Stakeholder Alignment and Business Partnership Build trusted partnerships across Procurement, Legal, Compliance, Supply Chain, and business units, aligning priorities and driving shared ownership of responsible sourcing outcomes. Influence without direct authority across highly matrixed teams to resolve competing priorities and drive practical adoption of program requirements. Serve as the primary point of translation between technical human rights and environmental risk and the business decisions those risks inform. Represent responsible sourcing priorities in cross-functional planning and decision-making forums. Risk Translation and Business Communication Translate complex human rights, labor, and environmental risks into clear, pragmatic business impact, covering market access, customer trust, and reputational exposure. Advise internal partners on emerging risks and regulatory developments in terms that connect directly to business decisions and outcomes. Prepare concise, decision-ready updates for leadership that frame risk and program status in business terms rather than technical detail.

Partner with Legal and Compliance to translate regulatory obligations into practical implementation plans and process changes. Support readiness for customer, regulator, and market access requirements tied to human rights and environmental due diligence.

Proactively identify structural gaps or inefficiencies in the current program and develop pragmatic solutions. Bring sound judgment to ambiguous situations where clear precedent does not exist. External Engagement Represent HP in relevant industry coalitions and working groups to inform practical, business-relevant positions on emerging standards. Build relationships with customers, auditors, and external stakeholders, framing HP’s program and progress in clear business terms. Strategic Leadership and Organizational Ownership Own the strategic direction of HP’s responsible sourcing and human rights due diligence program, setting priorities that anticipate regulatory, geopolitical, and market shifts rather than reacting to them. Serve as the accountable owner for how the program evolves as complexity increases, including realigning strategy, structure, and resourcing as needed. Represent responsible sourcing strategy directly to senior leadership, translating enterprise risk into clear business priorities and resourcing decisions.
