Are you a talented, driven student or graduate eager to make an impact on billions of lives? Join the Supply Chain Graduate programme at GSK and get ahead with tailored training and career development designed to help you grow.

We manufacture and supply reliable, high-quality medicines and vaccines to meet patients' needs and drive our performance.

Our network of 33 medicines and vaccines manufacturing sites delivered 1.64 billion packs of medicines and 389 million vaccine doses in 2025 to help make a positive impact on the health of millions of people. Our supply chain is not just core to our operations; it's vital to bringing our innovations to patients as quickly, efficiently and effectively as possible. Technology is transforming how we manufacture medicines and vaccines, enabling us to increase the speed, quality and scale of product supply.

We welcome people with diverse perspectives and the skills or potential to help us on our journey to make more complex products, harnessing the power of smart manufacturing technologies including robotics, digital solutions and artificial intelligence to deliver for patients.

Start your career by helping deliver medicines and vaccines to patients around the world.

On our two-year Global Supply Chain Graduate Programme, you'll apply your scientific, engineering or digital knowledge to real manufacturing challenges while developing through rotations, training and mentoring.

What You'll Experience:

• Cross-Functional Exposure : Spend time at your home site, working on cross-functional projects and rotations to deepen your expertise and knowledge of the business.
• Kaizen Assignment : A short-term breadth assignment, which could include global-focused opportunities, to expand your skills and experience beyond your home site.
• Tailored Training : Benefit from role-specific training and development, supported by a generous training budget and access to enriching resources.
• Professional & Personal Growth : Develop in a supportive environment with clear goals, feedback, training and access to reasonable adjustments.

Key Programme Features:

• Digital Data & Analytics (DDA) Objective: Each rotation has a DDA focus, reflecting GSK's commitment to innovation and continuous improvement, helping you to advance pharmaceutical manufacturing processes.
• Sustainability Element: Contribute to GSK's Net Carbon Zero mission by working on impactful projects that promote environmental sustainability.
• Mentoring & Networking: Build your professional network and enhance visibility through direct access to senior leaders and mentors who will guide and support your career development

Join GSK's GSC Graduate Programme and take the first step toward a rewarding career, where your work makes a difference to patients at the end of our supply chain.

What will you do?

Not every medicine or vaccine is made in our own factories. External Manufacturing is the team that delivers products through a global network of specialist manufacturing partners - making sure the right product is made to the right quality standard, in the right quantity, at the right time. It's a role that sits at the meeting point of quality, supply, technical and commercial: managing partner performance, safeguarding GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) compliance, planning supply, introducing new products and running the projects that keep the network resilient. You'll be coordinating across GSK teams and external partners rather than running a single production line - which means broad exposure, real accountability and a direct line of sight to patients.

What you'll learn

The end-to-end external network - how GSK delivers medicines and vaccines through contract manufacturing partners worldwide. How the functions connect - CMO (Contract Manufacturing Organisation) performance, GMP quality, supply planning, procurement, technical, regulatory and project
