• Work with asset leads to set priority insight questions, then synthesize the findings so they inform asset and portfolio decisions.

• Own the Launchpad as the central repository for market-facing medical content, and keep it current, accurate and aligned with approved strategy.
• Coordinate content for cross-market forums (AIMS, MM CAR and FIRE calls) in partnership with Project Management and other relevant functions, so the meetings advance portfolio priorities and support consistent execution.
• Hematology Medical Partnership : Serve as the main point of contact between MM Cell Therapy and Heme Medical teams, promoting alignment, knowledge sharing and a unified BMS presence in multiple myeloma
• Strategic Pull-Through and Alignment : Build a working command of the MM CAR T portfolio strategy and messaging, and make sure cross-portfolio deliverables reflect it even when you aren't the project owner.
• Partner with asset leads and workstream owners to flag misalignment, risks and decision points early.
• Keep the Executive Director and asset leads aligned on progress and priorities.

Qualifications & Experience

• Advanced degree (MD, PhD or PharmD) required; background in oncology/hematology or a related life sciences discipline preferred
• 6–8 years of pharmaceutical industry experience, including Medical Affairs; multiple myeloma and CAR T knowledge preferred but not required
