## Description

Join a team-oriented and fast-paced environment that requires integrity, problem-solving, and agility as Director, Portfolio Planning & Resourcing. You will lead forward-looking R&D capacity and resource planning across the Oncology pipeline, translating milestones and portfolio scenarios into a clear view of demand and resourcing, highlighting bottlenecks.

You will also lead the Quarterly Business Review process for GPPM oncology, orchestrate the annual scorecard cycle through collaboration with the Portfolio Leads, and build and maintain an integrated view of planning, capacity, and resources across the full Oncology pipeline, enabling leadership to make confident data-driven decisions about where to invest, where to flex, and where to make trade-offs.
