About the Role:

The Product Director, End User Computing & Identity is accountable for the strategy, product direction, governance, and end-to-end lifecycle of Haleon’s workforce identity, access, endpoint, and virtual workplace capabilities. The role brings these services together as one integrated product portfolio, ensuring colleagues and partners can securely access the right applications, data, devices, and digital workspaces from the right location and at the right time.

The portfolio includes Active Directory, authentication and access services, joiner-mover-leaver enablement, privileged and conditional access integration, endpoint and mobile device management, standard device builds, application access and delivery, workplace security controls, virtual desktop and remote access services, and governance of workplace accessory policies. The role owns the product and technology lifecycle across these capabilities, from strategy and investment through design, engineering, adoption, service performance, modernisation, and retirement.

As Product Director, the role leads a multidisciplinary team of product, engineering, and service specialists and directs strategic partners. It works across Cyber Security, Enterprise Architecture, Infrastructure, Applications, HR, and business teams to deliver a coherent colleague experience, strengthen identity-led security, simplify the technology estate, and improve reliability, cost, and user experience at global scale.
