The Technology Leadership Development Program’s (TLDP) vision is to develop future leaders in BD’s R&D organization by providing TLDP associates with broad and deep technical assignments across BD.
The program consists of three successively more challenging assignments that can span multiple businesses and/or locations within BD, strengthening the skills of these high-potential associates while developing their leadership skills across multiple disciplines.
A career path is sculpted for each TLDP candidate based on the individual's skills and interests. This allows greater flexibility and accelerated development within BD.
The TLDP job posting will be open from August 1st to October 9th, 2020. If you plan to graduate before October 2021, please consider applying during this hiring cycle! Candidates will hear back about next steps within 3 weeks of the application closing date.
