Your Opportunity At GSK, the Chief Patient Officer (CPO) organization is one of three strategic pillars of the company – the independent medical and scientific partner to R&D and Commercial. Medical’s vision is to embed the patient voice and external insights into product strategy and evidence generation, shape medical practice through trusted, non-promotional scientific engagement, and deliver measurable health impact for patients at scale. This is your chance to build the enterprise AI Context Layer for GSK Medical – the trusted, connected foundation that turns data and content from across the medical planning framework into measurable value. As Associate Director Product Owner, Medical Data Products, you will own the data products and context layer spanning Data Generation, Scientific Communications, Medical Information, Publications and Channel Engagement, including Medical Science Liaison (MSL) interactions, non-personal channels, advisory boards and other external engagement activities. You will join the Medical Cx and Data team – responsible for product management across Medical Cx and measurement, medical analytics and medical content – as a strategic business leader enabled by technology: accountable for outcomes, not just delivery, and the go-to leader and trusted advisor for medical data and AI context.

Your work will build the trusted, connected and compliant data foundation that powers analytics, GenAI and agentic solutions. We are looking for a senior data product leader with 8 to 10+ years of experience designing and delivering enterprise cloud data platforms, with expertise in data modelling, lakehouse architecture, data integration and governance. You have experience transforming varied source data into canonical (standardized) data models and building governed, reusable data products, with Azure/Databricks experience and a practical understanding of data enrichment and AI/machine learning (ML) data architectures.

What You Will Do

Set an outcome-focused vision Own the strategy, roadmap and value-based backlog for the Medical AI Context Layer and the data generation, content and channel data products that feed it – co-created with the business, sequenced across the medical planning framework and aligned to GSK’s strategic priorities. Build the enterprise Medical AI Context Layer Define and deliver a governed semantic layer – shared medical data ontology, business glossary, knowledge graph and metadata – that links medical objectives, tactics, evidence, content, engagement and outcomes across the medical planning framework, so analytics, GenAI and agentic solutions draw on one trusted, consistent source of medical context. Drive business value Drive adoption of medical data products and the AI Context Layer to reduce time-to-insight for Global Medical Teams (GMTs) and Local Operating Companies (LOCs), measure the ROI of content and engagement, and increase reuse of trusted context across GenAI and agentic use cases. Champion the customer Act as the voice of GMTs and LOCs through continuous user research, turning their pain points into an actionable, user-centric backlog. Define, validate and own success Set success metrics up front, prove value through proofs of value (POVs) before scaling, and track key performance indicators (KPIs) such as adoption, data quality and user satisfaction. Evangelize and lead change Lead change management, demos and training to drive enterprise-wide adoption and data literacy. Own architecture and canonical models Oversee data ingestion end-to-end and the target canonical/conformed data model connecting engagement data to GSK Medical data – balancing technical debt against feature delivery. Establish governance by design Oversee the data lake governance and framework – access models, schemas, classification, lineage, metadata, quality and storage standards aligned to CODE Orange – partnering with platform, security and data-owner teams and building GxP (regulated good-practice quality standards) and data protection in from the start. Hold partners to outcomes Align platforms, engineering teams and vendors around shared outcomes, connecting data across functions and managing dependencies through to completion.
