-24 months from the date of announcement to complete. We are committed to supporting our employees throughout this transition and ensuring a smooth and successful separation process. We look forward to welcoming new talent who are interested in contributing to the continued success and growth of our evolving organization.

(1)The separation transactions are subject to satisfaction of customary conditions, including final approval by DuPont's Board of Directors, receipt of tax opinion from counsel, the filing and effectiveness of Form 10 registration statements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, applicable regulatory approvals, and satisfactory completion of financing.  For further discussion of risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could impact the achievement, expected timing and intended benefits of the separation transactions, see DuPont’s
