Senior Finance Director - Digital & Tech Enterprise Capabilities & S/4 HANA Program Site Name: UK - London - New Oxford Street Posted Date: Feb In today's rapidly evolving world, digital and technology play a pivotal role in driving innovation, efficiency, and competitive advantage across all industries. The transformative power of digital solutions and technological advancements has reshaped the way businesses operate, enhancing connectivity, streamlining processes, and unlocking new opportunities for growth and development. At GSK, we recognize that embracing digital transformation is essential to staying ahead in the healthcare industry. As the Senior Finance Director for the S/4 HANA and Enterprise Capabilities - Digital and Tech, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the financial and operational strategy of these critical areas during a time of rapid digital disruption. There has never been a more exciting time to see how technology can disrupt and change how GSK competes against other global pharma. This role is pivotal in partnering with the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and his leadership team to drive and deliver key enterprise-wide initiatives. These will include the multi-year global deployment of S/4 HANA, input into the integration of any business development activity, operating model or technological decisions such as cloud adoption, and providing strategic oversight across the enterprise-wide Digital & Tech functions. You will influence and direct procurement strategies for key contract negotiations, work closely with BusOps to prioritise demand and have input into many topics (e.g., operating model components). This role demands a strategic commercial thinker, coupled with a strong financial acumen. You will demonstrate executive level financial leadership and strategic thought, where you will influence beyond financial parameters, as the CTO is accountable for many global initiatives. Demonstrating the ability to operate and influence beyond the numbers is absolutely core, given the complexity of global priorities; whilst being able to communicate clearly to senior non-finance stakeholders. You will function as the independent adviser across topics, from enterprise risk, strategy, performance, and program execution. You will be expected to have a point of view, and to contribute as a peer and a trusted partner across a broad range of enterprise and commercial topics. We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Senior Finance Director to support key enterprise-wide investments that are now at critical stages for GSK. The largest of which is the S4 HANA program that encompasses our commercial, pharma manufacturing and vaccines businesses, helping to establish operating models across all areas of our group. Build high trust, high challenge relationships across key senior stakeholder groups within the business units, Digital & Tech, and Finance. Direct the creation of execution plans to ensure decision makers understand scenarios, alternative options, risk, and benefits (again going beyond the financial scope into delivery and execution - this context is critical to enable prioritisation decisions to be effective). Be the independent, enterprise voice in the room that helps pull multiple perspectives together to ensure the right decision is made. You will need to play an active leadership role, challenging and uniting multiple stakeholders. Key Responsibilities Strategic Financial Leadership: Provide comprehensive financial oversight, aligning financial strategies with business objectives to drive growth and efficiency. With brilliant articulation of the resulting business outcomes/value Input into decision making that drives critical business outcomes, such as operating model changes; investment into AI/GenAI use cases and emerging technologies. P&L management & capital allocation into key investments - including directing procurement strategies for negotiation of key contracts. Partnership with CTO and VP ERP Delivery: Collaborate closely with the Chief Technology Officer (SVP) to ensure financial strategies and decisions support the overarching technology goals and innovations.

Senior Finance Director - Digital & Tech Enterprise Capabilities & S/4 HANA Program Site Name: UK - London - New Oxford Street Posted Date: Feb In today's rapidly evolving world, digital and technology play a pivotal role in driving innovation, efficiency, and competitive advantage across all industries. The transformative power of digital solutions and technological advancements has reshaped the way businesses operate, enhancing connectivity, streamlining processes, and unlocking new opportunities for growth and development. At GSK, we recognize that embracing digital transformation is essential to staying ahead in the healthcare industry. As the Senior Finance Director for the S/4 HANA and Enterprise Capabilities - Digital and Tech, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the financial and operational strategy of these critical areas during a time of rapid digital disruption. There has never been a more exciting time to see how technology can disrupt and change how GSK competes against other global pharma. This role is pivotal in partnering with the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and his leadership team to drive and deliver key enterprise-wide initiatives. These will include the multi-year global deployment of S/4 HANA, input into the integration of any business development activity, operating model or technological decisions such as cloud adoption, and providing strategic oversight across the enterprise-wide Digital & Tech functions. You will influence and direct procurement strategies for key contract negotiations, work closely with BusOps to prioritise demand and have input into many topics (e.g., operating model components). This role demands a strategic commercial thinker, coupled with a strong financial acumen. You will demonstrate executive level financial leadership and strategic thought, where you will influence beyond financial parameters, as the CTO is accountable for many global initiatives. Demonstrating the ability to operate and influence beyond the numbers is absolutely core, given the complexity of global priorities; whilst being able to communicate clearly to senior non-finance stakeholders. You will function as the independent adviser across topics, from enterprise risk, strategy, performance, and program execution. You will be expected to have a point of view, and to contribute as a peer and a trusted partner across a broad range of enterprise and commercial topics. We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Senior Finance Director to support key enterprise-wide investments that are now at critical stages for GSK. The largest of which is the S4 HANA program that encompasses our commercial, pharma manufacturing and vaccines businesses, helping to establish operating models across all areas of our group. Build high trust, high challenge relationships across key senior stakeholder groups within the business units, Digital & Tech, and Finance. Direct the creation of execution plans to ensure decision makers understand scenarios, alternative options, risk, and benefits (again going beyond the financial scope into delivery and execution - this context is critical to enable prioritisation decisions to be effective). Be the independent, enterprise voice in the room that helps pull multiple perspectives together to ensure the right decision is made. You will need to play an active leadership role, challenging and uniting multiple stakeholders. Key Responsibilities Strategic Financial Leadership: Provide comprehensive financial oversight, aligning financial strategies with business objectives to drive growth and efficiency. With brilliant articulation of the resulting business outcomes/value Input into decision making that drives critical business outcomes, such as operating model changes; investment into AI/GenAI use cases and emerging technologies.
