What’s more, we’re achieving it in an environment that we’re co-creating and a culture that’s uniquely ours. Care to join us. It isn’t a question.

Are you looking for an opportunity to drive the external relations and communications strategy? If so, this is the opportunity for you.

The key focus of the position is to support the Haleon leadership and strategic business priorities in Southeast Asia and Taiwan (SEAT) Business Unit (BU), ensuring long-term reputation building. The Corporate Affairs (CA) Manager will, in close collaboration with the Southeast Asia and Taiwan Corporate Affairs Lead, drive the government and communications strategy and oversee communications function, including public relations, issues and media management, internal communications, with an emphasis on the execution of Haleon’s government affairs engagements, ensuring alignment with the BU and global CA strategic priorities.

This role requires careful and thoughtful management of the business’ reputation through ownership of all external stakeholders – from government officials to industry regulators, key trade associations and advocacy groups and the media.

This role will provide YOU the opportunity to lead key activities to progress YOUR career. These responsibilities include some of the following:

Develop and execute an integrated communications and government affairs strategy, including a comprehensive and integrated approach to managing issues related to brands, ingredients, legislative and regulatory matters and sustainability, that supports the Haleon’s business strategy, objectives and priorities and protects Haleon’s reputation. Work closely with key stakeholders across the business – including the in-market leadership teams, and the BU and global Corporate Affairs teams – to help shape and communicate strategy and build trust among customers, media, employees, government stakeholders and industry regulators. Work with regulatory/medical affairs and legal teams and develop strong partnerships with government officials and industry groups to lobby for favorable laws and regulations surrounding advertising claims and others that can help advance priorities and support business growth. Identify relevant legislative and regulatory opportunities, in close collaboration with R&D and Regulatory Affairs teams, that will help the business to understand and anticipate external developments and prepare for them. Identify key stakeholders who are critical allies and partners in shaping and delivering Haleon’s strategy and reputation across our key categories. Collaborate with BU and global teams to develop and deliver strategic media relations and communications plans that support Haleon’s business priorities and core brands to enhance and protect the reputation of Haleon. Develop and execute a consistent internal communications strategy that drives employee engagement amidst a fast-changing environment.  Lead and take a hands-on approach when necessary to organize face-to-face communications with employees such as Town Hall initiatives and prepare presentations, speeches, and other content to maximize internal and employee engagement.

10-15 years’ experience in a Corporate/Government Affairs role. Experience of internal and external communications strategy planning and delivery with a strong and demonstrable track record of success, including external agency management.

Excellent English language skills. Excellent negotiation, facilitation and influencing skills. Due to the fast-paced and complex geo-political environment around the world these days, this role requires strong capability in managing changing business environment and ambiguity.
