What will you do?

Your apprenticeship will be the Pharma Supply Chain Tech team.

In order to ensure you get the best opportunities to develop your skills, gain valuable experience and build your network, you will undergo rotations in 2 roles across the duration of your programme. GSK will provide support and guidance (including relocation assistance if necessary) as you move between roles to ensure the transition is as smooth and beneficial for you as possible.

Your duties might include:
  • Using deep learning to create algorithms to help our manufacturing teams plan the supply flow
  • Designing, building and managing the 'big data' infrastructure for a segment of the Pharma Supply Chain Tech team
  • Using programming languages to transform raw data into insights that feed into the team's strategy
  • Learning how to analyse large-scale datasets to provide innovative solutions that answer business questions

On successful completion of the apprenticeship, you'll be qualified to take on a role as a Data Scientist, Data Engineer, Business Intelligence Specialist or another role within the Data Science field.

You'll be excited by the thought of:
  • Learning about and using the most common data analytic tools and techniques
  • Building your scientific knowledge, business sense and customer relationship skills on a tailored development programme
  • Combining computer science, modelling, statistics, analytics, and math skills - along with sound business sense - on a daily basis
  • Utilising machine learning and data engineering techniques
  • Working closely with business stakeholders to understand their goals and determine how data can be used to achieve those goals
  • Developing your data visualisation skills with the use of dashboard tools such as PowerBI and Spotfire
  • Attending a hackathon-style bootcamp at Anglia Ruskin University's Cambridge campus that simulates real-world environments and quickly upskills your capabilities
