What you'll do:

Eaton's Global Data Center Segment is focused on helping data centers realize real business benefits today while optimizing their operations for the future. With the rise of big data, edge computing and cloud, data centers are under pressure to be more high-performing, sustainable and cost-effective than ever, without compromising resilience or security. At the same time, new opportunities and revenue streams require faster speed-to-market. With our digital intelligence, world-class cyber-secure products and services, reliable, compatible solutions and engineering expertise, we help data centers realize real business benefits today while optimizing their operations for the future.

Within this segment, Eaton has an opening for a Global Program Manager - Data Center Capability Building. This is a dedicated, full-time role responsible for the end-to-end setup, execution, and scaling of the TechWolf capability-building program for Eaton's Global Data Center Segment. Techwolf is an AI platform that automates workforce mapping and skill inference by integrating with Eaton's HR systems.
It builds and updates job-to-skills taxonomies using internal and external data to enable targeted talent strategies and personalized learning.

This role serves as the primary program leader for the TechWolf partnership-ensuring the pilot, first-phase deployment, and long-term scalability are delivered through disciplined program management, clear process ownership, and data-driven insights. The role is positioned to support the global Learning & Development strategy deployment, with day-to-day focus on program leadership, execution governance, and cross-functional coordination across HR, IT, the Global Data Center business and regional business units and functions. The role reports into the Director of Human Resources for the Global Data Center Segment and functionally reports to the Learning & Development Program Manager for Global Data Center Segment.

Key Responsibilities:

Program & Execution Leadership
• Own the end-to-end program management for the TechWolf capability-building initiative, with accountability for execution, delivery milestones, and outcomes across the Global Data Center Segment.
• Coordinate and align stakeholders across Learning & Development, HR, HR Technology, IT, and the Data Center business, ensuring clarity of ownership and interfaces when defining "end-to-end" scope.
• Supports executive sponsorship and escalation models defined for the program, including alignment with HR and business executive sponsors.
• Assemble, manage, and adapt pilot groups for TechWolf as business needs evolve, ensuring momentum through the pilot and first deployment phases.
• Track, report, and manage pilot success criteria, risks, and dependencies; escalate issues through established governance and executive sponsor channels as needed.

TechWolf Implementation & Capability Building
• Lead the deployment and integration of TechWolf for the Global Data Center Segment, including creation and ongoing maintenance of job and skills taxonomy and skills inference capabilities.
• Define and manage processes for taxonomy updates, skills inference evolution, and ontological changes, ensuring rigor, accuracy, and scalability over time.
• Serve as the linchpin for TechWolf success and scale, supporting expansion across additional roles, groups, and geographies as scope grows beyond the initial pilot.

Insights, Analytics & Talent Enablement
• Deliver data-driven insights and market benchmarking related to skills, job taxonomy, and evolving Data Center talent needs.
• Partner with Talent Acquisition to support hiring strategies for hard-to-fill roles using skills-based insights.
• Collaborate with HR and Learning partners to inform talent development, retention strategies, and long-term workforce planning-while maintaining clear boundaries on ownership of employee relations, change leadership, and communications.
• Work with analytics and reporting teams to provide transparent progress updates to HR and business leadership.
• Demonstrate TechWolf as a complementary source of market-facing compensation signals for the jobs we are actively hiring by using its skills intelligence to normalize and compare "like-for-like" jobs across the external market. By mapping Eaton roles to validated skill profiles (and reducing variability in job scoping and titles), we can more confidently benchmark similar jobs and refine offer positioning-supporting more consistent, data-informed decisions on where to lead, match, or lag the market for scarce skills, while improving speed and quality in offer calibration in partnership with HR/Compensation.

Governance & Role Boundaries
• Serves as program and execution owner, operating in alignment with and under the guidance of HR and ELR governance. The role does not hold accountability for HR policy ownership, employee relations, or enterprise change leadership, which continue to sit with HR leadership and established governance frameworks.
