• Assess and interpret skills data to identify capability gaps, adjacencies, readiness risks, and future skill demand signals, translating insights into executive‑ready recommendations
• Serve as a trusted advisor to senior leaders on skills strategy, including how AI and automation are changing role design, proficiency expectations, and capability investments
• Establish and sustain governance standards to ensure consistency, quality, and relevance across skills frameworks, data sources, and tools
• Produce high‑quality deliverables including role‑based skill profiles, skills architectures, skills matrices, and strategic insights for executive and enterprise audiences
• Continuously test, learn, and evolve the skills approach as job architectures, technologies, and workforce models change
• Perform other responsibilities as the scope and maturity of HPE’s skills strategy evolves
• Leads multiple large projects and programs with global and cross-organizational program teams
• Develops strategy for projects and programs that significantly impact multiple businesses.
• Ensures alignment of program priorities with business and L&D strategies.
• Stays abreast of current market or technology trends, provides thought leadership, and consults on areas of expertise throughout the organization.

Education and Experience Required:

• Typically, 3+ years’ experience as a talent analyst, workforce planning analyst, organization designer, job architecture consultant, or L&D role focused on curriculum‑to‑skills alignment
• Typically, 6+ years’ experience, including managing large complex projects or programs.

• Proven project leadership capabilities, including managing ambiguity, prioritizing progress over perfection, and delivering outcomes across multiple stakeholders
