Senior Medical Director, Transformation & evidence shaping, ViiV

Purpose

Provide senior global medical leadership for Transformation, driving the medical strategy, evidence and partnerships needed to enable appropriate, equitable and sustainable adoption of long-acting HIV treatments and prevention across the delivery ecosystem.

Lead a small, focused global team and work exceptionally closely with Commercial, as well as Market Access, Policy, Scientific Communications and local operating companies, to translate the clinical value of long-acting options into real-world uptake, service-delivery readiness and system change. Maintain a close, continuous relationship with the long-acting treatment and prevention pipeline so that market-transformation insight actively shapes future evidence, and pipeline progress shapes transformation priorities.

Uphold fair, balanced and compliant scientific communication in line with ABPI/PMCPA and applicable codes, and embed community-based participatory approaches so that the perspectives of people affected by HIV, advocacy organisations and service-delivery partners are central to the evidence and transformation agenda.

Responsibilities

• Set and own the global medical strategy, defining the evidence, education and partnership priorities that unlock adoption of long-acting treatment and prevention.

• Work very closely with Commercial, Market Access and Policy to align medical, value and access strategy, and to convert clinical differentiation into credible, compliant real-world value and service-delivery narratives.

• Maintain a close, structured relationship with the treatment and prevention pipeline, ensuring insight informs evidence generation and that pipeline milestones shape transformation planning.

• Lead and develop a small, high-performing global team, setting objectives, resourcing priorities and building capability in implementation science and market-shaping.

• Shape the evidence agenda, including real-world evidence, health outcomes, service-delivery and implementation research, and health-system readiness, in partnership with Health Outcomes, HEOR and R&D.

• Design and deliver medical education and scientific exchange focused on implementation, service delivery, patient selection and long-acting care pathways, across meetings, symposia and digital platforms.

• Lead and apply community-based participatory research approaches, partnering with communities, advocacy groups and service-delivery partners to understand acceptability, barriers, stigma and care experience, and to translate these into evidence and transformation initiatives.

• Provide senior scientific expertise to external experts, guideline bodies, payers, health systems and community stakeholders on long-acting delivery models and market readiness.

• Ensure the scientific quality and compliance of all medical and promotional activity, proactively identifying and mitigating ABPI/PMCPA risk and acting as senior reviewer/signatory where appropriate.

• Represent ViiV in senior internal governance and external forums shaping the future of long-acting HIV care, advising leadership on system, policy and market-transformation implications.
