Human Resources Leadership Development Program (2027)

About the role

The mission of Vertiv’s Human Resources Leadership Development Program (HRLDP) is to create the organization’s next HR leaders by developing new industry talent—providing exposure to multiple facets of Human Resources through rotational experiences, professional support from dedicated mentors, and opportunities for cross-program collaboration. HRLDP participants will take on meaningful assignments that build strategic, operational, and leadership capabilities while also gaining visibility with senior leaders across the organization.

How HRLDP Works

The HRLDP provides recent master’s graduates with the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in different areas of Human Resources at a global, multi-billion-dollar organization. The program consists of three, one-year rotations designed to accelerate growth and give broad HR expertise. Rotations may include experiences in:

• Center of Excellence (e.g., Talent Management, Compensation, Learning & Development)
• Global HR (partnering with business leaders on organizational strategy)
• Plant HR (supporting employees and operations at a manufacturing site)

Participants also have the unique opportunity to complete a rotation outside of Westerville, Ohio—either at another U.S. location or internationally—expanding perspective and preparing for global leadership roles.

Throughout the program, participants receive ongoing professional development opportunities, including workshops, training, and exposure to senior leadership. Each participant is paired with a dedicated mentor who provides guidance, coaching, and support.
