Posted Date: Jul 24 2024

For more than 140 years, GSK has pioneered novel research methods and technologies to help protect people from infectious diseases. Our vaccines portfolio of more than 20 marketed vaccines is the broadest in the industry, helping to protect people throughout their lives. We believe prevention, at scale and for impact, is the best health investment for society, patients, and the economy. Vaccine-preventable diseases are a significant burden on society and healthcare systems; approximately $1 trillion in productivity is lost each year due to preventable conditions. This includes the impact from the 330,000 older adults hospitalized globally each year with RSV, the approximately 1 in 3 people who will develop shingles in their lifetime and the 3-11% of people infected with seasonal influenza each year. Our Vaccines portfolio will reach over 1 billion people globally this decade. Each year, around 40% of children globally receive a GSK vaccine and GSK is well-placed to lead in the growing adult immunization market.

GSK's US vaccines business is organized into local ecosystem teams, designed to support the unique needs of the customer base in the given geography. In a local ecosystem commercial model, there are multiple customer-facing roles, each with unique customers/call points, but all dependent upon a high degree of collaboration.

The Vaccines Account Executive, or VAE, is pivotal in most ecosystems, owning the B2B customer relationship in mid to large-sized group provider accounts, including large primary care provider groups, multi-disciplinary medical groups, independent hospitals, and public health providers (FQHC's, local health departments, etc.). The role of the VAE is to engage C/D level clinical & non-clinical stakeholders within larger provider organizations to understand unique customer needs/priorities and to deliver a customized value proposition. The VAE should possess strong customer engagement skills, experience with healthcare contracting, knowledge of the target customer organization and decision-making process.
