Programme Manager: (Physical Data Disposition)

Background

GSK Consumer Healthcare (CH) is hiring a Senior Project Manager / Programme Manager to be ‘Work Stream Lead’ for one of several workstreams related to the separation of data between GSK and Consumer Healthcare. Data Disposition (DD) is a cross-functional work stream covering every function from the business. One of the work streams relates to the separation of Physical (Paper) data across the company. The Work stream Lead is a business facing role, responsible for managing the interaction between key business stakeholders, the Tech organisation and with third party vendors. The work stream lead will be responsible for ensuring close business involvement throughout the separation process, and for resolving business issues specifically relating to the separation/segregation of data between companies. The role of the DD work stream lead is to work with business data owners and facilitate decisions on which data must be separated and /or migrated.

This work stream and programme will run until mid 2022, potentially into 2023. The contract will be for an initial 6 months with extensions expected for those who can demonstrate the right capabilities.

Profile

The Data Disposition team is a business focussed function interfacing into the wider business with strong links back into the technical (IT) function(s).
