Birdman MBA Leadership Development Program
Build. Scale. Lead.
We are building the future of health and wellness.
Birdman is inviting a
small, highly selective group of top candidates
to join a leadership track designed for exceptional builders with the ambition and capability to grow fast and make an outsized impact. This is not a traditional rotational program. It is a
24-month MBA Leadership Development Program
built to fast-track top talent into critical leadership roles across Birdman. You won't rotate to observe—you'll rotate to
own, build, and deliver results
.
We will select
only one candidate per area
.
About Birdman
Birdman is the leading health and wellness brand in Mexico, built on innovation, sustainability, and a vertically integrated model spanning R&D;, operations, marketing, and commercial execution. As Birdman's headquarters, our team does not simply execute a global playbook—we help define it. From Guadalajara, we shape strategy, priorities, and innovation across markets, channels, and functions.
Our ambition is bold:
to become one of the top 5 health and wellness brands in the world within 5 years.
To achieve this, we expect:
5.7x revenue growth
4.2x EBITDA growth
Driven by:
increasing sophistication in commercial and marketing levers
expansion into
7+ countries
expansion into adjacent product categories
For ambitious leaders, this creates a rare opportunity: a place where growth is not just possible—it is expected.
The Program
Over 24 months, you will rotate roles within
1–2 core business functions
, taking on high-impact roles with real scope, high expectations, and direct exposure to senior leadership.
Potential areas include:
Growth & Ecommerce
Sales & Commercial Strategy
Marketing & Branding
International Expansion
Finance & Administration
Operations & Supply Chain
As part of the application process, candidates will be asked to
select 2–3 areas of strongest interest
. We will take these preferences into account and aim to place each candidate in a role where they can
build deep expertise and grow from within over time
, rather than simply rotate without continuity.
This program is designed as a
mini-GM training ground
, where you will operate at the intersection of strategy and execution.
Some roles may include direct ownership of a channel, initiative, geography, or business area early on. Others may be more cross-functional in nature. But across all roles, the standard is the same:
big scope, high expectations, and real accountability
.
?
Example trajectory:
Growth → owning a channel → leading a market or function
For those who consistently deliver, Birdman offers a pace of growth that is faster than almost anywhere else.

one per area
