About this role & career path
Associate Director is a mid–senior compliance leadership tier: deep subject-matter ownership in ethics/compliance for a therapy area, with influence across functions rather than pure individual-contributor legal drafting.
Build the skills for this role
Prioritize healthcare compliance (promotional practices, anti-kickback/false claims concepts), pharma ethics frameworks, investigation hygiene, stakeholder counseling, and HIV commercial/medical context. No certification list or costs were provided for this posting.
Prepare scenarios: reviewing a speaker program or HCP engagement, escalating a potential violation, balancing commercial urgency with compliance, and explaining how you advise non-lawyers. Know Gilead’s HIV franchise context at a high level and how ethics partners with legal, medical, and commercial.
Strong fit if you have pharma or biotech compliance experience, comfort advising HIV/treatment commercial activity, and Associate Director-level judgment. Weak fit if you seek pure legal counsel, remote-only work (role is not remote), or generalist HR ethics without healthcare regulation exposure.
