Human Resources Leadership Development Program (2027)

About the Role

The Human Resources Leadership Development Program (HRLDP) at Vertiv is designed to develop the organization’s next HR leaders by providing new industry talent with exposure to multiple facets of Human Resources through rotational experiences, professional support from a dedicated mentor, and opportunities for cross-program collaboration.

As an HRLDP participant, you will take on meaningful, high-impact assignments that build strategic, operational, and leadership capabilities while gaining direct visibility with senior leaders across the global organization.

Program Structure

The HRLDP consists of three one-year rotations, offering hands-on experience in different areas of Human Resources at a global, multi-billion-dollar organization. Rotations may include:

• Global HR (partnering with business leaders on organizational strategy)
• Plant HR (supporting employees and operations at a manufacturing site)

Participants may complete one rotation outside of Westerville, Ohio—either at another U.S. location or internationally—to expand perspectives and prepare for global leadership roles.

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