Senior Program Manager
GSKAbout the role
The Onyx Research Data Tech organization is GSK’s Research data ecosystem which has the capability to bring together, analyze, and power
the exploration of data at scale. We partner with scientists across GSK to define and understand their challenges and develop tailored solutions
that meet their needs. The goal is to ensure scientists have the right data and insights when they need it to give them a better starting point for
and accelerate medical discovery. Ultimately, this helps us get ahead of disease in more predictive and powerful ways.
Onyx is a full-stack shop consisting of product and portfolio leadership, data engineering, infrastructure and DevOps, data / metadata / knowledge
platforms, and AI/ML and analysis platforms, all geared toward:
Building a next-generation, metadata- and automation-driven data experience for GSK’s scientists, engineers, and decision-makers,
increasing productivity and reducing time spent on “data mechanics”
Providing best-in-class AI/ML and data analysis environments to accelerate our predictive capabilities and attract top-tier talent
Aggressively engineering our data at scale, as one unified asset, to unlock the value of our unique collection of data and predictions inreal-time
Oversight of the program of work is key to successful execution of this mission. The Onyx Tech Delivery & Assurance team is accountable for
defining, building, and executing on our internal processes for agile planning and delivery across our entire portfolio. They ensure that the
leadership of the Onyx organization and key partners / stakeholders have a transparent view into our overall progress, and that issues / blockers /
misalignments are raised early before they become major problems. They partner with our product and engineering leadership to ensure our
overall ways of working, including software delivery, are best-in-class and set us up for success.
The Senior Program Manager is accountable for supporting Onyx Application Engineering with program and project management needs, ensuring
quality in standard ways of working including appropriate documentation, resource tracking and capacity planning to ensure successful
program/project delivery. Partner with Product Managers to devise and execute realistic, achievable and high‑quality plans that describe tasks
required to deliver Onyx products across multiple engineering teams. A Senior Program Manager is expected to take a poorly defined problem
with a large degree of ambiguity, work it to a well‑defined problem/specification, and execute on it at a high level.
This role will lead large‑scale, multi‑track programs that include multiple dependencies across engineering, data, cloud and external partners.
Practical experience configuring, governing and using Atlassian toolsets (Jira, Confluence, Advanced Roadmaps/Portfolio and related
automation/plugins) to support agile delivery, traceability and reporting is essential to succeed in this role. The successful candidate will have a
strong drive to deliver projects quickly without sacrificing high quality, embedding effective controls and practices that enable safe, repeatable and
auditable delivery.
Key Responsibilities include-
Define and manage overall program governance and delivery model for complex technical initiatives, including program level milestones, success criteria, decision rights, and the running of program boards and steering committees. Act as the primary escalation point for cross functional delivery issues; coordinate rapid remediation plans, conduct root cause analysis for major incidents or delivery failures, and drive corrective actions to closure.
Develop and manage project and program plans; drive execution within scope, time and budget which may dynamically evolve to reflect changes in customer needs or business constraints.
Lead large scale, multi-track programs with cross functional dependencies and external partners.
Lead Shiprooms and agile sprint ceremonies, project tracking/reporting and backlog management with product managers. Provide a single view of each project within the portfolio and their interdependencies, establishing effective OKRs, robust documentation and project value/financial tracking.
Partner with Onyx engineering leads, Quality team and product managers to validate technical designs and ensure delivery approaches are scalable, secure, cost effective and aligned to Onyx platform and cloud architecture standards.
Implement and govern program level project management discipline (tools and process) across product deliverables. Provide hands on leadership in designing, configu
