- Explore and support the integration of digital and technology-enabled solutions to enhance patient access, navigation and support services.
- Apply agile and design-thinking approaches to develop, test and scale patient-centered solutions in complex healthcare environments.
- Provide insights on healthcare system dynamics, stakeholder behaviors and evolving access models across the Gulf.
- Patient Support Programs and Affordability
- Lead the design, implementation and optimization of patient support programs across the Gulf, in accordance with GSK policies, local laws, regulations and industry codes.
- Develop and manage compliant affordability solutions (for example, co-pay or financial support mechanisms where permitted) in line with internal standards and external requirements.
- Ensure programs address key patient barriers, including affordability, reimbursement complexity, adherence and persistence.
- Monitor program performance, ensuring appropriate documentation and governance, and drive continuous improvement in patient experience and operational effectiveness.
- Generate insights from programs to inform broader access strategies and healthcare system improvements.
- Stakeholder Engagement and Partnerships
- Build strong, trust-based relationships with key stakeholders across healthcare ecosystems, including healthcare professionals, institutions, patient organizations and other relevant partners, in line with GSK engagement principles.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with market access, medical, commercial, compliance, finance and other relevant teams to ensure alignment of patient and system solutions.
- Identify and support appropriate partnerships that enhance patient support, improve access pathways and contribute to better health outcomes.
- Support cross-functional teams in adopting new approaches and ways of working to improve delivery of patient and system solutions.
- Act as a credible representative in engagements related to patient experience and healthcare system solutions, maintaining high standards of integrity, transparency and non-promotional conduct.
- Governance, Compliance and Risk Management
- Ensure all patient engagement, patient support and healthcare solution activities are fully compliant with local regulations, industry codes and GSK policies, including those related to non-promotional engagement, pharmacovigilance and privacy.
- Maintain oversight of vendor governance, pharmacovigilance requirements and audit readiness for all relevant programs and activities.
- Proactively identify and mitigate risks related to patient safety, compliance and company reputation.
- Ensure appropriate governance, documentation, contracts and approval processes for all initiatives and partnerships, following applicable internal procedures and review requirements.
