Position Summary

The Sr Director, Global Monitoring & Site Engagement (GMASE), US Oncology Head is accountable for accelerating and expanding US Oncology trial delivery — increasing the percentage of US patients reached across all Oncology disease areas and development phases. This role is the face of GMASE for US Oncology: a visible, credible leader who wins the trust of investigators, sites, and patient communities through both data-driven execution and personal presence.

Beyond traditional trial delivery, this role champions GSK's shift to continuous evidence generation — embedding real-time data capture, adaptive monitoring, and evidence-generation approaches into how US Oncology trials are designed and run, so that insight is generated continuously across the patient journey rather than only at fixed milestones.

Operating within the GMASE and DevOps model, this person translates R&D and therapeutic strategy into predictable, high-quality delivery, while reimagining how and where GSK reaches patients — including non-traditional and community-based settings — to meet patients where they are.

Key Responsibilities:

•  Accountable for accelerating delivery and increasing the percentage of US patients enrolled in Oncology studies across all development phases.

• Champion continuous evidence generation — embedding real-time data capture, and evidence approaches throughout the trial lifecycle to keep pace with the changing oncology landscape.

• Bring a dynamic, forward-thinking approach to non-traditional site strategies, including community-based and decentralized settings, to reach patients where they are.

• Serve as the face of US Oncology — representing GSK at conferences and with external stakeholders, building trust through expertise, presence, and leadership as well as data.

• Provide senior leadership and people management for US Oncology Clinical Operations teams.

• Partner closely with Clinical, Medical, Regulatory, and other Development Operations functions to drive integrated, cross-functional delivery.

• Translate GSK R&D and GMASE strategy into executable, innovative country-level plans aligned to portfolio needs.

• Provide clinical monitoring oversight, including studies executed by strategic partners and CROs.

• Maintain deep understanding of the US oncology healthcare environment, regulatory landscape, and community/patient access dynamics.

• Own operational and financial accountability for US Oncology clinical operations budgets.

• Drive continuous improvement, sharing insights across countries and regions to inform global planning.
