DACH Transformation Deployment Lead (m/w/d) - Fokus QSC

Hello. We’re Haleon—a new world-leading consumer health company, shaped by all who join us. Together, we’re improving everyday health for billions of people by growing and innovating our global portfolio of category-leading brands—including Voltaren, Sensodyne, Dr. Best, VitaSprint, Fenistil, Otriven, and Centrum—through a unique combination of deep human understanding and trusted science. What’s more, we’re achieving this in a company that we control, in an environment we’re co-creating, and a culture that’s uniquely ours. This is an exciting time to join us and help shape the future.

As our DACH Transformation Deployment Lead (m/w/d), you deal with high levels of complexity due to overlapping transformation programs, evolving timelines, and limited local resources. It requires proactive identification of risks, creative problem-solving, and the ability to manage ambiguity. Challenges include aligning stakeholders with competing priorities and resolving data and system integration issues without disrupting business continuity.

This is a fixed-term position for 9 months, with a strong focus on hands-on and executional support to deliver key transformation programs. The role also coordinates cross-functional efforts, manages interdependencies, and ensures business continuity during change. Your Role at Haleon:

• Drive the execution of global and local transformation initiatives across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

• Lead the integrated transformation roadmap, aligning with global programs and tailoring to local business needs.

• Provide hands-on support for transformation projects including analysis, planning, and coordination.

• Act as a transformation ambassador by mobilizing cross-functional teams without formal authority.

• Identify and manage interdependencies, resource constraints, and transformation risks.

• Ensure consistent communication across stakeholders to drive alignment and timely decisions.

• Support change management and capability building via training and best practice sharing.

• Foster collaboration across commercial, supply chain, finance, and enabling functions to ensure business continuity during change.

What We Expect From You:

• At least 10 years of relevant professional experience in transformation, project and program management or commercial/supply chain roles.

• Experience in FMCG or healthcare sectors, ideally with exposure to the DACH market.

• Deep understanding of commercial operations, supply chain, and finance functions.

• Proven ability to work in matrixed organizations and influence without formal authority.

• Strong problem-solving skills and comfort with ambiguity and evolving timelines.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.

• Fluency in English and German; knowledge of agile and change management methodologies is a plus.

• A master’s degree (e.g., MBA) or equivalent is preferred.
