Qualifications:

• Significant general management and leadership experience, including direct P&L responsibility at $XXXm scale.
• Experience leading managers and geographically distributed cross-functional teams.

How you'll lead:

Eaton's Culture Model calls on leaders to Win Together, Think Big and Act Boldly. In this role, that means:

Win Together - Build trust and alignment across product lines, countries and functions. Bring product, commercial, engineering and operational priorities into a coherent direction, respecting matrix accountabilities while challenging local optimisation. Create constructive tension where growth ambition, investment, portfolio priorities and execution capacity do not align.

Think Big - Connect customer needs, market opportunity, regulation and technology across the full LSDPI portfolio. Identify where connected products, digital services, stronger channels and Eaton's broader commercial reach can create meaningful customer and enterprise value. Balance long-term portfolio direction with near-term performance and customer commitments.

Act Boldly - Make explicit choices rather than producing broad strategic themes. Challenge incremental thinking, outdated technology, weak market coverage and unsupported investment logic. Surface difficult trade-offs and provide clear direction that enables teams to make decisive portfolio, product, market and investment choices.

All positions may require participation in video and in-person interviews as part of the hiring process. All candidates will be evaluated based on job-related competencies, and all candidates' privacy rights and data security will be protected in accordance with applicable laws.

We are committed to ensuring equal employment opportunities for job applicants and employees. Our recruitment processes use balanced selection criteria and avoid unlawful discrimination against applicants on the basis of their age, colour, disability, marital status, national origin, gender, gender identity, genetic information, race or racial origin, religion, sexual orientation or any other status protected or required by law.
