Job description

At Bristol Myers Squibb, our employees often ask, “Who are you working for?”—a question that fuels collaboration, accountability, and urgency in our work. Our purpose-driven culture inspires us to discover, develop, and deliver innovative medicines to prevail over serious diseases. We offer uniquely interesting and meaningful work, opportunities for growth, and a supportive environment that values inclusion, wellbeing, flexibility, and comprehensive benefits. This is work that transforms the lives of patients, and the careers of those who do it.

What if the next clinical trial you shaped went on to change how a disease is treated - forever?

That’s not a hypothetical here. At Bristol Myers Squibb , it’s the everyday reality for the scientists who sit at the heart of our clinical development programmes.

And right now, we’re looking for one more.

If you’re a clinical scientist with deep therapeutic area expertise, a track record of delivering complex studies with rigour and precision, and the kind of scientific leadership presence that makes cross-functional teams better - this is a role worth stopping for.

This isn’t a supporting role. This is a defining one.

As Director, Global Clinical Trial Physician , you’ll be a core contributor to the Global Clinical Development Strategy for your assigned asset and indication - not executing someone else’s vision, but actively helping to shape it.

You’ll bring the scientific depth, the regulatory knowledge and the cross-functional credibility to ensure that the clinical studies in your portfolio are designed well, run well and reported well. And when they are, patients get better data, regulators get cleaner submissions, and medicines get to the people who need them faster.

That chain of consequence starts with the work you’ll do here.

What your days will actually look like and why each part matters

Being the Scientific Authority Your Team Relies On

• You’ll serve as the subject matter expert for the development, conduct and regulatory submission of clinical studies across your portfolio - from protocol development through to CSR review and validation.
• When you’re the person in the room who knows - who can cut through ambiguity, answer the hard scientific questions and give the team the clarity they need to move forward - studies run better. Timelines hold. Quality improves. And that means patients aren’t waiting longer than they need to.

Shaping the Studies That Shape the Science

• You’ll contribute meaningfully to clinical development plans, strategic discussions and the harmonisation of standards across programmes and indications - ensuring consistency, quality and alignment across everything in your book of work.
• Your input at this level doesn’t just influence one study. It sets the standard for how BMS approaches an entire asset or indication and those standards have a long reach. The scientific decisions you help make today will still be influencing development programmes years from now.

Owning the Data and What It Means

• You’ll lead clinical oversight of study data - guiding teams in understanding CRF interdependencies, data conventions, review tools and visualisations, working in close collaboration with Data Management and Programming.
• This is where scientific rigour becomes tangible. Clean, well-understood, well-interpreted data is the foundation of every regulatory submission, every label claim, every prescribing decision a physician will make based on
