ViiV Healthcare Advocacy & Congress Industrial Placement 2022

ViiV Healthcare is a specialist company established by GlaxoSmithKline and Pfizer in 2009, with the addition of Shionogi in 2012 after working together on the development of several drugs. We are focused solely on the research, development and commercialisation of medicines to treat HIV. Our aim is to take a deeper and broader interest in HIV/AIDS than any company has done before and take a unique approach to deliver new and effective HIV medicines as well as supporting communities affected by HIV.

About the Role 

The ViiV Healthcare Advocacy & Congress Industrial Placement role provides a fantastic opportunity to join a highly patient-centric and high performing European Marketing team and make a real difference to the lives of people living with HIV through our innovative pipeline of medicines. There are two elements to this role, both of which are crucial to build brand awareness and loyalty during the early launch phase:

• Helping to build knowledge and confidence for HCPs to appropriately prescribe our recently approved HIV treatments by providing the platform for physicians to come together to network, share their experiences and learn from others who already have early positive experiences of prescribing the brand. This can be achieved through sharing our latest data and enabling discussions between expert physicians, via both face to- face and virtual platforms. 
• Supporting ViiV to meet our objectives for the HIV Glasgow taking place from October 23rd-26th in London, whether face-to-face or virtual.
