Program Overview:

L3Harris’ Human Resources Leadership Development Program (HRLDP) is designed to accelerate the development of future HR leaders through meaningful rotational experiences, enterprise exposure, leadership development, and mentorship. The program builds a pipeline of agile, business-minded HR leaders who are prepared to support complex talent priorities across L3Harris business areas. The HRLDP consists of three unique, 12-month rotations across different businesses, HR disciplines, and U.S. locations. Participants gain hands-on experience in both business-facing and functional HR roles while partnering with HR and business leaders to solve talent challenges, support employee experience, and contribute to enterprise and segment-level priorities.

Over the course of the program, you will:

• Complete three 12-month rotations across different HR disciplines, businesses, and U.S. locations.


• Complete at least one rotation in an HR Business Partner role, partnering with client groups to help build and execute talent strategies aligned to business priorities.


• Gain exposure to areas such as HR business partnership, talent management, talent acquisition, employee and labor relations, total rewards, organizational effectiveness, HR operations, and workforce planning.


• Participate in and / or lead enterprise or segment-wide projects and initiatives.


• Take on meaningful work that supports continuous improvement in the employee experience.


• Build relationships with HR executives, business leaders, peers, mentors, and other early-career talent across the company.


• Gain opportunities to network with and present to senior leadership.


• Receive structured development through training, mentorship, cohort learning, and in-role experiences aligned with accelerated leadership development.

Participants should expect to work in three different U.S. locations throughout the program. Rotations may include, but are not limited to, Melbourne, FL; Rochester, NY; Greenville, TX; Salt Lake City, UT; Camden, AR; and Clifton, NJ. Rotation assignments will primarily be determined based on business needs, talent priorities, and development opportunities. Because geographic mobility is a core component of the HRLDP experience, participants must be willing to relocate for each rotation and for the role immediately following program completion. Relocation assistance is provided for each required move.
