Global Resource Collaboration & Business Analyst Review

The role is probably one of the most intensive out of the Consumer Healthcare placements. You are relied on for key deliverables, managing key relationships with international suppliers, meaning the working day can vary from early starts to late finishes. It is a very rewarding role and I am coming away from this knowing I have made positive and impactful changes in the company.

You are provided with extensive training and mentorship throughout the role and you are given the opportunity to apply these skills through your everyday role and new initiatives.

I was provided with a lot of responsibility throughout my time at GSK. From owning a business critical application as the sole business owner, to being the procurement lead on a procurement initiative that had direct impacts on Haleon. There is a lot of opportunity to take on responsibility, which is how I managed to truly develop my skillset.

Everyone at GSK is more than happy to provide guidance, support and networking advice if you ask for it. GSK employees enjoy supporting IP's and become vested in your development, ensuring you get the most out of your placement.

With a hybrid WFH model, it is sometimes quite easy to disassociate from the culture of GSK, especially if your team is not based locally. However, GSK have recently been pushing their new values and culture, to promote a more cohesive and collaborative workspace as people begin returning to the office.

Thoroughly enjoyed my placement, it has been intensive, with a lot of hard work. However, I have been leading a lot of my own work in the past 6 months and if I could choose again, I would always choose this placement over any other.

Yes

Be yourself and read into the culture, values and expectations of GSK. Apply to roles that genuinely interest you, to ensure you have an enjoyable time throughout your placement.
