About the Program
For more than 25 years, the mission of the Commercial Leadership Program (CLP) has been to recruit, retain, and develop top MBA talent with leadership capabilities and aspirations to support the commercial talent pipeline. Amgen's CLP is a leadership development program consisting of 3 full-time, 12-month rotations that provides members the unique opportunity to accelerate their commercial career in biotech through three foundational sales & marketing experiences. Program graduates are now in leadership roles throughout Amgen. Starting in 2021, Amgen initiated a company-wide virtual-first way of working with an option to be fully remote or partially onsite, thus the CLP allows geographic flexibility.
