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 in real-time The Scientific Knowledge Engineering team, which sits within the Onyx Product Management organization, is responsible for the data modeling, ontology definition and management, vocabulary mapping, and other key metadata activities that ensure Onyx platforms and data assets speak scientific language. They are a core factor in delivering the GSK R&D Knowledge Graph – the semantic layer that connects all of our data and metadata systems – as well as the core metadata experiences that ultimately allow us to build products and services that both delight our customers and enable impressive automation and intelligence. This role is responsible for maximizing the value of our data assets over a lifetime to bring purpose to data by acting as translators of highly technical information from domain experts into an appropriate data model – complete with significant ontology and vocabulary -- that can be utilized to effectively structure and index the data. Specifically working with Product managers and R&D subject matter expertise to define the language (data models, ontology, standards, etc.) of science into data products by acting as the voice of “Knowledgebase” and interoperability/value of asset. This includes responsibility for the understanding and translation of computational methods back through the data chain to maximize the quality and speed of data from source to drive experimental multi-variant analysis and data driven decision-making teams to ensure that we have the right infrastructure components to power our platforms and services reliably and securely. Key responsibilities for the Senior Scientific Knowledge Engineer include: • Definition of schemas and data models of scientific information required for the creation of value adding data products. This includes accountability for the quality control and mapping specifications to be industrialized by data engineering and maintained in platform provisioned tooling. • Accountable for the quality control (through validation and verification) of mapping specifications to be industrialized by data engineering and maintained in platform provisioned tooling – e.g., models, schemas, controlled vocab. • Working with Product managers/engineers confidently convert business need into defined deliverable business requirements to enable the integration of large-scale biology data to predict, model, and stabilize therapeutically relevant protein complex and antigen conformations for drug and vaccine discovery. • Collaborate with external groups to align GSK data standards with industry/ academic ontologies ensuring that data standards are defined with usage/analytics in mind. They may also provide data source profiling and advisory consultancy to R&D outside of Onyx. • Support effective ingestion of data by GSK through understanding the entry requirements required by platform engineering teams and ensuring that the “barrier for entry” is met e.g. Scientific information has the appropriate metadata to be indexed, structured, integrated and standardized as needed. This may require articulation of GSK engineering standards and metadata information needs to third parties to ensure efficient and automate ingestion at scale. • Provides bespoke subject matter expertise for R&D data to translate deep science into data for actionable insights.

Why GSK? Uniting science, technology and talent to get ahead of disease together. GSK is a global biopharma company with a special purpose – to unite science, technology and talent to get ahead of disease together – so we can positively impact the health of billions of people and deliver stronger, more sustainable shareholder returns – as an organisation where people can thrive. We prevent and treat disease with vaccines, specialty and general medicines. We focus on the science of the immune system and the use of new platform and data technologies, investing in four core therapeutic areas (infectious diseases, HIV, respiratory/ immunology and oncology). Our success absolutely depends on our people. While getting ahead of disease together is about our ambition for patients and shareholders, it’s also about making GSK a place where people can thrive. We want GSK to be a place where people feel inspired, encouraged and challenged to be the best they can be. A place where they can be themselves – feeling welcome, valued, and included. Where they can keep growing and look after their wellbeing. So, if you share our ambition, join us at this exciting moment in our journey to get Ahead Together.
