Kohler’s Leadership Development Programs are designed to accelerate the development of future leaders through structured, cross-functional rotational experiences that drive meaningful business impact. Participants join as full-time associates, gaining broad exposure across the organization while being supported through intentional development, mentorship, and a strong cohort experience.
The Finance Leadership Development Program (FLDP) is where early-career finance talent steps into the business—not just as analysts, but as trusted partners, problem-solvers, and future leaders. From day one, participants are placed close to the work that matters: helping teams understand performance, evaluate tradeoffs, telling the story behind the numbers, and turning insights into action.
The experience is intentionally hands-on and highly connected. FLDP participants rotate through meaningful assignments that build technical depth, business acumen, and leadership confidence while also creating a strong sense of community through their cohort, mentors, leaders, and peers across Kohler. It is a place to take ownership early, stretch into new challenges, and grow through experiences that make a visible impact.
