Scope (sample domains — not exhaustive) The domains below are illustrative examples only and are not exhaustive : Digital Workplace – example common domains (not exhaustive): Collaboration & productivity architecture (collaboration patterns, meeting/calling patterns, knowledge/communication enablement) Identity & access architecture for end‑user services (authentication patterns, access models for productivity services) Endpoint / device architecture (managed devices, configuration baselines, device lifecycle patterns) Digital workplace service experience & demand shaping (demand intake patterns, experience-driven roadmap inputs) End‑user security architecture (within guardrails) (secure configuration, data protection considerations for workplace services) Resilience and continuity patterns for workplace services (availability and operability expectations) Important: The above list is examples only and is not exhaustive . The role will cover additional digital workplace domains as required to support enterprise outcomes, standardisation, security and resilience. Role purpose To design and govern a modern, simplified, secure and resilient digital workplace foundation , enabling consistent colleague experience, productivity and collaboration at global scale, aligned to enterprise technology standards and strategic platforms. Key accountabilities The Technology Architect – Digital Workplace is accountable for: Defining and evolving digital workplace architecture standards and reference patterns , reducing fragmentation and improving consistency across colleague experiences. Ensuring digital workplace designs are secure by design and resilient by default , aligned to enterprise risk and continuity expectations. Enabling a modern digital workplace aligned to enterprise strategic platforms and the broader D&T direction for simplification and standardisation.

Digital Workplace Reference Architecture & Standards Define and maintain the target architecture and standards for the digital workplace, ensuring global consistency and simplification. Create practical reference patterns and guidance that teams can implement consistently (e.g., collaboration patterns, identity/access patterns for workplace services, endpoint patterns). 2. Modern Collaboration & Productivity Architecture Ensure the digital workplace architecture enables effective colleague collaboration and productivity across global boundaries, aligned to Haleon’s Digital Workplace environment. Align architectural choices to strategic platform direction for end‑user computing, identity management and collaboration. 3. Identity & Access Architecture for Workplace Services (in partnership with Cyber / IAM) Define architecture patterns for identity and access to workplace services, ensuring designs align to enterprise security principles and operational realities.

Ensure architectural decisions are governed through appropriate design authorities and are documented with clear trade‑offs. Align workplace architecture evolution to the Digital Workplace roadmap/demand mechanisms. 7. Cross‑Domain Collaboration Work with other architects (integration, network/hosting, data, domain architects) to ensure the digital workplace architecture fits coherently into the wider enterprise ecosystem and avoids fragmentation. 8. Standards, Playbooks & Community Contribution Create and continuously improve playbooks, templates and patterns for delivery teams and operations to apply consistently. Contribute to architecture communities of practice to uplift consistency, quality and shared learning. What good looks like Digital workplace architecture is modern, standardised and globally consistent.
