You will lead site engagement activities for respiratory clinical studies based in Poland. You will build and maintain strong relationships with clinical sites and local clinical teams to ensure smooth study delivery. You will work closely with clinical operations, quality, data and safety colleagues to address site needs and drive consistent, high-quality performance. In this role you will apply your deep knowledge of the Polish respiratory clinical research landscape — including established sites, key opinion leaders and principal investigators — to accelerate site performance and strengthen GSK's presence in Poland. We value clear communication, practical problem-solving and collaboration. This role offers visible impact, continuous learning and the chance to unite science, technology and talent to get ahead of disease together. Responsibilities: This role will give you the opportunity to lead key activities that will grow your career. Responsibilities include: Build and maintain trusting, long-term relationships with respiratory trial sites, investigators, site staff and local clinical teams across Poland. Contribute to the PEER (Partnership Engagement and Excellence in Research) Site Network — acting as the primary point of contact between GSK and strategic sites and institutions. Support site start-up activities, including feasibility assessments, site initiation and readiness checks; partner with planning and feasibility teams to optimise site placement and activation timelines. Monitor site performance against mutually agreed KPIs, proactively identify risks to quality and compliance, and work with sites to resolve operational issues quickly. Coordinate and lead site visits, engagement meetings and investigator training to strengthen site capability and support adoption of digital and centralised solutions. Capture site feedback and translate practical insights into improvements shared with study teams and global stakeholders. Provide an operational vision of the GSK respiratory portfolio and pipeline to key external stakeholders, helping sites prepare for incoming studies. Act as the local point of contact for study-related site queries, escalate issues appropriately and implement mitigation plans to ensure successful outcomes. Identify and share best practices across the LOC and region, contributing to continuous improvement and consistent ways of working. Why You? Working arrangement: This role is offered as field based in Poland. You will join a diverse, collaborative team with a clear mission: get ahead of disease together. You will have direct visibility across the Polish respiratory site network, strong internal support, and the opportunity to work at the intersection of science, digital tools and patient impact.

Strong medical or scientific background with a clear understanding of the drug development process — from early phase through to regulatory submission. Strong communication skills in Polish and English, written and verbal. Demonstrated ability to build collaborative relationships and manage multiple priorities simultaneously. Preferred Qualifications If you have the following characteristics, it would be a plus: Knowledge of the Polish respiratory clinical trial landscape — including familiarity with key investigator sites, experienced respiratory physicians (in asthma, COPD, severe asthma or respiratory oncology), patient pathways and the competitive site environment in Poland. Established professional network among Polish pulmonologists, allergologists or respiratory investigators, enabling faster site engagement and relationship-building from day one. Experience working in a pharmaceutical, biotech or contract research organization (CRO) setting, ideally within a respiratory or specialty therapeutic area. Proficient knowledge of the drug development process, including clinical study design, protocol requirements and the regulatory landscape in Poland.
