Why SLP?
The Stanley Black & Decker Leadership Program ("SLP") is a high-profile two-year rotational program that is an integrated process for accelerating the development of our future leaders. It is geared toward recent graduates with Supply Chain and Operations internship experience and a relevant business degree with a passion for a long-term career in Global Supply Chain. Our program offers invaluable experiences for early-career associates seeking challenging developmental opportunities to jump-start their careers
Program Overview:
The Global Supply Chain Leadership Program is an entry-level development experience for recent graduates who want to build a long-term career in manufacturing and supply chain leadership. Participants complete three rotations over two years, typically in 6- or 12-month assignments. Each rotation provides meaningful ownership, site-level experience, functional depth, and exposure to different businesses, facilities, products, and leaders across the United States.
Rotational Experiences:
Assignments are selected based on development needs and business priorities and may include:
Purchasing: Manage supplier and material issues, support sourcing or cost initiatives, improve supplier performance, and reduce supply risk.
Continuous Improvement: Lead Lean projects, develop standard work, improve flow and productivity, facilitate kaizen activity, and strengthen daily management.
Quality: Lead defect reduction and corrective-action work, improve process capability, support quality systems, and strengthen customer-quality performance.
Planning: Translate demand into executable supply and production plans, improve inventory and schedule performance, and support capacity and constraint decisions.
Operations: Own daily performance improvement within a manufacturing or distribution area, supporting safety, quality, delivery, cost, people, and asset results.
Development and Support:
Rotation manager and project sponsor for each assignment.
Program leadership, peer cohort, alumni network, mentoring, and exposure to senior Global Supply Chain leaders.
Structured learning focused on manufacturing fundamentals, Lean and continuous improvement, business acumen, communication, and people leadership.
Formal performance and development reviews at key points in each rotation.
Post-program placement consideration based on performance, capability, career interests, location flexibility, and business need.
The Job:
As an SLP, you'll be part of our Global Supply Chain team working as an on-site employee. As part of the program, you'll get to:
Own defined business results and deliver measurable improvement, not only observe or support the work.
Build credibility on the floor by learning the process, engaging employees, following standard work, and responding to issues with urgency.
Use structured problem-solving, data analysis, and change-management skills to move from root cause to sustained countermeasure.
Lead cross-functional work with operations, engineering, quality, planning, purchasing, finance, maintenance, EHS, HR, suppliers, and other partners.
Communicate progress, risks, and recommendations clearly to site and Global Supply Chain leaders.
Actively manage an individual development plan, seek feedback, build a network, and prepare for a post-program leadership or functional role.
The Person:
You love to learn, grow, and be acknowledged for your valuable contributions. You're not intimidated by innovation. You also have:
Bachelor's degree in Industrial, Manufacturing, Mechanical, Systems, or Electrical Engineering; Supply Chain; Operations Management; Logistics; Analytics/Planning; Business; or a related discipline.
Recent graduate or early-career professional, generally with fewer than two years of full-time professional experience.
At least one internship, co-op, research, military, or substantive project experience related to manufacturing, distribution, purchasing, quality, planning, operations, or continuous improvement preferred.
Demonstrated leadership potential, learning agility, accountability, analytical thinking, communication, collaboration, and bias for action.
Interest in hands-on manufacturing and willingness to work in plant or distribution environments.
Ability and willingness to relocate for assignments and post-program placement. Rotations may require moves every 6 to 12 months.
Experience with Microsoft Office is expected; exposure to ERP, analytics, Lean, quality, or digital-manufacturing tools is helpful but not required.
Must have legal authorization to work in the country of the position without restriction, consistent with applicable job-posting requirements.
