Business Strategist - AI, Edge and Emerging Tech

Description -

The Technology & Innovation Organization (TIO) is a newly formed division at HP that is dedicated to driving technological advancements and fostering innovation across the company. Our vision is to transform HP into a technology leader that enables intelligence at the edge.

This is an exciting role that will help shape HP's long-term ambition by defining where we play, how we win, and where new growth exists at the intersection of emerging technologies, customer pain points, and strategic whitespace. You will lead and articulate the enterprise-level strategy that guides HP's future technology bets.

We are seeking a sharp strategic thinker with strategy consulting or corporate development experience, complemented by hands-on work in a start-up or technology environment. You bring a strong grasp of market and AI trends, can structure ambiguity, build compelling frameworks, craft clear narratives, and extract meaningful insights from complex data. You will lead market and competitive analysis, business plans, and investment theses while shaping HP's innovation ecosystem across startups, VCs, and partners.

You will turn external signals into actionable recommendations for HP's ELT and Board, connect customer pain points to business model choices, and drive clarity on where and how HP should play. The ideal candidate is analytical, creative, polished, and equally comfortable diving deep into details or elevating insights to inform top-level strategy.
