About The Position

Guardian Service is recruiting high-potential professionals for a two-year Business Builder Program focused on helping build the company. Participants work directly with senior leaders on important growth priorities and take responsibility for both analysis and execution.

Projects may include launching products, improving sales performance or member experience, and evaluating opportunities to expand into new markets.

Participants receive regular feedback, mentorship from a leader outside their reporting line, and opportunities to learn and build relationships with a cohort of peers. The program aims to develop the judgment and operating experience needed to lead a function or build something new within the business.
