Independent Director — NRC and Stakeholders Relationship Committee Chair — Pharmaceutical Portfolio, Market Integrity and Patient Trust

Scope of the seat

The Independent Director will bring operating and stakeholder judgement to a Board governing pharmaceutical research, manufacturing, regulated-market access and commercial portfolios. As Chair of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and Stakeholders Relationship Committee, with membership of the Audit Committee, the appointee must be able to connect leadership, conduct, product responsibility and financial consequence.

The role is designed for an experienced pharmaceutical, healthcare, regulatory, commercial or enterprise leader. It does not require the Director to second-guess scientific or medical specialists. It does require the ability to test whether expert conclusions are supported, whether disagreements are escalated, and whether incentives permit inconvenient evidence to reach the Board.

Leadership succession where judgement is non-delegable





The NRC will assess the succession and performance of the chief executive and leaders responsible for research, medical affairs, quality, manufacturing, regulatory affairs, pharmacovigilance, supply, commercial markets and finance. These positions cannot be evaluated on functional targets alone; failure at their boundaries is often where the largest exposure accumulates.

The Chair will insist that succession candidates have been tested in situations involving product quality, regulator engagement, constrained supply, portfolio discontinuation, adverse evidence or a difficult market decision. High performance in secure conditions does not establish readiness for enterprise leadership.

Critical-person risk will be examined across scientific, technical and regulatory roles as well as the executive committee. The organisation should know where knowledge resides in one individual, where a release or submission depends on a fragile team, and where external adviser
