Management Associate- Li & Fung Group

Founded in Guangzhou in 1906 and headquartered in Hong Kong, the Li & Fung Group is a multinational group of companies with over 35,000 staff working in 80 offices in 40 economies worldwide.
Li & Fung is the market leader in supply chain management with three district core businesses in sourcing, distribution and retailing. The reason why we are what we are, is because of our people.
In an increasingly complex global market environment, we understand the importance of nurturing the right people for us to continue to grow and prosper. That’s why we launched Program for Management Development (PMD) in 2010. PMD gives our people the right platform and tools to meet today and tomorrow’s challenges, and bolster synergies across the Group.
We will be recruiting suitable talent from around the world to become our Management Associates. Starting in October 2011, they will undergo a one-year rotational attachment to Li & Fung’s sourcing, distribution and retailing operations in any of the Li & Fung offices around the world. Tailor-made educational modules, developed by top-notch universities and taught by experienced senior executives and professors, will be provided throughout the program.
Upon successful completion of the first year, Management Associates will take up junior managerial positions within the Group. During the first five years, they will be given international and cross-group exposure to equip themselves with the necessary skills and knowledge to move into senior management positions with P&L responsibility.
Ideal candidates will be those who want to pursue a career in supply chain management and develop themselves into experts in network orchestration, in an environment where changes and challenges are constant. At the same time, they should have the following:

A recognized university degree in any discipline
3 - 5 years’ full-time work experience
Excellent command of English
A willingness to travel and to be based in different regions
Strong customer focus
An entrepreneurial spirit
PMD is open for application until 31 March 2011. You will need to complete an on-line application form at www.lifunggroup.com and attach an introductory letter and your resume in English in your application.
