About the role
The Quality, Supply Chain & R&D (QSC & R&D) Domain Architect is a senior Enterprise Architecture role within Digital & Technology (D&T), accountable for shaping and governing the end‑to‑end architecture across Quality, Supply Chain and Research & Development domains, while working in close partnership with other Domain Architects to deliver a coherent, simplified enterprise architecture.
Operating at the intersection of science, operations and technology, this role engages closely with senior leaders including Chief Quality Officer, Chief Supply Chain Officer, Head of R&D, Manufacturing and Operations leadership, and works laterally with Commercial, Corporate Functions, ERP and Technology Domain Architects to ensure architectural decisions optimise enterprise‑level outcomes, not just domain performance.
The role designs, governs and evolves architectures that support regulated, safety‑critical and globally distributed operations, ensuring technology investments align to compliance, resilience, innovation velocity and end‑to‑end value streams. A core expectation is the ability to engage, influence and align both senior business leaders and peer Domain Architects, translating complex trade‑offs into clear, enterprise‑aligned decisions.
Role purpose
To define, govern and evolve enterprise‑level architectures for Quality, Supply Chain and R&D, while actively collaborating with other Domain Architects to ensure Haleon’s technology landscape is integrated, simplified, outcome‑driven and aligned to a small number of strategic global platforms.
