Director, Global Real-World Evidence & Health Outcomes Scientist, Oncology Full-time

Director, Global Real-World Evidence & Health Outcomes Research Scientist

For drugs to be successful, there must be robust health outcomes data to support launch optimization, reimbursement and maintain market positioning. Specifically, evidence must be generated and maintained throughout the product lifecycle as the standard of care changes, new competitors are introduced, and patents expire on existing competitors. The landscape is evolving quickly as trials demonstrating efficacy in an area of unmet need may receive expedited review, or orphan product status designation which affects both GSK and competitors launch timelines and approval requirements. More of our customers are developing sophisticated internal health outcomes capabilities and access to real world data that can be used to better understand unmet needs and real-world effectiveness of our medicines. We need to better understand how our customers define value and to effectively collaborate with them to ensure we are generating value evidence data that includes real world evidence and cost effectiveness analyses that are impactful for payers, health systems, providers, and patients.

The role of Director, Global Real-World Evidence & Health Outcomes Research Scientist is critical to achieving this ambition by supporting asset teams to ensure that each medicine GSK brings to market is supported by scientifically credible, high quality, evidence that drives competitiveness and strong evidence-based product positioning, value propositions and value-based pricing.
