Director, Market Access Operations & Analytics

Business Introduction GSK remains committed to achieving bold commercial ambitions for the future.

The role owns end-to-end product and technology accountability across the full spectrum of Market Access business processes (pricing, contracting, rebate, channel, gross-to-net, government pricing, and direct commerce operations) and serves as the primary US accountability anchor for the teams, Strategic Partners, and resources that support them. The Director is the digital business partner to US Market Access Contract Operations leadership: advising, recommending, and delivering against objectives the business owns, while setting the technical direction the US business depends on.

Analytics, BI, and data-science and AI/ML model development sit with the Market Access Analytics teams, which this role supplies with reliable source data and domain understanding.
