Leadership gateways

Our Leadership Gateways are programs designed to attract, retain and stimulate the growth of exceptional candidates in three key sectors of our business: Marketing, HR and Innovation. The application process is rigorous and the learning curve is steep, but the rewards are great.

We set the bar high right from the start. You must have a Master’s Degree and a proven track record of successful leadership over a number of years in your chosen field. In addition, you must be able to demonstrate a high level of achievement in project that you have run, strategies that you have devised and implemented, and business goals that you have reached. You must be able to impress us with your interpersonal abilities, your sound business sense and your commitment to our “Sense and Simplicity” philosophy.

If you are accepted, you will benefit from a superbly structured leadership program that gives you two years of specialist skills and career development training, including one-to-one coaching from senior management, to help you fulfil your potential as a future leader with Philips.
