Director, Digital Product Design- HP IQ Description - Who We Are HP IQ is HP’s new AI innovation lab. Combining startup agility with HP’s global scale, we’re building intelligent technologies that redefine how the world works, creates, and collaborates. We’re assembling a diverse, world-class team—engineers, designers, researchers, and product minds—focused on creating an intelligent ecosystem across HP’s portfolio. Together, we’re developing intuitive, adaptive solutions that spark creativity, boost productivity, and make collaboration seamless. We create breakthrough solutions that make complex tasks feel effortless, teamwork more natural, and ideas more impactful—always with a human-centric mindset. By embedding AI advancements into every HP product and service, we’re expanding what’s possible for individuals, organisations, and the future of work. Join us as we reinvent work, so people everywhere can do their best work. About The Role The IQ Design team creates simple, delightful, and transformative user experiences. We're a team of product designers, design engineers, and systems thinkers exploring what computing looks like when it truly works for people. Our work spans new hardware platforms, new software experiences, and the emerging spaces between them. This is a design-led group. Design doesn't support product development here; it drives it. We have strong opinions about what makes an experience worth using, and we expect leadership that shares that conviction. The person in this role will set the bar for quality, advocate for the user when priorities compete, and make the case (again and again, if needed) that craft is not a nice-to-have. We're looking for a Director of Digital Product Design to lead this team. You'll manage and grow a group of senior designers and design engineers, setting the creative direction for how our software looks, feels, and behaves. This isn't a role where you disappear into strategy decks. You'll stay close to the work, shaping the culture of a team that prototypes fast, cares deeply about craft, and ships products that matter. The right person for this role believes that great design teams are built, not assembled. You'll have significant autonomy to define how your team works together: the rituals, the critique culture, the way ideas move from exploration to production. You care as much about creating the conditions for other people to do their best work as you do about the work itself. You know how to build trust across disciplines, protect creative space, and still hold a high bar for what ships. This is also a role for someone who understands that AI is fundamentally changing how design gets done, not just what we design but how we design it. Your team will be AI-native designers who use tools like Claude, Cursor, and Codex as part of their daily workflow. You should be fluent enough in LLMs and generative AI to have strong opinions about where these tools accelerate great work and where they undermin
