Job Description

Location: Central London
Start Date: July 2027

You might not know HPE yet. But you’ve probably experienced the impact of our technology. Ever streamed a film, followed a Formula 1 race, visited a major sporting event or wondered how AI is changing the world? Behind many of these experiences is technology that connects people, processes huge amounts of data and helps organisations do extraordinary things. Big technology. Bigger opportunities to make a difference. At HPE, we believe a great workplace is built by its people. Across the UKIMEA, our team members are creating communities, championing inclusion, supporting wellbeing and making a real difference beyond their day jobs. Our culture isn’t just something we talk about. It’s something our people actively build. Through our Resource Groups and Site Councils, colleagues lead initiatives that bring people together, celebrate different backgrounds and help everyone feel they belong. Our Day of Service has brought thousands of volunteering hours to charities and local communities, while our commitment to inclusion, wellbeing and development has earned recognition at the CRN Women & Diversity in Channel Awards, including the Health and Wellbeing Recognition Award and Highly Commended Best Place to Work.

You’ll gain exposure to different parts of the business, work with experienced leaders and have the opportunity to bring your own ideas to the table. We don’t expect you to know everything when you arrive. What matters is your curiosity, willingness to learn and enthusiasm to get involved. If you’re looking for a placement where you can develop your skills, build meaningful relationships and finish the year knowing you’ve made a real contribution, we’d love to hear from you.
