About the Role
At Haleon, our ambition is to offer progressive and market competitive Employee Benefits, including Pensions, so that we can be industry leading in health & wellbeing, enabling employees to thrive.
As a new, standalone organisation, Haleon has inherited a rich and complex set of legacy retirement plans across approximately 45 countries. This Pension Manager role is an exciting opportunity to be part of our Global Pension transformation, and to support the Global Head of Pensions to shape how Haleon governs, oversees and monitors these arrangements.
In this role you will be the subject matter expert for our UK and Irish pension plans. You will be responsible for the day-to-day management of our pension policies and processes as well as managing complex pension issues or risks. You will partner closely with our Benefits, Global Reward Delivery and People Solutions teams, as well as HR and Reward Business Partners.
You will also participate in Global Pensions transformation projects and work alongside Haleon’s Reward Business Partners on pension-related projects across Europe, Middle East and Africa and APAC.
The role will also work closely with the Executive Reward and Global Mobility teams to support the Executive and International Assignee populations.
