You will be the cross-functional champion who frames and governs the total, "out-of-the-box-to-everyday-use" experience for our key user personas. Moving beyond individual products, you will own the blueprint for the entire ecosystem—the hardware, the software, the services, and the support—that we deliver to a "Digital Creator," a "Hybrid Professional," or a "Student Gamer." You will not just set plans and strategy from the sidelines, while the process manager executes the plans in the trenches, but also own the success of the business objective that process serves.

Bespoke Journey Curation: Define the ideal, end-to-End (E2E) journey for each persona. This includes: Hardware: Influencing design and key specs that matter most to the persona. Software: Curating the Out-of-Box-Experience (OOBE), defining pre-installed software, utility apps, and partner integrations. Services: Bundling and integrating value-add services in a way that feels seamless, not-tacked on. Content: Guiding the creation of persona-specific tips, tutorials, and welcome content. Cross-Functional Leadership: Act as the central "glue" between Product Management, Hardware Engineering, Software R&D, System Management, and Customer Support. You will lead by influence, ensuring all teams are aligned and executing against a single, cohesive experience vision for each persona. Ecosystem Thinking: Champion a holistic view that ensures a seamless interaction between all HP devices and services (e.g., PCs, printers, peripherals, and software) for a target user. Experience Roadmapping: Partner with product leaders to build a multi-year experience roadmap that prioritizes and sequences the delivery of new, persona-led features and initiatives.
