+ Develop high-quality presentation materials for C-suite and senior executive audiences.   + Partner with Applied AI leaders to translate technical AI, platform, infrastructure, and product work into clear business narratives and measurable outcomes for HP.   + Create reusable communication frameworks and establish recurring forums to improve how Applied AI explains its strategy, priorities, and impact.

- Operating rhythm and organizational effectiveness:

+ Design and manage the Applied AI operating cadence, including staff meetings, leadership meetings, business reviews, OKR checkpoints, team-wide meetings, planning cycles, and offsites.   + Drive the annual and quarterly priority-setting process, ensuring goals, OKRs, milestones, dependencies, and owners are clear across the organization.   + Coordinate internally facing initiatives that improve team effectiveness, coordination, engagement, planning discipline, and cross-functional alignment.   + Partner with finance, HR, and Applied AI leadership to maintain budget, forecast, headcount, contractor, vendor, and investment trackers.

- Transformation initiatives:

- Strong collaboration and influencing skills; able to work through leaders and peers without direct authority and build trust across functions.

- Technical fluency and curiosity: ability to understand AI, data, software, platform, infrastructure, and responsible AI concepts well enough to translate them into business-relevant narratives and operating plans.

- Bachelor's degree required; MBA, MS, or advanced degree preferred.

**Preferred Qualifications:**

- Experience working in or supporting AI, data science, software engineering, cloud / platform, infrastructure, automation, or enterprise technology organizations.
