Who are we looking for?

Finding the next generation of commercial leaders for our business is no small task, since there's no one kind of person who succeeds at GSK. The international scope and inherent diversity of our business means that all types of people find they can flourish and grow within the company.

However, to help you determine whether you'll enjoy the challenges involved in joining our programme, the following section should give you an idea of the sort of background you'll need to have.

Qualifications & Experience

Along with an undergraduate degree, you will have built a strong commercial accumen, ideally within a pharmaceutical, biotech or consulting organisation. You will also have an MBA.

Demonstrating strong commercial acumen, you'll have a track record of delivering significant value to a business and of strategic decision-making. You'll also have strong English language skills, both written and spoken.

Since this is an international role that will see you working where you're most needed, you'll also have the flexibility, mobility and adaptability to add value in more than one market. This could be anywhere from Africa to Australia, Chile to China, Europe to US.

Attitude

Are you someone who's comfortable and confident putting your views across in a wide variety of situations? Can you handle processes, decisions and conflicts with clarity and calmness? These, plus the ability to be yourself in a corporate culture and adapt quickly to regional differences will identify you as someone who would make the most of this remarkable opportunity. Most importantly, are you looking to develop the commercial experience you have already gained and take on stretching assignments to develop your global leadership potential?
