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.

Key Responsibilities

• Strategy & governance — Develop and own the strategy, governance framework, and procedural documentation for the Management Review process (including the Quality Council network), advancing the program toward a more predictive, data-driven state and supporting the organization's broader Quality Culture goals, while ensuring alignment with evolving global regulatory requirements and industry best practices.

• Issue resolution & effectiveness verification — For issues identified through predictive insight and data analysis, partner cross-functionally to identify appropriate actions, drive mitigation and improvement efforts, and verify the effectiveness of implemented actions to ensure the issue is fully resolved.
• Process improvement & streamlining — Identify and address gaps in the current Management Review and Quality Council process — including cadence, structure, materials, and workflows — to reduce burden, eliminate redundancy, and streamline execution; evolve toward a continuously-monitored, sustainable state as the program matures.
• Cross-functional risk surfacing — Partner with Product Quality, Site, and CMO leads to surface key risks, concerns, and mitigation strategies from their respective areas, bringing this input to the Enterprise Quality Council to drive meaningful discussion and identify where additional support or escalation is needed.
• Predictive analytics tool development — Lead the design and development of a data-driven tool to support Quality Council discussions, integrating internal and external data sources to proactively surface key risks and answer critical questions that inform decision-making across the organization.
• Executive & Board support — Gather information needed to support the Head of Global Quality in preparing quality updates and materials for BMS Leadership Team and Board of Directors quarterly reviews, translating complex quality data into clear executive narratives that drive understanding and action.
• Council lead network & capability building — Build and sustain a network across Quality Council leads to share best practices, drive consistency, and build facilitation and analytical capability across the council structure.
• Quality Council KPIs — Assess and improve the current Quality Council metrics/KPIs, working to shift the set from lagging toward more leading indicators that can surface emerging risks earlier and support more proactive discussion and action.
• External intelligence & benchmarking — Maintain external networks and benchmark Quality Council/Management Review practices against industry peers and regulatory expectations to inform continuous improvement.
