Job Description

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.

At Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), we help power the technology behind the scenes. From the supercomputers helping scientists tackle some of the world’s biggest challenges, to the networks connecting stadiums, businesses and communities, our technology is helping shape the future.

But technology is only part of our story.

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.
