Our approach to R&D

As Product Director, you are accountable for the digital products that enable structured, collaborative and increasingly automated authoring of evidence and regulatory content — across clinical, non-clinical, CMC, safety, regulatory (including labelling) and publications. Sitting within R&D Digital & Technology, you translate the needs of Medical Writing, Regulatory, Safety, CMC, Clinical and Publications stakeholders into a coherent, AI-enabled product vision.

You set the strategy and roadmap, lead and develop your product portfolio, and act as technical SME for the programmes that deliver these capabilities. You influence at VP/SVP level and role-model GSK’s values — Ambitious for patients, Accountable for impact, Do the right thing.

This role will provide YOU the opportunity to lead key activities to progress YOUR career. These responsibilities include some of the following:

• Own the product vision and roadmap for content generation and collaboration, aligned to the Evidence Presentation & Regulatory strategy and translated into clear value hypotheses, OKRs and prioritised backlogs.
• Bring deep domain expertise across the evidence and regulatory content lifecycle — clinical, non-clinical, CMC, safety, regulatory (including labelling) and publications — using that insight to make sharper product decisions.
• Drive structured content capabilities — tackling bottlenecks and opportunities in structured content management, modular authoring and component reuse that improve the quality, consistency and speed of evidence preparation.
• Shape scalable architecture with architects and engineers on technical trade-offs, designing scalable, reusable services and bringing emerging technology into the portfolio where it creates value.
• Champion an AI-first approach — making AI, NLP and analytics default tools for AI-assisted authoring, automation and decision support, with robust validation of AI outputs and a sound grasp of the submission data landscape.
• Own delivery end-to-end — sequencing the backlog and release plan to validate authoring hypotheses and scale proven features across asset teams; contracting vendors on outcomes and holding teams to account for quality, pace and measurable value.
• Embed quality, risk and compliance — GxP, privacy and AI governance — from the outset, ensuring transparent, auditable platforms and good hygiene in core systems of record.
• Build trusted partnerships and influence at VP/SVP level across Medical Writing, Regulatory, Safety, CMC, Clinical and Publications; coach and grow a high-performing, multi-disciplinary team, role-modelling GSK’s values and an inclusive, psychologically safe culture.

Basic Qualifications

We are seeking professionals with the following required skills and qualifications to help us achieve our goals:

• Master’s degree or equivalent experience in a scientific, technical or quantitative discipline (e.g. life sciences, computer science, engineering, mathematics).
• ~10+ years leading technology-focused transformation and ~5+ years of progressive experience in digital product management and leadership.
• Significant life-sciences experience with direct exposure to regulatory, clinical development or related functions.
• Track record of owning and scaling enterprise digital products, operating with sizeable budgets and vendor portfolios.
• Proven people-leadership experience, including line-managing and building high-performing product teams.
• Experience delivering AI, data and analytics-enabled products on modern data platforms and cloud technologies.
• Experience operating in a GxP / validated-systems context, with strong data integrity, quality and compliance judgement.

Preferred Qualifications

If you have the following characteristics, it would be a plus:

• Deep experience with structured content management, modular document design or publications-management systems.
• Hands-on experience with AI-assisted authoring or NLP-based solutions, particularly in regulated or scientific content domains.
• Familiarity with GxP and validation expectations for systems used in regulatory submissions and evidence generation.
• Demonstrated executive influence with VP/SVP-level stakeholders to drive complex technology decisions and adoption.
• Experience scaling Agile ways of working across global, multi-disciplinary teams and managing strategic technology vendor partnerships.
