Strategy and Operations Director

£26.5 - £31.1 per hourEstimated
Full-time
Global Product Strategy & Operations Director (Global Oncology)
Are you looking for an opportunity to make an impact in the lives of people living with cancer and establish a new standard of care treatment for GastroIntestinal Stromal Tumour (GIST) within the GSK Oncology Franchise?

Job Purpose:
Serve as the Strategy & Operations Director for GIST within Global Oncology GPS, accountable for integrating contributions across functions and geographies into a coherent strategy-to-execution system. Independently identify and prioritise business issues, frame options, and mobilise the GIST GPS Lead Team and broader matrix teams to deliver. Drive governance, strategic coherence and decision execution to ensure high-quality outputs are delivered on time and with efficiency.

Role context: The Global Oncology GPS team aims to build a leading position in GI over the next decade, with the intent to serve a broad range of needs for people living with GIST. The role operates at global level across a broad matrix of functions and markets to inform strategy, planning and delivery.

Key Responsibilities
This role owns the commercial operating cadence for the Global Brand Team and ensures cross-functional contributions connect into decision-ready, high-quality outputs delivered on time.
  • Own the asset operating model and governance in an outcome-oriented way aligned to the brand ambition: set the cadence, forums and decision rights across the GPS GIST Lead Team, functions and markets; shape the team agenda and ways of working; and ensure actions and decisions are documented, communicated and driven to closure.
  • Lead integrated brand planning: translate strategy into an aligned set of priorities, milestones, dependencies and deliverables across functions, partnering with asset leaders (incl. the MCL) to ensure launch readiness and launch excellence, geographic expansion, and robust interlocks with associated functions.
  • Enable the MCT focus with a rolling mid-term perspective: connect the dots across functions and markets, raise the bar on integrated strategic thinking and deliverables quality, and challenge teams to deliver against agreed objectives.
  • Convene the team with key markets to define and refine strategy, review progress surface barriers to execution; and, in support of the MCL, translate key messages, decisions and implications from MCT into parallel governance forums (MDT), aligning narratives, hand-offs and decision timing across independent organisations.
  • Connect GPS deliverables to enterprise processes and timelines (e.g., Brand Plan, insight generation plans, performance management/MPR and earnings call briefings): orchestrate inputs, maintain consistency of narrative and data, and ensure on-time, decision-quality submissions.
  • Coordinate the planning and execution of the SG&A budget, ensuring resource allocation is aligned to overarching strategic priorities. Collaborate with individual budget owners to ensure real-time capture of spend and alignment of priorities to enable agile re-allocation of resource where needed
  • Drive Oncology GPS priorities and peer connectivity across assets: partner with the broader Oncology operating network to coordinate GPS contributions to key forums and initiatives (e.g., Brand Summit), ensuring aligned messages, readiness of materials and follow-through of commitments.
  • Independently surface and resolve cross-functional issues: monitor signals across functions/markets, frame problems and options, and mobilise the right owners (including business partners such as Business Insights/Competitive Intelligence, Market Access, Global Medical and Clinical Development) to remove barriers and unblock delivery.
  • Continuously improve ways of working: simplify processes, clarify ownership, and introduce fit-for-purpose tools/templates to improve quality, timeliness and efficiency across the matrix.
Why You?
Education Qualification:
We are seeking professionals with the following required skills and qualifications to help us achieve our goals
  • Bachelor’s degree in business, marketing, life sciences or related field.
  • Fluent in English; working proficiency in other European languages is an advantage.
Basic Qualification:
  • Demonstrated experience leading complex work through others in a matrix (without direct authority), delivering outcomes on time and to a high quality bar.
  • Proven ability to run an operating model: establish governance, decision rights, business cadence, interlocks and disciplined follow-through.
  • Strong business acumen with experience translating strategy into integrated plans (priorities, milestones, dependencies) and driving trade-off discussions.
  • Experience connecting to enterprise rhythms and submissions (e.g., Brand Plan, performance management/MPR, leadership updates/briefings) with consistent narrative and data integrity.
  • Advanced problem framing and structured thinking; able to independently identify issues, quantify impact where possible, and present options and recommendations to senior leaders.
  • Executive-level communication and stakeholder management skills, including facilitation of senior forums and challenging constructively to raise performance.
  • Working understanding of key commercial interfaces (e.g., Business Insights/Competitive Intelligence, Market Access) and end-to-end planning linkages (including S&OP).
  • Experience operating effectively with independent partner organisations (e.g., Global Medical and Clinical Development), ensuring coherent hand-offs and aligned decision timing.
Working Arrangements:
This role can be based in either UK (GSK HQ), Switzerland (Baar) or the United States (Philadelphia)

What you will bring
You bring clear, decisive thinking and a collaborative approach. You communicate simply and respectfully. You focus on outcomes that matter to people living with cancer and their loved ones. You learn quickly and adapt to change. You build trust and help others succeed.

How to apply
If you are ready to help shape the global brand strategy and make a meaningful difference for people living with GIST, we encourage you to apply. We value inclusion and welcome applicants from all backgrounds and experiences. We look forward to hearing how your skills can help us get ahead of disease together.
