Senior Director, Global Health Outcomes, ViiV Healthcare in London

We are a specialist pharmaceutical company 100% dedicated to developing medicines to treat and prevent HIV. Born out of a partnership between GSK and Pfizer in 2009, with Shionogi joining in 2012, our ambition is to end the HIV epidemic.

As the pioneers in HIV innovation, we constantly look to push the boundaries of science to develop medicines that can change lives and give people more choice. Beyond our medicines, we are proud of our deep connection with the HIV community and work with partners to advance research and development, address HIV-related stigma, increase access to our medicines and provide funding and support to local community organisations to support their efforts in the HIV response.

You will lead a global health outcomes function within ViiV Healthcare at GSK. You will design and deliver robust evidence generation to support development, access, reimbursement and lifecycle management of HIV treatment and prevention medicines. You will work across research and development, medical affairs, market access, commercial and external stakeholders to shape fit-for-purpose evidence plans. We value clear scientific judgement, leadership that builds capability, and collaborative styles that bring people together. This role requires strong scientific judgement, strategic leadership, and the ability to operate in a complex matrix environment to ensure ViiV’s medicines are supported by credible, decision-relevant evidence that optimizes patient access and value demonstration. You will also shape a forward-looking Clinical Outcomes Assessment (COA) and Patient-Centered Outcomes (PCO) portfolio strategy, ensuring differentiated endpoints are embedded early in development to demonstrate meaningful patient, clinical, and healthcare system value.

• Drive the identification and integration of differentiated endpoints to strengthen value propositions across assets.
• Guide the development and use of fit-for-purpose instruments and endpoint frameworks, supporting consistency and scalability across the HIV portfolio.
• Partner with patient outcomes, clinical development, medical affairs and market access to translate strategy into study design, endpoints and evidence plans.
• Engage external stakeholders (payers, HTA bodies, guideline groups and academic partners) to ensure evidence meets decision-maker needs.
• Oversee quality, compliance, budget and delivery of health outcomes and real-world evidence studies across the product lifecycle.

Basic Qualifications:

• Advanced degree (Master’s or equivalent) in health outcomes, health economics, epidemiology, pharmacy, public health, or a related discipline.
• Significant pharmaceutical industry experience in health outcomes, real-world evidence, or value evidence roles.
• Line management experience.
• Demonstrated experience supporting reimbursement or HTA submissions across multiple markets.
• Proven ability leading cross-functional teams and working in complex matrix organisations.
• Strong scientific judgement in study design, patient-reported outcomes, and evidence synthesis.
• Excellent communication and influencing skills, including ability to translate data into strategic insights and business impact.

Preferred Qualifications:

• PhD or other advanced research degree in a relevant discipline.
• Direct experience with global launches and above-country evidence strategy.
• Strong expertise in economic modelling and budget-impact analysis.
