About the Role

HP’s Personal Systems business is at the forefront of innovation, delivering cutting-edge PCs and devices that empower customers worldwide. We are seeking a Scenario Planning Lead to join our Supply Planning Analytics team in Tlaquepaque, Jalisco, Mexico. In this pivotal role, you will design and execute advanced scenario models that balance cost, inventory, service levels, and timing—such as lead times, consumption pacing, and qualification delays. Your work will directly support HP’s global factory network by identifying over/underutilization risks, optimizing resource efficiency, and providing actionable insights to drive agile, data-driven supply chain decisions in our technology-driven ecosystem. Key to success will be leading what-if simulations for component shortages, demand shifts, strategic buys, and supplier transitions, while quantifying trade-offs to inform both tactical operations and long-term strategy. You will build intuitive Power BI dashboards and Excel tools to model factory utilization, ROI for strategic inventory, and time-sensitive planning factors like FIFO consumption and delay impacts. Collaborating cross-functionally with Category, Procurement, Finance, and Planning teams, you will present compelling insights during S&OP and executive reviews, harmonizing best practices across HP Personal Systems, Print, and S&G to foster continuous improvement. At HP Inc., our customer-centric culture thrives on innovation and collaboration, operating in over 170 countries to create technologies that reshape how the world works.
