The Director of Compliance & Controls is a senior leader within HPE Operations responsible for helping the organization deliver on its commitments to customers, business units, while maintaining the trust, compliance, and resilience required to operate on a global scale.

Reporting to the VP of HPE Operations Business Operations, this leader will partner across HPE Operations and with HPE's enterprise compliance organizations to ensure the organization is prepared for evolving regulatory requirements, maintains a strong controls environment, and proactively identifies and mitigates operational risk.

Aligned with HPE Operations' vision to be a breakout competitive advantage for HPE through AI-enabled, capital-efficient, and resilient execution, this role plays a critical part in advancing our strategic imperatives—helping HPE Operations deliver best-in-class customer experiences, operate with speed and resilience, and embed trust and compliance by design.
