Global Health Outcomes Associate Review

My main responsibility was managing an external vendor to lead systematic literature reviews. I was an author, overseeing the process and ensuring that our work was reproducible. I was also delegated deep dives into literature for my team becoming an expert in regional HIV epidemics. I facilitated meetings within the team as well as with cross-functional teams.

I had a lot of autonomy on projects I was leading and I was ultimately responsible for instructing an external vendor. I was also delegated a lot of responsibility in the wider team for events and conferences. However I felt that on the projects I was leading on there were not high stakes.

I did not know anything about Health Economics before commencing my placement. My organisation funded a qualification from LSE. I have also gained competencies in evidence generation and research as well as soft skills such as leadership, communication, management and business acumen.

My team were were very experienced and very senior so had a huge amount of expertise. This was beneficial because they could answer any question I had and sign post me to excellent networking opportunities. However this also meant that my team could be difficult to get hold of and did not have a lot of time to manage me.

ViiV is a very supportive and friendly organisation to work for. I only have positive things to say about their culture.

I really enjoyed working in ViiV and the opportunities that gave me. I had a fantastic experience in my team too - the only downside was that I was not qualified to do more things! Overall, I had a wonderful experience and it has given me clear direction in my career path.
