Print Sustainability Leader, Imaging & Printing Solutions

Description -

Location: Singapore (based in HP's Sustainability Center of Excellence, Singapore)

Reports to: President of CPSS, hosted function with responsibilities across Core & Industrial Print.

Direct Reports: Senior Manager, Competitive Intelligence & Product Teardowns (Consumer & SMB), plus additional sustainability program/strategy leads as the COE scales Team (via direct + dotted line): 10+ across strategy, competitive intelligence, and program management

About the Role

HP's Print & Imaging business is looking for a Director to own the vision, strategy, and execution of Sustainability as a competitive differentiator across the global Print & Imaging business. This leader will drive the shift from static, compliance-driven sustainability reporting toward an agentic, AI-enabled model of real-time optimization across the print product lifecycle — and will establish Singapore as HP's global hub for sustainability innovation in Print.

This is a strategy-and-execution role: the Director sets the multi-year sustainability vision for Print, translates it into concrete workstreams and MBOs across the organization, and ensures every major product and go-to-market decision is informed by credible carbon, circularity, and competitive data. Transition Print sustainability from an operational cost ("tax") into a market differentiator for the future of work — moving from static compliance reporting to agentic sustainability with real-time optimization of the print lifecycle. Strategic outcome: drive sustainability as a market differentiator for Print, not a cost center.

The Director will directly oversee the Print’s Sustainability Center of Excellence in Singapore and ensure HP's understanding of its own sustainability position is always grounded in rigorous, side-by-side benchmarking against Epson, Canon, Brother, and other competitors.

Partnering with GPC&SI, this role

Feed Print-specific carbon, circularity, and competitive data into GPC&SI's enterprise-wide reporting, keeping what Print reports consistent with what HP discloses externally

Translate enterprise goals (HP's 2030 Sustainable Impact Goals, 2040 Net Zero ambition) into Print-specific strategy, product requirements, and competitive positioning

Partner with GPC&SI on regulatory readiness and market access issues affecting Print (e.g., Ecodesign, energy labeling, extended producer responsibility), owning Print's execution and competitive response

Why This Role Matters

Print Sustainability is expanding compliance obligation to a genuine source of competitive advantage. This Director will define what that shift looks like in practice — building the data infrastructure, service models, and Singapore-based innovation hub that let HP tell a credible, differentiated sustainability story versus Epson, Canon, Brother, and others, while directly overseeing the competitive intelligence function that keeps that story honest and current.

Enable precision sourcing through ML-based optimization of carbon, circularity, and cost trade-offs

Target outcomes: shorter R&D cycles, minimized waste, and reduced reliance on "green premium" pricing

Key dependency: embedding AI agents across Operations and Supply Chain

2. "As-a-Service" Circularity & Carbon

Lead the shift from product ownership to performance-based, "as-a-service" models

Own next-gen SMB Managed Print Services ("Light MPS 2.0") — circular subscriptions where HP retains ownership

Drive print hardware renewal programs for SMB customers

Sponsor AI-personalized take-back and trade-in programs driven by predictive device health monitoring

Working with R&D, develop Engineering sandbox to testbed Print innovations

Win-win: lower customer TCO, higher HP margins through extended asset longevity

Key Responsibilities

Sustainability Strategy & Innovation Leadership

Drive sustainability strategy and innovation across Print Products and Services, in partnership with the Print divisions

Own the multi-year vision, evolving it as regulatory, competitive, and technology conditions shift

Set direction for L2/L3/L4 leaders across the Climate, Human Experience, and Digital Equity pillars

Guide what cross-functional teams deliver each year, including their MBOs

Program Governance & Financial Stewardship

Steward sustainability spend with discipline, keeping a clear line of sight to the business benefit it delivers to Print

Aggregate inputs across teams and initiatives into one holistic sustainability narrative, tracking progress against goals

Own the tools and processes that bring the sustainability story to customers, channel partners, and internal stakeholders

Competitive & Market Positioning

Directly manage the COE's Competitive Intelligence & Product Teardowns lab (Consumer & SMB), ensuring the CI lab network (Singapore, Bangalore, Vancouver, Korea) treats sustainability benchmarking — carbon, materials, circularity, certifications — as a first-class output alongside cost and technology teardowns

Sharpen HP's product positioning, roadmap decisions, and public claims versus Epson, Canon, Brother, and emerging players using competitive sustainability intelligence

Feed sustainability findings directly into product design and go-to-market strategy

Corporate Alignment, Compliance & Market Access

Keep Print's data, disclosures, and narrative consistent with — and contributing to — company-wide ESG reporting

Balance corporate sustainability ambition against Print's practical realities, making pragmatic trade-offs where the two diverge

Ensure Print products, services, and solutions meet regulatory requirements (e.g., EU Ecodesign, energy labeling, extended producer responsibility, right-to-repair) across HP's markets

Own market access risk, ensuring compliance and certification requirements are met so Print products sell without disruption globally undefined

Cross-Functional Innovation

Drive sustainability-linked innovation with R&D, Supply Chain, and other key partners

Build sustainability requirements into the innovation pipeline early enough to deliver genuine customer value - not bolted on to satisfy compliance alone

When customer value and compliance/market-access needs compete for resources, make the prioritization call and communicate the rationale

Partner with R&D and Supply Chain to turn sustainability innovation (materials, circularity, energy efficiency) into product differentiation rather than added cost

Communications & Brand

Leverage sustainability data and competitive positioning in outbound communications at both brand and product level

Partner with Marketing to develop and execute the strategic marketing plan for Print sustainability

Deliver executive-level briefings and represent Print Sustainability in customer, partner, and internal forums

Team & Organizational Leadership

Recruit, develop, and retain talent with the strategic, technical, and AI/data capabilities the function needs

Represent Print Sustainability in senior leadership and cross-functional governance forums

What We're Looking For

12+ years of experience in sustainability, ESG, environmental strategy, or related fields, with meaningful exposure to hardware, consumer electronics, or manufacturing industries; print/imaging experience a strong plus

5+ years of people leadership experience at exec level, including managing managers and/or distributed global teams

Track record of building or scaling a sustainability function, center of excellence, or comparable strategic program from the ground up

Experience partnering with or overseeing competitive intelligence, product benchmarking, or technical analysis functions

Familiarity with lifecycle assessment (LCA), carbon accounting, circular economy business models, and "as-a-service"/subscription models

Strong knowledge of the Print business preferred — e.g., hardware and supplies/consumables economics, Managed Print Services, channel and go-to-market dynamics, and the competitive landscape (Epson, Canon, Brother, and others)

Skills

Strong strategic thinking, with the ability to translate a multi-year vision into concrete, measurable workstreams and MBOs

Working knowledge of how AI/ML and automation apply to sustainability data (federated data lakes, automated LCA, predictive asset health monitoring, agentic automation)

Financial acumen — able to rigorously evaluate sustainability spend against business benefit

Excellent storytelling and executive communication skills; able to aggregate complex, cross-functional data into a single compelling narrative

Comfortable operating at both strategic (vision, board/exec narrative) and operational (MBOs, program tracking) altitude

Strong stakeholder management across Engineering, Operations, Supply Chain, Marketing, Sales, and Compliance

Bachelor's degree in Environmental Science, Engineering, Business, or related field; advanced degree (MBA, sustainability-focused graduate program) preferred
