Job Description:

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

The Financial Leadership Program (FLP), a two-year leadership development program, designed to prepare high performing, high-potential talent from diverse backgrounds for leadership roles in Fidelity’s Finance organization. The program, which was founded in 1998, combines four six-month assignments across multiple business units, workshops and training sessions to further develop your critical leadership, business, and analytical skills.

Each FLP Project Manager is matched with a sponsor who helps to ensure that you are successful in achieving your goals. Sponsors are senior finance leaders who serve as your mentor and manager throughout the program. The sponsor guides the selection of assignments, provides business insight, coaching and feedback.

Fidelity Finance hosts a series of trainings, many of which are unique to the FLP. These events are designed to broaden your understanding of Fidelity’s businesses and prepare you for a leadership role in Finance. The relationships you build through the program’s extensive alumni, the Finance organization, and business partners will help provide you with the guidance and opportunities necessary for your continued growth and development throughout your Fidelity career.

Fidelity will continue to keep the safety of associates and customers as our top priority and this will never change.

As the pandemic evolves and Federal, State, and Local regulations emerge, it has become clear that knowing the vaccination status of all associates is critical to our safety efforts. 

Therefore, Fidelity will require all candidates to disclose their COVID-19 vaccination status during the hiring process, and if vaccinated, provide proof of vaccine.   

This is not a requirement to be vaccinated. It is a requirement to report vaccination status and, if vaccinated, provide proof.
