Job Description

At HP, we believe in the power of ideas. Our vision is to create technology that makes life better for everyone, everywhere - every person, every organization, and every community around the globe. This motivates us - inspires us - to do what we do. To make what we make. To invent, and to reinvent. To engineer experiences that amaze.

In the Enterprise Transformation Office, we are looking for visionaries who are willing to push boundaries to help us rewrite the rules for HP Inc. We are looking for those who are insatiably curious, able to work across borders and without limits, and who possess the passion to help shape the future of the company. At HP Inc, the future is yours to create.

The Strategy and Business Management organization is seeking a Project Manager to support the Enterprise Transformation Office under Kim Rivera, President of Transformation and Chief Legal Officer for HP Inc. In this role, you will report to the Global Head of Enterprise Transformation and will also work closely with both the President and many of the HP leadership team in driving projects associated with multiple large-scale transformation efforts underway across the company. These efforts are more challenging to manage as they are typically multi-dimensional in nature, often including elements of organizational design, process re-wiring and engagement with external management consulting firms while also requiring the application of sophisticated change management techniques. The role of the Project Manager is central in ensuring success of these enterprise transformation efforts as they not only organize, efficiently track and communicate status for the overall program, but they also have the fingers on the pulse of all associated workstreams and serve as the early-warning system when the program is headed off track. They are the trusted advisors for not only the Senior Program Managers, but for the cross-functional team members and management.

This is highly-dynamic and exciting role at the center of critical efforts to continuously evolve the company - a trusted go-to resource for the leaders of the Enterprise Transformation Management office, who gets things done and works effectively across all levels of the organization.

4) Coordinate with stakeholders across the larger HPI organization on agendas and materials needed for all core team meetings and internal executive forums, including all L1-level reviews, planning sessions and face-to-face meetings.

5) Drive continuous improvement of operational processes to drive a high-performance organization.

• Drive and/or support strategic cross-functional programs:

1) Lead or support strategic projects as requested that could include but are not limited to: supporting the annual Long-Term Business Planning process in partnership with Finance and Business Strategy team, developing and maturing governance models for new transformation functions, establishing new operational tools and processes for the Transformation office.

2) Track action items from key reviews and follow-up with owners to ensure action items are addressed and resolved in a timely manner.

3) Contribute to continually improving how these programs can be managed, executed and transitioned to the broader HPI organization to own and drive.

Education and Experience Required:
