The Dow Chemical Company is seeking MBA students for marketing internships. The primary emphasis of these internships is value growth, whether through opportunity assessment, product/service launch, or customer/product optimization.

What is the Marketing Leadership Development Program (MLDP)?

MBA students entering Dow''s MLDP as interns have an opportunity to participate in Dow’s transformational effort. MLDP interns will be assigned to a three month project in the marketing, product management, or new business assessment category. During this project, the intern will be an active member of a Dow business, and have opportunity to apply and further develop his/her marketing skill set. Successful interns will be evaluated as candidates to join Dow’s team for permanent marketing roles.

Typical MLDP intern projects include:

• Developing understanding of market trends, needs and structure
• Providing opportunity recommendations on new markets or industries to pursue
• Developing new business ideas and shaping a hypothesis to create value
• Conducting a value chain analysis for a particular market/industry
• Creating value models to identify value creation of new product/service offerings
• Conducting competitive analysis
• Participating in the implementation of a new business concept and strategic plan

Who are we seeking for the Marketing Leadership Development Program?

A technical undergraduate degree is desired, but not required. Undergraduate degrees in the fields of chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, or chemistry make for particularly attractive candidates. Applicants with at least two - four years post-undergrad work experience prove to be strong MLDPs; this experience need not be with a capital intensive organization, or within the chemical/plastics industry.

We look for individuals who have strong analytical skills, yet are innovators. Strong communication and collaboration skills are essential, as is the ability to work independently. Strength in financial analysis and value chain analysis is important and experience with creative business models is helpful.

Qualifications

• First year MBA students
• Technical undergrad degree desired but not required (chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, chemistry)
• Two - four years of postwork experience preferred
• Interest in marketing role and career path beneficial, not required
• Strong analytical capability
• Ability to build and leverage a strong contact network
• Ability to collaborate globally and lead courageously
• Innovative mindset which combines listening, understanding, anticipating, and solving

A minimum requirement for a US-based position is the ability to work legally in the United States on a permanent basis.
