ABOUT THE ROLE

• Trusted Advisor: The ability to communicate at all levels is key, as is providing confidence to the business through experience, knowledge and track record of success.  Display a passion for sharing and expanding knowledge, but also recognise where to involve other disciplines to deliver coherent enterprise-wide architectural outcomes.  Be the focal point for domain, solution and technical architects to ensure outcomes are aligned with strategy.
• Governance: Understand business drivers, strategy, value, risk and dependencies in the creation of architecture, and ensure alignment with these processes to deliver consistent outcomes.
• Delivery: Product/Project Delivery will deliver against your enterprise architecture.  Understand how these areas at Haleon will achieve the optimal set of products and services which meets the business strategy and requirements.     
• Quality, Risk & Compliance: Accountable for ensuring the architecture within the domain is compliant with internal security and risk management policies and practices, as well as external regulatory and statutory requirements e.g. GxP and that Tech stability and continuity plans are considered as part of strategy.
• People Management: Work in collaboration with the broader team to drive and deliver business value to tight timelines.  At times this may require matrix management of other architects to deliver the outcome.
• Adoption strategy & change management: in the role of change agent, support both the product teams and the business in agile approaches to solution development and adoption, building excitement, momentum, visible success stories and clear value-based versions of vision as roadmap plans come to life.
