Women in Leadership program
Do you want to make a positive, lasting impact?
What if you could do that in a role where hard work, dedication and outside-the-box thinking is not just encouraged, but rewarded?
Our Women in Leadership program is your opportunity to make that future a reality.
At Rio Tinto, we know inclusive and diverse workplaces deliver better safety outcomes, improved financial performance, higher productivity, increased innovation and better decision-making.
Through our Women in Leadership program, we’re increasing the number of women in our operational leadership teams by recruiting talented women into roles where they are supported to develop their skills and contribute to positive cultural change.
No experience in the mining industry is required – we are interested in your dedication to achieving your leadership potential and your unique skills and experience.
You may have never considered mining, or feel that your current career path is your set future. But with Rio Tinto, you will be joining some of the industry’s best and brightest minds. With a global reach, the opportunities to develop your career with us are broad and exciting.
Successful applicants will be supported by tailored mentoring, networking, coaching, and education programs to enhance their leadership, technical, safety and business capabilities.
