Creative Design Manager

This role has been designed as ‘Hybrid’ with an expectation that you will work on average 2 days per week from an HPE office.

This role is responsible for leading design across web and digital experiences with a focus on scale, consistency, and modernization. The Creative Design Manager oversees both the quality of design output and the systems and workflows that support it, ensuring design can move faster without sacrificing clarity, accessibility, or craft. The role partners closely with product, engineering, brand, and marketing teams to translate strategy into repeatable, durable design solutions.

A key focus is evolving how design is produced—introducing AI and automation where they meaningfully improve efficiency, iteration, and consistency, while maintaining strong design judgment and standards. This role manages a multidisciplinary team and is accountable for setting direction, providing feedback, and developing talent. Success is measured not only by what ships, but by how effectively design scales across platforms, regions, and initiatives over time.
