At GSK, we have bold ambitions for patients, aiming to positively impact the health of 2.5 billion people by the end of the decade. Our R&D focuses on discovering and delivering vaccines and medicines, combining our understanding of the immune system with cutting-edge technology to transform people’s lives. We’re uniting science, technology, and talent to get ahead of disease together. Position Summary As Product Director, you are the strategic technology business partner to GSK’s Office of the Chief Medical Officer (OCMO), with single-point accountability for all technology delivery to OCMO business partners. You lead the global OCMO technology portfolio — spanning Clinical Trial Transparency, Global Publications, Research Disclosure, Grants & Donations and Managed Access — from strategic transformation through to the stable, compliant operation of in-life products. You set an outcome-focused product vision aligned to the RDM DT integrated strategy, sequence investment, own delivery and value realisation, and use data and AI responsibly to speed up outcomes for OCMO and, through them, for patients. You lead through influence across cross-functional and vendor teams, mentor junior colleagues, and role-model GSK’s values — Ambitious for patients, Accountable for impact, Do the right thing. Responsibilities This role will provide YOU the opportunity to lead key activities to progress YOUR career. These responsibilities include some of the following: Partner with OCMO leadership as the single point of accountability for all technology delivery — co-creating strategy as a technology leader, not an order-taker, and framing problems around real business needs. Own the product vision and roadmap across the OCMO portfolio, aligned to the RDM DT integrated strategy, with North Star metrics cascaded into product OKRs and paired with leading indicators. Shape and sequence investment using commercial acumen and portfolio-level prioritisation; build the case for major investments and lead funding approvals, forecasting and financial governance. Deliver strategic transformation end to end — milestones, budget, quality and benefit realisation against approved business cases — validating value early through proofs of value and using data to decide when to pivot, persevere or stop. Keep the in-life product estate stable and compliant, owning the essential-maintenance strategy and funding, and a controlled transition into operational support models. Own technology trade-offs with architects and engineers, including build-vs-buy and technical-debt decisions aligned to enterprise architecture principles, and pilot emerging technology where it creates value. Champion responsible, AI-native ways of working — from AI-enabled document redaction and anonymisation to AI-assisted discovery — validating AI outputs in context (GxP, IHD, access) and actively managing AI risk. Embed quality, risk and compliance by design — GxP, CSV, privacy, IHD, cybersecurity and AI governance — including in third-party delivery, and chair risk and compliance reviews for the OCMO product area. Manage strategic partners and vendors on outcomes, owning performance against SLAs, budget and contract compliance, and challenging partners to deliver AI-driven acceleration and cost savings across the software development lifecycle. Build trusted partnerships and lead through influence — aligning senior OCMO and RDM DT stakeholders, representing the portfolio at senior governance forums, and mentoring and developing junior Product Owners and colleagues.
