Job Summary

This role is responsible for framing TIO’s long-term aspiration, crystallizing our where-to-play and how-to-win choices, and uncovering new growth horizons at the intersection of emerging technologies, customer pain points, and strategic whitespace. You will lead the development and articulation of enterprise-level strategy that shapes HP’s future technology bets.

This is a role for a sharp strategic mind with strong strategy consulting/corporate development instincts along with hands‑on business experience in a start‑up or technology company. We are looking for someone who has a strong handle on the market and AI trends, can structure ambiguous problems, create compelling frameworks, craft tight narratives, find insights hidden in the noise, and elevate complex analysis into clear executive storytelling.

You will drive market and competitive analysis, business plans, and investment theses while helping build HP’s innovation ecosystem across startups, VCs, and partners.

You will translate external signals into actionable recommendations for HP’s ELT and Board and connect the dots across customer pain points and unmet needs to translate them into business model choice‑points. The ideal candidate can work in a fast‑paced setting, is analytical, creative, and highly polished with the ability to go deep in the details while elevating insights to shape top‑level strategy.

Key Responsibilities Strategy & Narrative Development
  • Lead the creation of strategic frameworks, hypothesis trees, and storylines that simplify complex technology spaces into compelling, executive‑ready narratives
  • Develop clean, visually strong, and insight‑driven slides that distill data, frameworks, and technical content into high‑clarity recommendations
  • Craft strategic narratives that guide ELT and Board decision‑making—including vision statements, investment rationales, and long‑term strategic choices
Market, Customer & Competitive Insight
  • Conduct structured market, customer, and competitive analyses across GenAI, edge AI, multimodal, developer tools, and vertical‑specific applications
  • Synthesize disparate signals into actionable insights that clarify where HP has a right‑to‑play and how we win
  • Build segmentation, TAM/SAM models, ecosystem maps, adoption curves, and category frameworks
Business Planning & Investment Thesis Development
  • Build data‑driven business plans that articulate opportunity size, economics, monetization models, costs, and risks
  • Develop investment theses (build/partner/invest/acquire) that balance strategic rationale, financial considerations, and technical feasibility
  • Partner with Corporate Development and HP Tech Ventures to evaluate external opportunities
Cross‑Functional Influence
  • Collaborate with engineering, product, TIO, and BU leaders to align opportunity framing with HP’s technology roadmap and capability strengths
  • Clarify what matters most, distilling customer needs into technology implications and strategic choices
  • Drive alignment across senior stakeholders and influence decision‑making through structured, insight‑led storytelling
Ecosystem Engagement
  • Engage deeply with startups, VCs, research labs, and partners to map emerging technology trends and identify strategic collaboration areas
  • Help build HP’s innovation ecosystem and assess the long‑term impact of nascent technologies on HP’s portfolio
Key Skills & Capabilities Strategic & Analytical Excellence
  • Structured problem solver with exceptional ability to break down ambiguous problems into crisp frameworks
  • Fluency in market analysis: TAM, segmentation, competitive dynamics, value chain analysis
  • Strong business model analysis (pricing, unit economics, monetization pathways, growth levers)
Executive Storytelling & Visualization
  • Outstanding ability to build simple, clean, logical storylines that influence senior audiences
  • Strong slide‑making and visualization skills (consulting‑level): pyramid communication, frameworks, 2×2s, architectures, heat maps
  • Comfort distilling complex technical content into concise, compelling messages
Insight Generation & Connecting Dots
  • Ability to “see around corners” and identify non‑obvious connections between customer needs,…
