• Operational Excellence: Define metrics to measure certification maturity, launch readiness, and post‑launch quality. Establish ingest, validation, and exception‑handling processes. Drive continuous improvement using customer feedback, operational data, and incident learnings.
• Communication & Enablement: Clearly document certification levels, expectations, and device status for internal stakeholders. Serve as the single point of accountability for device manageability readiness within the ecosystem. Enable sales, support, and partner teams with clear expectations and launch confidence.
• What Success Looks Like: Hardware NPIs enter the HP Manageability ecosystem through a predictable, repeatable certification process. Launch readiness is clearly understood, measurable, and trusted across teams. Device quality and manageability consistency improves over time. Stakeholders are able to trust and executing launches.

Education & Experience

• Recommended: Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.
• 5+ years of experience in product management, platform product management, or technical program ownership.
• Proven ability to design and operationalize structured frameworks across multiple teams.
