Accelerate your ramp into Dell with the Marketing Development Program The Marketing Development Program (MDP) is a 9-12 month program designed to give new MBA marketing hires access to exclusive trainings, executive exposure and unique networking opportunities. The MDP helps new MBA marketers ramp quickly so they can dive in and start making a difference from day one. The MDP consists of marketers fresh out of top MBA programs. The majority of MDP team members join Dell full-time after interning with the company the summer between their first and second years in school. MDP members join a wide variety of teams such as: product marketing, marketing analytics and online marketing.

Post-MDP roles The MDP serves as an acceleration program for Dell’s newly acquired MBA marketers. MDP members transition out of the program and either choose to stay in their current roles, or transition into a new role after 9-12 months. Program management aids members in identifying new opportunities within Dell. MDP participants exiting the program either move into a highimpact traditional marketing role or are eligible to apply for the Marketing Rotation Program (MRP). Both traditional marketing roles and the MRP are great options for continued career development. The pathway chosen depends on an individual’s career goals and the position he or she would like to pursue. Whichever direction you take your career, the Marketing Talent & Capabilities Team and MDP Program Managers help guide you through the transition.
“MDP participants are some of the most valuable leaders on my team. They tend to bring a “point me in the right direction and let me go” type of attitude. Because of that I typically give them high visibility, high impact projects.” Carolyn Loudenslager Dell Marketing Director
