About the role

GSK's R&D strategy calls for accelerating R&D and executing targeted business development to get key assets to patients faster. As Senior Director, R&D Integration & Separation Data Lead, you make that strategy executable at the data layer.

Responsibilities

  • Own the integration & separation data model.

  • Serve as single point of accountability for the end-to-end R&D data lifecycle across every BD&L-sourced and BD&L-exited dataset, owning technical standards for separation/integration architecture — carve-out data models, TSA data continuity, and system migration and decommissioning.

  • Define the requirements and governance for R&D data disposition. Define priorities and standards for data integration and separation as the strategic counterpart to R&D Tech's delivery, ensuring every migration is grounded in agreed business intent.

  • Lead cross-functional coordination across deals. Act as the central connection point between R&D functions, the Data Disposition Deal Lead, and R&D Tech — cascading requirements and timelines, reducing duplication, and ensuring consistent delivery across concurrent deals.

  • Embed governance into the deal lifecycle. Build and enforce data governance principles, standards, and timelines into every stage of BD&L activity so data meets GSK's compliance, quality, and lineage standards before migration, integration, or divestiture.

  • Own the governance hub for BD&L data. Operate the hub within DVO's federated model, setting standards, method, and decision rights for this domain — a peer to DVO's other topic-hubs — while triaging issues, resolving ownership gaps, and prioritizing highest-impact initiatives.

  • Partner on delivery, risk, and stakeholder management. Maintain a close operating partnership with the R&D Tech Lead on system access and migration (e.g., Non-Clin, VQD, Meteor, Reg Vault, Veeva TMF); engage senior stakeholders to manage risk and act as escalation point when data readiness threatens deal timelines; represent R&D data considerations with external counterparties, data room providers, and regulators during due diligence.

  • Codify the playbook and report on value. Capture method, templates, and lessons from each deal into a standing governance framework, and report clear measures of data readiness and reduced complexity to give R&D and CMO leadership visibility into the pipeline.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in data management, Life Sciences, Business, Computer Science, or related field (or equivalent experience).

  • Experience leading cross-functional initiatives with diverse stakeholders across functions and levels.

  • Experience supporting M&A, licensing, divestitures, or business separations — including data separation and TSA processes.

  • Experience leading data-focused workstreams within M&A, licensing, or divestiture transactions, preferably in a regulated industry.

  • Knowledge of the R&D data lifecycle, clinical development processes, and data governance practices.

  • Experience with data governance, metadata management, data lineage, and interoperability standards.

  • Knowledge of data privacy, GxP, and regulatory requirements for R&D data (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA), including data access/disclosure during due diligence.

Qualifications

  • Experience owning data separation/integration architecture standards — carve-out models, TSA data continuity, virtual data room provisioning.

  • Experience in federated or hub-and-spoke governance operating models, including owning a topic-level hub.

  • Experience partnering with technology leads to translate business requirements into system migration delivery.

  • Experience engaging senior stakeholders, Deal Leads, and external parties (counterparties, regulators, antitrust bodies) to manage risk and accelerate milestones.

  • Familiarity with R&D data platforms (e.g., Non-Clin, VQD, Meteor, Reg Vault, Veeva TMF).
