Job description

Team Introduction

You will join R&D Digital & Technology, working at the intersection of Medical Writing, Regulatory, Safety, CMC, Clinical and Publications. This team designs and delivers digital products that transform how scientific and regulatory content is authored, reviewed and submitted, helping our R&D organisation work more efficiently, compliantly and collaboratively.

Position Summary

As Senior Product Owner for Content Generation & Collaboration, you will lead 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. You will translate complex user needs into clear requirements and a prioritised backlog, co‑create an outcome‑focused roadmap, and own the value case behind your products. You will represent technology for the content generation and collaboration workstream in a major strategic programme, lead end‑to‑end delivery of your roadmap, mentor other Product Owners and role‑model GSK’s values.

Key Responsibilities

• Co-create the product vision and roadmap for content generation and collaboration with business stakeholders, owning objectives, key results and the value case, and continuously testing ideas before committing capacity.
• Bring strong domain understanding of the evidence and regulatory content lifecycle, framing problems through jobs‑to‑be‑done and challenging requirements that do not map to real user needs.
• Drive structured content capabilities, including modular authoring, component management and reuse, to improve the speed, quality and consistency of evidence preparation and authoring journeys.
• Lead as a technology partner, shaping trade‑offs with architects and engineers, owning key technical decisions, and managing technical dependencies, non‑functional requirements and technology risks alongside functional delivery.
• Work AI‑first by using AI to accelerate discovery, drafting and scenario analysis for backlog decisions, coaching the team on responsible prompting, and judging where AI‑assisted authoring truly adds value versus risk.
• Own end‑to‑end delivery of your product, including milestones, budget, roadmap and quality, validating value early through proofs of value and pilots before scaling, and ensuring technical readiness across development, test/validation and production.
• Build quality and compliance into delivery, safeguarding data integrity (ALCOA+), embedding GxP, privacy and AI‑governance requirements throughout change, and running risk assessments before major releases.
• Partner, influence and mentor across Medical Writing, Regulatory, Safety, CMC, Clinical and Publications, negotiating scope constructively, using storytelling and data to land difficult messages, and coaching junior Product Owners in an inclusive, psychologically safe environment.
• Manage strategic technology suppliers and delivery partners to ensure deliverables, technical quality, documentation, knowledge transfer and commitments support the roadmap and GSK standards.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in a scientific, technical or related discipline (e.g. life sciences, computer science, engineering).
• Significant experience in digital product management or product ownership in progressively senior roles, with the ability to independently own the vision, roadmap and prioritisation for a complex workstream.
• Hands‑on product management and backlog ownership, including writing clear, testable user stories and acceptance criteria, running refinement with engineering, and prioritising a backlog using structured methods (e.g. RICE, WSJF, MoSCoW).
• Experience in pharmaceutical R&D, clinical development or regulatory affairs, with direct exposure to scientific, regulatory or medical content authoring.
• Proven track record of owning end‑to‑end delivery for digital products, including value validation through pilots or proofs of value before scale‑up.
• Strong understanding of enterprise application architecture, integrations/APIs, MCP, cloud environments, identity and access, data flows and non‑functional requirements, enabling informed product decisions with engineering and architecture teams.
• Working knowledge of GxP / validated systems, with sound data‑integrity, quality and compliance judgement.
• Experience partnering with architects and engineers on technical trade‑offs, with sufficient technical fluency to own product‑level decisions and sense‑check estimates.
• Demonstrated ability to work in global, matrixed organisations and influence cross‑functional teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands‑on experience with structured content and component management, modular document design, component reuse or publications‑management systems (e.g. Veeva Vault, Certara CoAuthor, Arbortext).
• Experience with AI‑assisted authoring or NLP‑based solutions in regulated or scientific content domains.
• Familiarity with AI / ML solutions in regulated environments and associated validation and governance requirements.
• Experience leading a technology workstream within a large transformation programme in a complex enterprise environment.
• Familiarity with eCTD, structured content standards or the wider submission data landscape (e.g. IDMP).
