Our procurement managers work as highly respected partners internally and externally to create and implement strategies and processes that support the business in bringing important health solutions to people around the world.

Procurement leverages the supplier base as a source of innovation by developing closer and more collaborative relationships, and strongly supports sustainability and supplier diversity on behalf of Johnson & Johnson. These creative solutions are facilitated by Procurement through key capabilities, including deep supply market understanding; actionable insights and knowledge; and processes & technology management in order to ultimately accelerate growth and innovation, deliver value for our spend portfolio, and enhance reputation & manage risk. Johnson & Johnson Procurement considers people and talent with diverse perspectives as critical to achieving its vision.

The Procurement Leadership Development Program (PLDP) is a three-year, rotational full-time program that is designed to fill our pipeline of future leaders. The program is based on a model of "Education, Experience and Exposure."

The PLDP curriculum includes both functional & leadership training, senior leader mentorship, formal leadership assessment & mentoring, numerous networking opportunities, and culminates with a "capstone" project in support of a key business challenge strategic to the procurement function.

Examples of the types of roles and responsibilities the PLDP Manager include (but are not limited to):

• Partnering with category teams and category leaders in developing and implementing strategies to drive significant value from the supplier base.

Your second rotation will last 2 years within a Business Unit in a strategic role in one of the following areas: Commercial, R&D, Indirect Service Procurement or Supply Chain. These two rotations will help you build your skills and the competencies to be successful in various leadership roles in the procurement function.
