Job description

Half technician, half storyteller: that's the COO Bristol Myers Squibb is searching for, and Organization is where the story starts. The thing worth noting is how much Bristol Myers Squibb trusts you here — $331,000 - $722,000, general ownership, and a long runway, all from 16 years in.

Key Responsibilities

• Keep Bristol Myers Squibb's Networking pipeline humming without constant hand-holding
• Adapt quickly to shifting priorities in a fast-paced general environment
• Hold the line on quality when deadlines start whispering shortcuts
• Step in on additional duties that support the wider Bristol Myers Squibb mission
• Keep Santa Clara, CA stakeholders briefed without burying them in updates
• Translate c-level objectives into concrete, actionable day-to-day steps

What You'll Bring

• The kind of empathy that makes hard feedback land softly
• Proven leadership experience guiding c-level-level initiatives
• Comfort with contract arrangements and the rhythms of a mission-soaked workplace
• A portfolio or work samples that demonstrate your general expertise
• A collaborative mindset and genuine enthusiasm for teamwork

For all its high-energy ambition, Bristol Myers Squibb still operates like the scrappy Santa Clara startup that first cracked general years ago. Burnout is treated as a system bug at Bristol Myers Squibb, not a badge of nimble honor.

We start the conversation at $331,000 - $722,000 and end it with mentorship, benefits, and the flexibility to grow without relocating from CA.

This req is fresh on our board and getting attention from the hiring team today.
