Job Description

At Gilead our pursuit of a healthier world for all people has yielded a cure for hepatitis C, revolutionary improvements in HIV treatment and prevention as well as advancements in therapies for viral and inflammatory diseases and certain cancers.

We set and achieve bold ambitions in our fight against the world's most devastating diseases, united in our commitment to confronting the largest public health challenges of our day and improving the lives of patients for generations to come.

This role requires regular on-site presence in Foster City, CA and is not eligible for remote or hybrid work arrangements. Applicants must currently reside in the area or be willing to relocate to Foster City prior to their start date. Local candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.

Oncology is a field defined by extraordinary scientific progress, rapidly evolving standards of care, intense competition and increasingly complex choices about where and how to create the greatest impact for patients. In that environment, having more data is not enough. Competitive advantage comes from asking the right questions, connecting evidence others see separately, anticipating what may happen next, and translating insight into better decisions.

The Executive Director, Oncology Integrated Insights & Analytics will have the opportunity to shape how Gilead does exactly that. As a senior leader within Global Decision Sciences & Insights, this individual will bring together market research, analytics, forecasting and broader sources of evidence to develop an integrated perspective on the Oncology business and portfolio. The opportunity is both strategic and organizational: help Oncology leaders make consequential decisions with greater clarity and confidence while building an Insights & Analytics team and capability positioned for the future.

Reporting to the Vice President of Global Decision Sciences & Insights, the Executive Director will serve as a senior thought partner and advisor across the global Oncology organization and will be a member of the Global Oncology Leadership team.

The Executive Director will help frame the business questions that matter most, connect insights across Global Decision Sciences & Insights, and translate a complex body of evidence into clear implications for strategy and action across current products and the early- and late-stage Oncology pipeline. The role will partner across Marketing, Value & Access, product strategy teams, Finance, affiliate and country analytics teams, Portfolio Analytics, Supply Chain, Medical, and Data Science.

The leader will have responsibility for a team of approximately 8 to 10 colleagues spanning Market Research, Analytics and Forecasting.

Success will be measured not simply by the quality of the analysis produced, but by the extent to which the organization turns evidence into better, faster and more forward-looking decisions.
