Begin your career in Lilly's HR Foundations Program, a rotational development experience designed to build future HR leaders. This program provides early-career professionals with broad exposure across the Human Resources function through a combination of specialized and business-facing HR experiences. HR Associates will start in an HR Center of Excellence (COE) role, gaining expertise in areas such as Talent Management, HR Technology & Operations, Strategic HR Business Support, or Global Benefits.

After one year, associates will transition into a business-facing HR role, partnering with leaders to support talent strategies, workforce planning, and organizational initiatives. During the final six months of the program, associates will participate in a part-time HRTO (HR Technology & Operations) experience designed to further strengthen their technical and analytical capabilities. Upon completion of the program, associates will present their key learnings and contributions to the HR Lead Team before transitioning into their first HR role outside of the program.
