GlaxoSmithKline is a world leading research-based pharmaceutical company
that combines both individual talent and technical resources to create a
platform for the delivery for strong growth in a rapidly changing
healthcare market. Our mission is to improve the quality of human life by
enabling people to do more, feel better and live longer.
The Respiratory Centre for Excellence in Drug Discovery (CEDDs) is the GSK
business units accountable for the early phase respiratory portfolio.
The Respiratory CEDD has strategic and operational responsibility to GSK
for its disease area portfolios from Lead Optimisation through Proof of
(Clinical) Concept (PoC). That is, they bring well-defined accountability
and entrepreneurial drive to manage the progression of compounds in the
"middle" of the pipeline. While drawing from the broader resources of the
organisation, the CEDDs bridge the conventional gap between discovery and
development and bring together medicinal chemists, biologists and
physicians who concentrate on specific disease groupings.
Discovery Biometrics Respiratory (DB-Resp) comprises of statisticians and
programmers dedicated to the support for the Respiratory CEDD. DB-Resp
provides both strategic support for the respiratory CEDD (by being aligned
with CEDD objectives, dedicated to CEDD work, and developing
methodological solutions to long-standing clinical trial design and
analysis issues) as well as tactical support (we are accountable for
delivery of all respiratory CEDD statistical and programming support, from
Candidate Selection to Proof of Confidence). Within DB-Resp there are two
dedicated groups (comprising of approximately 7-8
statistician/programmers). A position to manage one of these groups has
recently become available.
Role Purpose:
- Ensure high quality and effective statistical contributions to all
Respiratory CEDD studies, as well as some full development clinical
pharmacology work for relevant MDC.
- Ensure statistically sound approaches, analysis, reporting, and
interpretation of studies above, consistent with GSK standards, regulatory
requirements and the strategic intent of the Respiratory CEDD, sufficient
to support timely and safe progression of assets to the full development
portfolio.
- Enable rapid and reliable progression of clinical programs to either
filing or termination through timely delivery of the above.
Key Responsibilities:
- Direct and supervise the work and professional development of
approximately 7-8 statisticians/programmers responsible for CEDD work and
for full development clinical pharmacology.
- Build and maintain effective strategic working relationships with staff
and other clinical and statistical managers to meet business needs.
- Ensure adequate resources are available to meet agreed timelines and
regulatory requirements.
- May interact independently with regulatory agencies on issues relevant
to support areas.
- Contribute to budget management.
- Effectively enhance the contribution of statistical thinking to a key
therapeutic area within Drug Discovery.
- Drive and embed the application of statistical innovation to help drive
the respiratory CEDD portfolio.
The position will be based as follows:
- Initially at either Greenford or Stevenage; however you will be required
to travel to both sites to support and manage staff at each of the sites
- Some time next year, it is expected that the position will be moved to
Stockley Park (as the Greenford teams are expected to move there) or
Stevenage. You will be also required to travel to both these sites to
support and manage staff at each of the sites.
Overall, the percentage of travel between sites will be higher if you are
Stevenage based.
