Our approach to R&D

Overview

Cancer is unrelenting, but so are we. At GSK, we are committed to transforming outcomes for people with cancer through innovative science, bold ambition, and strong partnerships across the healthcare ecosystem. We focus our science where it can matter most—advancing care in cancers with high unmet need, grounded in a deep understanding of disease biology and deliberate scientific choices that connect discovery to meaningful impact in the real world.

The Role

The Director, Clinical Science – Oncology Clinical Development provides scientific leadership across defined components of study design, conduct, data review, and interpretation within an assigned clinical programme. Reporting to the Clinical Development Lead (CDL), this role operates within the asset-level clinical strategy and contributes scientific depth and rigour to the execution of the Clinical Development Plan (CDP).

The Director, Clinical Scientist partners closely with the Senior Scientist and cross-functional teams to support delivery of clinical studies, ensuring scientific quality, data integrity, and robust interpretation of clinical data. This role contributes to both study-level activities and broader programme insights, without holding accountability for asset-level strategy or overall study delivery.

This is a scientific individual contributor role requiring deep oncology clinical development expertise, strong analytical and collaboration skills, and the ability to operate effectively within a complex, matrixed environment.

Please note: This position requires an on-site office-based presence 2 to 3 days a week in the US (Waltham, MA. or Upper Providence, PA) UK (London or Stevenage); Switzerland (Zug); Poland (Warsaw) or Canada (Mississauga, ON)

In This Role You Will:

  • Provide scientific leadership across defined components of study-level activities, including protocol development, study design, data review, and interpretation, within the strategic direction set by the CDL
  • Serve as a core member of the Clinical Matrix Team (CMT), ensuring scientific alignment across study objectives, timelines, and deliverables
  • Provide scientific insight to the CDL and Senior Scientist to inform asset-level strategy, benefit–risk assessment, and programme-level decision-making
  • Ensure the scientific quality and consistency of key clinical and regulatory documents, including protocols, Investigator’s Brochures, Clinical Study Reports, and submission materials
  • Apply scientific and clinical expertise to analyse and interpret data, ensuring rigour, integrity, and relevance to the target patient population
  • Engage with internal and external stakeholders, including investigators and Key External Experts, to support study execution and scientific exchange
  • Contribute to a culture of scientific excellence, innovation, and continuous improvement within Oncology Clinical Development

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
