We manufacture and supply reliable, high-quality medicines and vaccines to meet patients' needs and drive our performance. Our network of 37 medicines and vaccines manufacturing sites delivered 1.7 billion packs of medicines and 409 million vaccine doses in 2024 to help make a positive impact on the health of millions of people. Our supply chain is not just core to our operations; it's vital to bringing our innovations to patients as quickly, efficiently and effectively as possible. Technology is transforming how we manufacture medicines and vaccines, enabling us to increase the speed, quality and scale of product supply. We need the very best minds and capability to help us on our journey to make more complex products, harnessing the power of smart manufacturing technologies including robotics, digital solutions and artificial intelligence to deliver for patients.


Position Summary

As the Lead, you will be the single point of accountability for defining and delivering, in collaboration with the Tech department, digital, data analytics and Generative AI (GenAI) capabilities that unlock value across capital project delivery (design, construction, commissioning, handover). You will translate enterprise strategy into pragmatic project-level solutions, drive safe adoption, mentor a delivery team, and ensure handover to operations.


Responsibilities

  • Own the programme's digital, data and GenAI plan and goals; pick and prioritise the highest-value projects and report progress to sponsors.
  • Advise GCP leaders and governance groups on opportunities, risks and value; run cross-functional working groups to agree requirements, approve projects and resolve issues.
  • Set and enforce rules for who owns and manages data, how it's organised and protected, and who can make decisions about project and GenAI data and outputs.
  • Turn business needs into clear, testable requirements for analytics and GenAI work; design how these tools will connect to BIM, scheduling, cost, documents and sensors, and check vendor designs meet our standards.
  • Lead projects from prototype to production, managing internal teams and vendors; negotiate supplier terms in collaboration with procurement that protect our data and IP.
  • Oversee GenAI models and manage datasets, model updates, deployment, monitoring and cost, and keep prompt libraries so outputs are reproducible.
  • Apply strictly GenAI governance and ethics: track data/source provenance, consent/IP rules, retention, acceptable use, human review points and audit trails; coordinate with Legal, InfoSec and regulators.
  • Deliver analytics and GenAI decision support (dashboards, assistants) integrated into project checkpoints (design reviews, QA/QC, commissioning, handover).
  • Drive change, training and adoption: build GenAI skills, role-based workflows and a centre of practice; provide validated prompt guides and measure adoption and value.
  • In collaboration with Tech, manage GenAI and data risks: prevent data leaks, reduce hallucinations, protect OT, address bias and model drift; use defensive controls like private models, encryption and access controls and keep traceability for AI‑influenced decisions.
  • Lead a small cross‑functional delivery team, create reusable standards and workflows, capture lessons learned, and hand over all digital assets, models, prompt libraries and support arrangements to operations.

Basic Qualifications

  • Extensive years in capital project delivery or project controls, with proven experience leading digital/data/analytics initiatives in EPC, pharma, heavy industry or infrastructure.
  • Delivered end to end analytics/BI solutions and integrated engineering/project systems (BIM/digital twin, Primavera/MS Project, cost systems, EDMS, CMMS, IoT/OT).
  • Practical experience with GenAI/LLMs (prompting, fine tuning or model selection), MLOps (model registry, versioning, monitoring, retraining) and embedding models into workflows.
  • Managed multidisciplinary teams and vendors; negotiated contracts with data/IP protections.
  • Strong stakeholder engagement with PMO/Project Directors and governance bodies.
  • Knowledge of data governance, security and regulated environment compliance (GxP awareness desirable).

Preferred Qualifications

  • Pharma/regulated industry capital project experience.
  • Delivered GenAI use cases (document summarisation/extraction, conversational assistants, automated change request drafting).
  • Built digital twin use cases for sequencing, clash detection or commissioning simulation.
  • Familiarity with cloud (AWS/GCP/Azure), Databricks/Spark, BI tools (Power BI/Tableau) and MLOps frameworks (MLflow/Kubeflow).

Work Location

This role can be based in the United Kingdom (GSK HQ, London) or Philadelphia, USA, Wavre, Belgium and offers a hybrid working model, combining on‑site and remote work.

Data Science Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Thinking about switching into data science in your 30s, 40s or 50s? You’re far from alone. Across the UK, businesses are investing in data science talent to turn data into insight, support better decisions and unlock competitive advantage. But with all the hype about machine learning, Python, AI and data unicorns, it can be hard to separate real opportunities from noise. This article gives you a practical, UK-focused reality check on data science careers for mid-life career switchers — what roles really exist, what skills employers really hire for, how long retraining typically takes, what UK recruiters actually look for and how to craft a compelling career pivot story. Whether you come from finance, marketing, operations, research, project management or another field entirely, there are meaningful pathways into data science — and age itself is not the barrier many people fear.

How to Write a Data Science Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Data science plays a critical role in how organisations across the UK make decisions, build products and gain competitive advantage. From forecasting and personalisation to risk modelling and experimentation, data scientists help translate data into insight and action. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right data science candidates. Job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the mix of analytical skill, business understanding and communication ability the role actually requires. At the same time, experienced data scientists skip over adverts that feel vague, inflated or misaligned with real data science work. In most cases, the issue is not a lack of talent — it is the quality and clarity of the job advert. Data scientists are analytical, sceptical of hype and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and immature data practices. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and serious intent. This guide explains how to write a data science job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and positions your organisation as a strong data employer.

Maths for Data Science Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are applying for data science jobs in the UK, the maths can feel like a moving target. Job descriptions say “strong statistical knowledge” or “solid ML fundamentals” but they rarely tell you which topics you will actually use day to day. Here’s the truth: most UK data science roles do not require advanced pure maths. What they do require is confidence with a tight set of practical topics that come up repeatedly in modelling, experimentation, forecasting, evaluation, stakeholder comms & decision-making. This guide focuses on the only maths most data scientists keep using: Statistics for decision making (confidence intervals, hypothesis tests, power, uncertainty) Probability for real-world data (base rates, noise, sampling, Bayesian intuition) Linear algebra essentials (vectors, matrices, projections, PCA intuition) Calculus & gradients (enough to understand optimisation & backprop) Optimisation & model evaluation (loss functions, cross-validation, metrics, thresholds) You’ll also get a 6-week plan, portfolio projects & a resources section you can follow without getting pulled into unnecessary theory.
