What you'll do: Position Overview: The Program Manager - IT Cyber Compliance orchestrates and delivers Eaton's multi-framework cybersecurity compliance program end to end, translating the CISO's compliance vision into an executable, measurable plan.

The role is the driving force behind Eaton's pivot from reactive, event- and audit-driven activity to a continuous, assurance-based compliance capability - treating certifications as a strategic capability rather than a one-time event. This is a delivery-accountable program management role with deep compliance expertise. The Program Manager runs the full program lifecycle - scope, schedule, budget, risk, dependencies, and outcomes - across concurrent certification and assessment workstreams spanning CMMC 2.0, SOC 2, ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus (CE+)

Success is the consistent, predictable achievement and sustainment of compliance assurance that protects revenue, contract eligibility, and customer preference with Eaton's largest customers and regulators. The role is a key contributor to Eaton's "Test-Once / Apply-Many" evidence model, enabling reusable assurance across multiple regulatory and customer frameworks, directly supporting the Eaton CISO's Strategy. Key Responsibilities: Compliance Program Leadership & Delivery Own end-to-end delivery of Eaton's Cyber Compliance Transformation Program, meeting defined objectives, timelines, scope, budget, and business outcomes across all in-scope frameworks, control and sites.

Translate the CISO's compliance strategy into an integrated program plan, roadmap, and roles-and-responsibilities matrix; maintain the program charter as the authoritative governing artifact. Operate a single program intake so framework demands are prioritized, sequenced, and paced through one coordinated model rather than competing efforts. Framework-Specific Compliance Expertise CMMC 2.0 (critical path): lead Level 2 readiness across in-scope environments - self-assessment, POA&M remediation, CUI protection, C3PAO assessment scheduling and execution - aligned to NIST SP 800-171 and US Department of Defense / Department of War contract requirements

SOC 2: manage readiness and examination cycles against the Trust Services Criteria, coordinating control evidence and auditor engagement for shared services and customer-facing environments. ISO 27001: sustain ISMS certification and surveillance/re-assessment cycles across certified sites, including mandatory documentation, internal audits, and external (e.g., BSI) assessments. Cyber Essentials & CE+: drive certification and vulnerability-remediation readiness required for UK MOD and BAE contractual obligations, coordinating with assessors (e.g., URM / IASME) and site owners

TISAX & sector regulations: maintain TISAX and adjacent regulatory obligations (e.g., EASA Part-IS for aerospace sites), mapping shared controls to reduce duplicate effort. Unified Control & Continuous Assurance Advance the Unified Control Framework and "Test-Once / Apply-Many" evidence model so a single control set and reusable evidence satisfy many frameworks. Shift the program from point-in-time audits to continuous control testing and monitoring, ensuring controls operate effectively and assurance can be demonstrated at any time

Partner with Internal Audit to define what "great" looks like, validate control testing models, and reduce exceptions through standardized remediation and tracking. Stakeholder, Risk, Dependency & Financial Management Serve as the face of the program - owning the plan, risks, executive presentations, and escalations - and the senior point of coordination with control owners, regional security leads, IT, legal, and business stakeholders. Proactively identify, mitigate, and resolve risks, issues, and cross-framework dependencies to protect delivery timelines, using a CISO-level escalation path where needed.

Actively manage budgets, forecasts, and resources to optimize delivery efficiency and program value. Key Responsibilities: Audit Readiness & Assessment Execution Lead assessment-ready posture - compliance preparation playbooks, mock assessments, and standardized audit responses - and sequence concurrent certifications through a roadmap-based plan. Oversee the quality, traceability, and reuse of compliance evidence in Eaton's systems of record, and coordinate post-assessment issue tracking and remediation validation.

Governance, Reporting & Program Performance Deliver decision-ready visibility into program health through status reporting, OKRs/KPIs/KRIs, leadership presentations, and steering-committee facilitation, with timely minutes, actions, and follow-ups. Apply disciplined program governance and methodology to keep multi-workstream delivery on track and decision-making timely. Innovation, Automation & AI Enablement Champion scaling compliance through automation and AI - improving evidence quality and reuse, accelerating customer and regulatory questionnaire responses, and surfacing trends, gaps, and emerging risks.

Pilot and embed continuous control monitoring and GRC tooling that reduces manual effort while improving predictability and quality, alongside the risk enablement team. Continuous Improvement & Maturity Advancement Advance Eaton's Compliance Maturity Model from Reactive Proactive Optimized, applying lessons learned to streamline processes and strengthen integration across risk, controls, and compliance. Qualifications: Required Qualifications: Bachelor's degree from an accredited institution in Information Security, Risk Management, Information Technology, Business Administration, or a related field (or equivalent experience).

10+ years of experience in program/project management, with significant time leading cybersecurity compliance, GRC, audit, or assurance programs.
