Job Purpose -
Lead a portfolio of EM programmes from GSK's Global Capability Centre in Bengaluru, starting with Smart Manufacturing & AI. Use AI agents for reporting, minutes and RAID upkeep so the role spends its time on planning, delivery, risk judgement and benefits.

- Manage delivery partners and vendors (e.g. system integrators) against statements of work, milestones and spend.
- Act as owner of the programme-management agents: define prompts and rules, check output quality, log failures and drive improvements with the smart manufacturing & AI team.
- Set and maintain the EM programme-management standard (templates, cadence, RAID taxonomy) so DS, DP, SM and P&OS programmes run one way.
- Line-manage EM GCC colleagues (Grades 7–9) in Workday and support their onboarding, performance and development \[subject to GCC HR confirmation\].
- Support EM's GCC presence: onboarding plans, knowledge-transfer plans and readiness reviews for work moving to the hub.
