Distribution Leadership Program

This posting is for our 2026 cohort.

Are you looking for a way to jumpstart your career in the logistics, distribution, sales, or construction industry? At Colony, our Distribution Leadership Program (DLP) role develops leaders through an immersive rotational experience with hands-on field work and supplemental leadership development. Colony will provide you with the foundation to build a long-term successful career. As a program participant, you can look forward to :

  • Access to senior leadership through quarterly discussion
  • Mentorship opportunities both on the peer and senior leadership level
  • Dedicated support from our HR team

As a future leader at Colony, you will be building relationships and developing the skills, techniques, and knowledge to lead your team to success for years to come.

A little about your day :

  • As a participant in our 30-week rotational Distribution Leadership Program, you will have the opportunity to begin your training experience in one of our training branch locations, where you will work with some of the most experienced and successful distribution management teams in our industry.
  • In the first 15 weeks of your program, your goal is to learn how our products move through the warehouse and get to our customers. You will work hands-on with our teams in your assigned branch location, including :
  • Receiving and stocking

  • Picking and packing
  • Inventory control
  • Dispatch and delivery (including driver ride alongs)
  • Forklift operator training
  • Operations management
  • In the second 15 weeks of your program, you will continue at your assigned branch and move through rotations in the following focus areas :
  • Purchasing

  • Inside sales
  • Counter sales
  • Outside sales
  • Branch management
  • Throughout your program, you will have opportunities to travel to branches within the Colony network to give you an immersive experience in operations and sales to better understand how different branches function.

    What you'll need to have for success :

  • A bachelor's degree in business, logistics, supply chain, professional sales, marketing, or a related field is required
  • Must be open to extended travel and relocation
  • Attention to detail mindset
  • A desire for providing exceptional customer service
  • More about the program :

    The overall focus of the rotational program is for you to gain an understanding of the broader Colony business model. As a DLP participant, you are considered a full-time, exempt employee. Upon completion of the Program, the Employer may present the DLP candidate with a job offer best aligned with their skillset and the Employer's business needs. Colony will provide financial assistance for you as you move through the program, allowing you to work in one or more of our branch locations.
