Job Description:

As a Security Principal, you'll play a critical role in protecting the integrity of HPE's labs and non-production environments-collectively known as Local Risk Environments (LREs)-which are intentionally segmented from the corporate network to enable innovation while effectively managing risk.

You'll be responsible for ensuring these environments are designed, operated, and decommissioned in alignment with our security policies, risk frameworks, and regulatory obligations.

This role strikes a balance between strategic leadership, strong risk management and business enablement-helping teams move fast without compromising security.

How You'll Make Your Mark:

Reporting directly to the Senior Director of Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC), you'll be a core member of the GRC leadership team with meaningful influence over enterprise security strategy, architecture decisions, and tooling investments.

With full ownership of the security program, you'll lead its vision, execution, and ongoing evolution-including budget planning, control selection, and cross-functional alignment.

This role offers a unique opportunity to shape how risk is governed in dynamic, high-velocity environments that power our innovation.

Collaboration is key-this role serves as a critical link between business units, IT, and security, ensuring that governance practices are practical, scalable, and support operational success.

Your subject matter expertise will be vital across projects involving new or evolving environments ensuring "secure-by-design" principles are embedded from the start.

Finally, you'll continuously improve governance processes, evolving them to meet shifting business needs, regulatory changes, and emerging threats.
