Senior OU Tech Partner

Welcome to Haleon. We’re a purpose-driven, world-class consumer company putting everyday health in the hands of millions. In just three years since our launch, we’ve grown, evolved and are now entering an exciting new chapter – one filled with bold ambitions and enormous opportunity.

Our trusted portfolio of brands – including Sensodyne®, Panadol®, Advil®, Voltaren®, Theraflu®, Otrivin®, and Centrum® – lead in resilient and growing categories. What sets us apart is our unique blend of deep human understanding and trusted science.

Now it’s time to fully realise the full potential of our business and our people. We do this through our Win as One strategy. It puts our purpose – to deliver better everyday health with humanity – at the heart of everything we do. It unites us, inspires us, and challenges us to be better every day, driven by our agile, performance-focused culture.

Background and Context

Digital & Technology sits at the heart of Haleon’s ambition to Win as One. We are Haleon’s digital backbone – how we accelerate impact, unlock new value, and build a future‑ready organisation. Digital isn’t simply part of our business; it is how we operate, grow, and deliver everyday health at scale.

The Digital & Technology function plays a critical role as a strategic partner to the business, turning insights into impact and ideas into innovation. From secure, resilient operations and modern digital foundations, to hyper‑personalised customer and consumer experiences, digital is embedded across every part of Haleon – shaping how we innovate, supply consumer demand, go to market, and run our internal operations.

Our focus is clear: to secure the business, run resilient and compliant operations, and transform Haleon into a digital organisation that is wired for excellence. This is enabled by sustained investment in a scalable, resilient technology foundation and the adoption of digital solutions that empower our people, elevate performance, and enable the 4–6% organic revenue growth and productivity savings underpinning Win as One.

Digital only delivers when people are at the centre. Building skills, confidence, and modern ways of working is essential to realising value from technology. Together, we are reshaping the backbone of Haleon to become a best‑in‑class consumer health company – bold, resilient, performance‑focused, and fit for the future.

Role Overview:

This role acts as a trusted delivery partner to OU business teams, ensuring defined digital priorities are translated into reliable, scalable solutions aligned to global platforms and standards. The focus is on execution excellence, adoption, and operational performance, rather than enterprise or regional strategy ownership.

The role requires hands‑on experience delivering digital capabilities across sales, marketing, eCommerce, and digital platforms, alongside operational technologies such as infrastructure and security. Working closely with global product and platform teams, the Senior OU Tech Partner ensures local needs are met while remaining aligned to Haleon’s global roadmaps, governance, and ways of working.

Success in this role is driven by delivery quality, strong stakeholder relationships, and effective operation within a complex, matrixed global environment.

• Act as the primary day‑to‑day technology contact for assigned domains or initiatives.
• Build strong working relationships with business stakeholders to enable adoption and value realisation.
  
  
  

Matrix & Global Collaboration

• Partner with global product, engineering, and platform teams to deliver MEA OU requirements in line with global standards.
• Contribute delivery feedback and local insights to support continuous improvement of global platforms and services.
  
  
  

Governance, Risk & Compliance

• Ensure delivery activities follow secure‑by‑design principles and established architecture standards.
• Apply global IT governance, risk, and compliance frameworks within assigned scope.
• Support compliance with local regulatory, data privacy, and security requirements.
  
  
  

Operations & Financial Management

• Monitor operational performance of owned digital and technology services and support issue resolution with global teams.
• Support budget tracking, vendor coordination, and benefits tracking for assigned initiatives.
  
  
  

Team & Capability Contribution

• Lead or coordinate small delivery teams or workstreams as required.
• Support capability development and adoption of modern delivery practices within the team.
• Contribute to a collaborative, delivery‑focused culture across the OU tech partner community.
  
  
  

Qualifications & Experience:

• 4–6+ years’ experience in digital or technology delivery roles, ideally within commercial or enterprise environments.
• Experience delivering digital capabilities across sales, marketing, eCommerce, CRM, or digital experience platforms.
• Experience working in a matrixed, global organisation, partnering with central product and platform teams.
• Exposure to technology operations, vendors, or delivery partners.
• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail.
• Clear communicator, able to engage both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
