Job purpose:

For drugs to be successful, there must be robust health outcomes data to support launch optimization, reimbursement and maintain market position. Specifically, evidence must be maintained throughout the product lifecycle as 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 and 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 analysis that is impactful for payers, health systems, providers, and patients.

The role of the Associate Director, Modelling is essential to ensuring that each medicine GSK brings to market is supported by scientifically credible, high quality, evidence aligned with the needs of decision makers responsible for granting access / reimbursement, whilst providing leadership in a particular therapy area. The Associate Director, Modelling works in collaboration with colleagues across data generation, Medical, Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and other parts of GSK to apply specialized expertise in modelling to support a medicine and/or disease area regarding the development of HTA reimbursement strategy, core economic models (cost effectiveness and budget-impact) and robust methods for generating appropriate model data inputs.
