Internally the CSE will collaborate with global colleagues on the Data Center Learning team as well as cluster leadership, Public Policy, Public Relations and Community Engagement specialists, to help create the educational and training mechanisms required to deliver the required talent, training and skills at the right time, in the right location and at the right level to support the operational growth of the cluster.

Develop frameworks that support progressive career pathways for your cluster.
• Stakeholder Management & Alliance Building: Build and maintain strategic relationships with key stakeholders across educational institutions, government agencies, and industry partners. Support expansion into new locations by engaging with cluster leadership early and helping them build their training program as the cluster prepares to launch and expand. Facilitate collaboration between multiple stakeholders to achieve program objectives. Manage complex partner relationships and expectations. Create governance structures for multi‑stakeholder initiatives. Develop and maintain executive‑level relationships with partner organizations.
• Performance Measurement & Analytics: Establish KPI frameworks for DC Learning education and training programs. Implement data collection and analysis processes.
