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. Have you ever wondered what happens after a medicine reaches a patient? Behind every approved therapy, there's a team asking the hard questions — Is it safe? For whom? Under what conditions? At Bristol Myers Squibb, that team is us. And we're looking for someone like you to help answer them.

What You’ll Actually Be Doing

You’ll work within a collaborative, senior-led epidemiology team, which means you'll be supported and mentored but you'll also be genuinely trusted with meaningful work from day one: Own your deliverables - You'll be accountable for executing assigned epidemiology study components, from literature reviews and data source assessments to contributing directly to study protocols, analysis plans, and regulatory documents. Your fingerprints will be on science that matters.

Contribute to regulatory-grade science - You'll draft sections of safety study protocols and study reports, risk management plans, aggregate safety reports, learning firsthand how rigorous, audit-ready science is built. If you've ever wanted to understand how pharma regulatory submissions come together, you're about to find out.

Work across the organisation - You'll coordinate with cross‑functional teams, manage timelines, and navigate dependencies. You'll grow your stakeholder management skills in an environment where collaboration is the norm, not the exception.

Spot problems before they become problems - By identifying execution‑level risks and escalating with proposed solutions, you'll quickly develop a professional instinct that’s invaluable in any scientific career.

Help shape how we work - You'll actively contribute to continuous improvement initiatives, meaning your ideas about quality and efficiency won’t disappear into a suggestion box, they’ll be heard.

What You’ll Gain (Beyond the Job Title)

Execute post‑marketing safety study components – A portfolio of real‑world evidence work in a globally recognised pharma company

Draft regulatory documents – Deep expertise in the language and standards of international drug regulation

Work with senior epidemiologists – A mentorship network and scientific foundation you can’t get from a textbook

Coordinate cross‑functional activities – Project management skills that travel with you across your entire career

Support inspection‑ready documentation – A reputation for quality and precision, the gold standard in science

Contribute to CI initiatives – A voice in how science gets done at BMS

You Might Be Exactly Who We’re Looking For

If you have a scientific or biomedical degree—whether that’s a BS, MPH, PharmD, RN, MD, PhD or equivalent—and at least 2 years of relevant experience (yes, that can include hands‑on work from your training).

• Reads the details others miss
• Juggles multiple priorities without dropping the scientific thread
• Communicates clearly — whether you’re writing a regulatory document or explaining a finding to a cross‑functional colleague
• Thrives in a structured environment while still bringing your own thinking to the table
• Is curious about how AI tools are shaping modern scientific work (a bonus if you’ve already started exploring this)

A Little About Where You’d Be Working

BMS’s Patient Safety Epidemiology team designs and conducts scientifically rigorous, observational research, assessing adverse events, studying disease natural history, evaluating background rates, and contextualising safety signals across both approved and pipeline products. In short, we exist to make sure patients get the best possible version of each medicine we bring to the world. You’ll join a team that collaborates across drug development and lifecycle management, meaning your exposure won’t be siloed. You’ll see the science from multiple angles. And yes, there’s some travel involved (~5%), think key scientific congresses, regulatory meetings, and engagements where you’ll represent BMS and continue to grow your professional profile on a global stage.

Ready to Do Science That Reaches Patients?

If you’re an early‑career epidemiologist or scientist ready to move from learning the ropes to pulling them, this is your opportunity to grow inside one of the world’s leading biopharma companies — with the mentorship, the mandate, and the meaningful work to match. Your science has somewhere to go.
