Overview

  • Are you interested in making a Researchwide impact? In the role of Research Scientific Engagement Lead, you will connect the ambition of our organization to our people. _


We are recruiting an internal engagement lead to support the connection of our strategy to clear impact through effective communication and engagement across the Research organization in support of the Research Leadership Team (RLT).

The individual will provide engagement support for the SVP, work closely with the VP of Research Business Performance and Externalization (RBPX) and RLT to drive clear and consistent messages outlining our scientific, portfolio, and performance ambitions to the Research organisation and other GSK stakeholders by utilising the best tactics and channels available to them, and communicating in a way that bridges between the leaders' personal styles and what best serves the audiences.


The person in this role will be a key member of the Research Chief of Staff office which will enable Research Strategy, Engagement, staff motivation and air traffic control.

The Research organisation has the obligation and the privilege to discover innovative medicines, rapidly and efficiently. Our aim is to be ambitious for patients, accelerating delivery of our pipeline assets for those in need. To foster awareness internal to GSK, this role will be positioned to make sure we have a clear and resounding message on Research portfolio progression

What we are looking for


The individual will be comfortable working with senior stakeholders and able to foster a trusted relationship with the SVP of Research, his direct reports and the wider RLT, bringing creative ideas to the table but also appropriately providing challenging ideas and options to better leadership engagement.

In addition, there is a broad network of communicators in different programmes/projects (e.g. Research Productivity, Atlas) and functions within Research (e.g. Site Engagement Leads) as well as at the corporate level with the Communications and Government Affairs (CGA) organisation (e.g. R&D Culture & Engagement, Pipeline & Product), all of whom are integral to successfully delivery of an impactful Research engagement strategy.


Given the large, complex and matrixed organisation, the individual will need to effectively prioritise what they spend their time on, and focus engagement efforts on the most important areas that align to business objectives.

Any additional support beyond the core focus would be considered on an as needed basis and with alignment from the SVP of Research, and in discussion/partnership with the VP of Research Business Performance and Externalization.


Support required:

  • Support the Research Leadership Team (RLT) in the design and delivery of the Research Communication & Engagement plan aligned with Research objectives and strategy in a simple compelling story (starting with Why) that resonates and connects to the wider R&D strategy and narrative.
