Director, Global Health Outcomes, ViiV Healthcare

You will shape integrated health economics and outcomes research (HEOR) and value evidence strategies spanning real-world evidence (RWE), clinical outcome assessments (COAs), evidence synthesis and economic modelling.

Working closely with research and development, medical affairs, market access, commercial and external stakeholders, you will build fit-for-purpose evidence plans that answer the questions decision-makers care about most.

This role combines scientific leadership with genuine strategic influence. You will set a forward-looking clinical outcome assessment (COA) and patient-centred outcomes (PCO) strategy, embedding differentiated endpoints that demonstrate meaningful value to patients, clinicians, payers and healthcare systems.

Partnering with asset teams, whether shaping the evidence package for innovative medicines in development or strengthening the value story for established medicines in a competitive market, you will ensure every ViiV medicine is supported by scientifically credible, high-quality evidence that meets the requirements of regulators, health technology assessment (HTA) bodies and payers.

Your work will directly inform product positioning, value propositions and value-based pricing, and help secure patient access, appropriate use and commercial success.

Success in this role requires strong scientific judgement and the ability to lead and influence in a complex matrix environment.
