About the role

The Corporate Finance team responsibilities can be split broadly into two categories, externally and internally focused. Externally, the team manages Haleon’s debt capital structure, funding strategy, and liquidity risk; as well as responsibility for managing relationships with external stakeholders including banks, credit rating agencies and debt investors. Internally the team has responsibility for group forecasting, management and external reporting related to net debt, leverage, net finance costs and other Treasury metrics. This also includes responsibility for coordinating materials for Haleon’s Treasury Risk Committee, chaired by the CFO.

The Corporate Finance Manager has operational (day-to-day) responsibility for most of the activities mentioned above but should have the technical and written skills to contribute to the development of future financing strategies and the preparation of Board committee documents, ultimately supporting the Corporate Finance Director in making informed and faster decisions in the execution of Treasury strategy.

Collaborate with external counsel, coordinating banks, Co-Sec, IR, Tax and Finance teams.
• Management reporting: Support the CF Director in preparing CFO board reports and external HY/FY results presentations, and coordinate materials for each Treasury Risk Committee (TRC) meeting. Collaborate with FP&A, Treasury teams and IR.
• Credit rating agencies (CRA): Develop and maintain an accurate internal credit rating model; prepare internal briefing materials related to project financing or sensitivity scenario analysis; and manage day-to-day engagement with CRAs, including provision of routine information.

• Share buybacks (SBB): Support the CF Director in execution of the SBB strategy by project managing buybacks, including progress reporting to senior leadership and developing insights to refine and improve future buybacks. Collaborate with Co-Sec, external counsel and the SBB broker bank.
• Debt investor relations: Track execution of the debt investor engagement strategy, including preparing meeting materials, drafting responses to inbound information requests and developing insights to refine and improve the future engagement strategy. Collaborate with IR.
