Are you energized by working in a fast-paced environment and manage multiple tasks effectively? Are you detailed oriented and enjoy promoting ways to improve processes and operational efficiency? If so, this Heme Program Manager opportunity could be an exciting opportunity to consider.

As a Heme Program Manager for the Momelotinib asset, you will be accountable for all Momelotinib medical affairs operational activities, which include but are not limited to driving development of the global medical affairs plans, supporting the Global Medical Affairs Leads, facilitating and managing the Global Medical Affairs Team meetings, managing external experts and congress engagements, managing the Momelotinib budget, and supporting the development of our performance metrics.

Medical Affairs is a critical function to ensure that our medicines reach the appropriate patients, together with R&D and the commercial organization. GSK has committed to building a new oncology business, and now has multiple assets and products in four broad areas: Hematology, Breast & Gynaecological Oncology, Solid Tumors, and Cell and Gene Therapy.

To drive innovation, maximize patient value and provide strong, visible medical leadership in each of these areas Global Medical Disease Area Heads are in place, accountable for leading the formulation and execution of disease level medical strategy within Oncology (including life cycle management) across the four areas.

In serving as a program manager for the TA Medical Affairs Teams in developing plans for and supporting the execution of core medical affairs processes, the role would benefit from extensive knowledge of the matrix operating environment and all the systems/processes required to drive successful performance.

This includes (but is not necessarily limited to) driving implementation of medical affairs and external engagement plans, budget planning and monitoring, performance metrics design and reporting, and providing additional operational support to the GMAT where appropriate.

The role enables the GMAT to focus on Scientific strategy and content by serving as the process driver and navigator of the environment in which our teams are operating.
