The Sales Development Program is a 12-week program that supports our Consumer Brands Group. Selected candidates will be supporting the Lowe’s stores within the geographic region into which they are hired. The training location for the development program will be in the Charlotte area and trainees must be located here for the duration of the training program. A valid driver’s license is also required due to the expectation that our trainees will be traveling to multiple stores in the assigned area to get the true experience of a Sales Representative within our company.

In addition, trainees may be asked to travel outside of their assigned region to support business needs in other geographies, requiring travel both local and overnight. Preference will be given to candidates that are open to relocating based on business need upon completion of the program.    

This training program is currently scheduled to begin in January 2025. 

This Development Program is the ideal fast track for candidates with long-term goals of pursuing a Sales Management career for a Fortune 500 company and provides immense opportunity to learn about Sherwin-Williams, the Consumer Brands Group and our multiple categories and channels of business.  

After completing the Sales Development Program, successful participants will be eligible to apply to full-time Sales Representative roles within Consumer Brands Group Lowe’s Business Unit, as available, that may include a quarterly bonus plan, relocation benefits and company vehicle. Post program opportunities may require relocation. Additionally, your knowledge, skills and experience will lead successful individuals to follow multiple opportunities along the Consumer Brands Group career path or with other Sherwin-Williams divisions.

Job duties involve contact with customers, which may include minors; and access to cash and other payment methods, electronic equipment, personal information, store merchandise and other items of value, and such access may be supervised or unsupervised. The Company therefore has determined that a review of criminal history is necessary to protect the business and its operations and reputation and is necessary to protect the safety of the Company’s customers, staff, employees, vendors, contractors, and the general public.
