Act as the primary external interface with partners / suppliers who are delivering services globally and across pharmaceutical development and clinical supply, with a scope spanning non-regulated through to GxP services to support the R&D portfolio and ultimate commercialization of assets derived from internal GSK discovery pipeline or through business development deals.
- Lead the CMC matrix of individuals who interact with high priority external partners including MDS staff who are operationally contracting work; subject matter experts necessary to visit, monitor and assess the work proposed or produced such as MDS technical leads, Regulatory, Quality, EHS; Procurement to build incentivisation into contractual obligations and Third Party Resourcing to report into the framework.
- Build effective with high priority external partners doing pharmaceutical development and clinical manufacturing at both executive and operational levels. Influence such external leaders to develop capabilities that meet GSK's future needs as well as addressing current expectations.

The leadership of these activities will be end to end to ensure that all aspects of business as usual activities are covered including contracting, business oversight, data transfer, and any other operational requirements needed. Its not intended that this individual will perform all (or any) of these activities nor would they necessarily 'own' the supplier after integration, rather they would provide the leadership to ensure all related support functions complete their portions of the activity and a smooth transition into GSK's standard ways of working is achieved.

- Make visible and influence strategically with a range of senior decision makers to ensure GSK makes the right choices on external suppliers and that the capabilities of high priority external partners are well understood. This includes liaising with senior project owners (e.g. CMC Leaders), portfolio owners, platform owners in MDS, and assurers (GSC, MSAT), as well as appropriate engagement at governance.
- Objectively assess the performance of high priority external partners and feed into wider frameworks for vendor selection, formal assessments of their capability, risk escalation and partnership governance.
- Develop and lead implementation of a pharmaceutical development and clinical supply relationship strategy with short, medium and long-term deliverables. Simplify the current interactions with external suppliers and coordinate interactions across multiple business units who need to interact with or assure the activities in the suppliers' facilities both before and during work.
- Continually survey the external landscape to strengthen knowledge of supplier capabilities and ability to meet GSK expectations. Map and benchmark current suppliers using a variety of lenses including book of business, strength of relationship, unique technical capabilities, technical strength, quality management system, safety record and capabilities versus GSK. Use this insight to influence supplier simplification and supplier selection.

- Experience working with third parties and developing effective relationships
- Experience of non-regulated, GLP and GMP processes necessary to develop a medicine ready for commercial release and supply to the clinic.
