Position Summary

The Leadership Development Program (LDP) is designed to prepare high-potential candidates for future leadership roles within Om Produce. This structured program provides hands-on experience across key operational and business functions, including warehouse operations, transportation, safety compliance, sales, procurement, and leadership.

The program emphasizes accountability, operational excellence, and leadership readiness to support company growth, expansion, and potential acquisitions. LDP participants will gain cross-functional exposure to understand the full scope of operations required to successfully manage a distribution facility or support new business locations.

When you complete the program, we'll place you where the business needs you most. That could mean supporting warehouse operations at our Irving facility, stepping in as a transportation supervisor at a newly acquired location, or helping us professionalize a smaller operation we've brought into the Om family. The role, function, and location will depend on where you're needed — and we're upfront about that.

The right person for this program is someone who sees that as an opportunity, not a drawback.

Training & Rotation Areas

Participants in the Leadership Development Program will complete their initial training and development at the company’s primary operations facility in Irving, Texas, before being considered for placement or relocation opportunities based on business needs.

• Outside Sales & Customer Service
