Job Summary

The Sustainability Operations Delivery Lead is an expert-level role responsible for integrating and delivering HP’s sustainability agenda to achieve Net Zero by 2040, with a primary focus on Scope 3 decarbonization, cost optimization, external outcomes, and enterprise storytelling.

This role unifies execution across three critical domains required to deliver Net Zero:

Customer-driven decarbonization (Carbon Sync and customer commitments)
Operational decarbonization (renewable energy strategy and execution with CREWS)
Supplier decarbonization (sourcing strategy and coordinated engagement across the value chain)

The role ensures these workstreams operate as a single, coordinated system, delivering:

Measurable emissions reductions aligned to Net Zero 2040
Cost-optimized decarbonization strategies
Audit-ready, externally credible data and reporting
Compelling, differentiated narratives for HP’s sustainability leadership
