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.

The Environmental Compliance Manager serves as Haleon’s Subject Matter Expert (SME) for compliance with environmental external permits, consents, licenses, and regulations, as well as with internal Haleon environmental compliance and reporting processes, including pharmaceuticals in the environment (PiE) requirements.   The Environmental Compliance Manager is a member of the EHS technical team which is made up of EHS subject matter experts.  This team is part of the corporate EHS team and this role reports to the EHS Technical Director, who reports directly into the VP of EHS Operations, Engineering, and Sustainability.

The purpose of the role is to provide critical environmental compliance services and governance processes that enable positive business performance and effective risk management.  As the Environmental Compliance Manager, you will lead and integrate the environmental compliance risk management strategy and set standards on how to manage environmental compliance risks.  The Environmental Compliance Manager provides environmental management expertise to solve complex issues and ensure compliance for business activities, permit commitments and liabilities.  

With an understanding of the business context and external environment, the role holder will apply their knowledge to assist Business Units and sites with implementing and maintaining systems and processes that capture environmental compliance requirements and responsibilities that are fit for purpose.  To be successful, the role holder will network with peers internally and externally and work collaboratively across Haleon to gauge the need for new, or changes to, existing systems and processes whether maintained in-house or outsourced.

Continuing the theme of achieving more, while the primary focus is to enable the business to effectively manage its EHS risks, the successful candidate will be expected to collaborate with key Haleon organizations such as Sustainability, Legal, R&D Trusted Ingredients Team, and Procurement, and help support other priorities where needed.  In our high performing culture, we expect each team member to have the talent and drive to regularly deliver beyond their core mandate for the benefit of the business, our operations and the EHS team.
