Product Director, DevOps & CMO Performance

GSK is a global biopharma company with a purpose to unite science, technology and talent to get ahead of disease together. Within R&D Digital & Tech, the AI-led Development Operations domain — part of Development & CMO Tech — exists to turn development and study data into decisions, improving how programmes are planned, executed and monitored, and embedding AI-led decision-making into development operations at scale.

Mission Control is GSK's flagship product in this space. It brings together AI-driven analytics, statistical models and operational workflows to give development teams real-time insight into study and portfolio performance. Its capabilities span site selection optimisation, enrolment forecasting and modelling, risk detection and mitigation, and performance monitoring across studies and countries. Mission Control is delivered on a bi-weekly release cadence against a modular, microservices-based architecture, integrated with GSK's enterprise data hubs and development platforms.

We are seeking an experienced Senior Product Owner / Product Director to take end-to-end ownership of the technology delivery of Mission Control. This is a role for someone who wants to own a product rather than administer a backlog — setting technical direction, building and leading AI applications rather than merely consuming them, holding a multi-vendor delivery ecosystem to account, and working shoulder to shoulder with the Business Rep in DevOps Platform & Innovation to turn development operations problems into working, compliant, high-quality software.

This is a fast-moving, ultra-Agile environment. Direction is set from evidence rather than from annual plans, scope is reshaped mid-flight as learning emerges, and the pace of AI innovation means the roadmap is genuinely provisional. We are looking for someone who finds that energising rather than uncomfortable.
