Commercial Computing Strategy

HP•Houston, TX

6d•$130,700 - $205,200

About The Position

The Portfolio Strategy & Planning team shapes the future of HP’s Commercial PC portfolio by connecting technology, customer needs, market dynamics, competitive intelligence, and business economics. This role operates at the intersection of technology and business strategy, identifying emerging developments, evaluating their importance, and helping HP turn insights into products and business decisions. The position develops recommendations that influence HP’s multi-year Commercial PC portfolio, product roadmaps, platform direction, and strategic investments. It assesses technologies and market developments across areas such as AI, processors, connectivity, security, displays, software, and computing architectures, then translates them into customer and business opportunities, investment choices, and actionable plans. The role works across HP functions and with external technology partners, and presents clear, executive-ready recommendations to senior leaders. This is an ambiguous, high-impact strategy role rather than a traditional planning or reporting position. Recommendations may inform product roadmaps, technology investments, portfolio decisions, partnerships, and responses to competitive moves or emerging markets.
