Management Development

Daymon Worldwide’s Management Development Program (MDP) is a year-long training and orientation program designed to rapidly train associates on the retail industry, Private Brand and Daymon’s global operations.
The focus of the Management Development Program is to begin developing both recent college undergraduates and select internal candidates into strong leaders and contributors for our organization through a fast-track learning experience based at a Customer Team location in the U.S. combined with extensive classroom and on-the-job training.
At the conclusion of an individual’s program, the goal is to secure “permanent” placement as a Business Manager (or equivalent) that mutually benefits the associate, the receiving account team, and the organization overall.
 
A Daymon Worldwide Management Development Associate (MDA) will learn to:
  • Articulate Daymon’s business model and detail our position between our Supplier Partners and our Customers and the variety of services we offer each of our business partners.
  • Understand the current state of global food/retail marketing and the environmental forces that are impacting our business and the businesses of our constituents.
  • Demonstrate a clear understanding of Private Brand retailing, including historical sales trends, specific market and customer trends, and an understanding of marketing concepts and processes.
  • Understand the general structure and function of Daymon’s customer teams and Daymon Resource Center departments. Understand day-to-day responsibilities of each customer team function and how each interacts with the Supplier Partner, Customer and Daymon Resource Center.
  • Perform the functions of an Associate Business Manager as outlined in the Associate Business Manager Manual.
  • Demonstrate a clear understanding and be able to effectively perform the responsibilities of a Business Manager.
