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.
