Job Purpose
Serve as the accountable owner of one or more GxP-regulated business systems throughout their entire lifecycle — from initial validation through adoption, evolution, and decommission — ensuring each system is fit for purpose,ms compliant, and delivering measurable value to GSK.
Translate business direction and user needs into clear roadmap priorities, balancing change demand against capacity and making explicit, data-informed trade-offs in partnership with business and technology stakeholders.
Operate within SLS's evolving management system, contributing to a consistent, portfolio-wide view of system health, adoption, compliance posture, and business value using standard KPIs, OKRs, and scorecard frameworks.
Champion an assurance-first approach to validation, reducing calendar time and effort while maintaining inspection readiness, and act as an active contributor to the BSO community of practice.
Key Responsibilities
Strategic System Ownership: Maintain a deep understanding of the business processes your system supports. Map system roadmap priorities to business outcomes and proactively identify when a system should be invested in, fixed, consolidated, or decommissioned.
Release & Change Management: Own end-to-end release readiness: coordinate change control, manage validation evidence packaging, run stabilisation reviews post-release, and track release quality metrics. Minimise business disruption through predictable, well-communicated releases.
Validation & Compliance: Execute and maintain validation activities in accordance with DTMS and applicable regulatory standards (21 CFR Part 11, EU GMP Annex 11). Ensure PCRs, CAPAs, and access reviews are completed on time. Operate an assurance-first validation approach to reduce effort and calendar time without compromising compliance posture.
Adoption & User Experience: Drive measurable user adoption: develop training materials, coordinate change communications, monitor adoption curves, and act on System Usability Scale (SUS) data and user feedback to continuously improve the user experience.
Support & Continuous Improvement: Monitor and act on support signals — help desk data, repeat issues, Tier 1 resolution rates — converting them into roadmap improvements and stakeholder communications. Target measurable reductions in support friction over time.
Portfolio Scorecard & Reporting: Own your system's scorecard in Flight Deck: maintain current lifecycle phase, health RAG, top risks, and decisions needed. Contribute to the monthly ISS LT performance pack and quarterly system landscape reviews with decision-ready insight.
Stakeholder Engagement & Governance: Serve as the primary point of contact for your assigned business system(s). Build and maintain effective relationships with business owners, GPOs, QA, IT, and vendor partners. Represent system needs and priorities in governance forums.
Resource & Capacity Visibility: Track effort by system and work type to support ISS's capacity model. Proactively flag capacity constraints and contribute to quarterly prioritisation and trade-off discussions.
BSO Community & Mentorship: Participate actively in the BSO community of practice. Share best practices, contribute to playbook development, and support the onboarding and development of less experienced BSOs.
