What will you actually be doing?
Think of yourself as the bridge between BMS Product Development and the external manufacturing ecosystem. You’ll be the single point of contact for our Strategic Sourcing & Procurement teams and the go‑to person for managing relationships with CDMOs (Contract Development and Manufacturing Organisations) who handle drug substance and drug product manufacturing on our behalf.
- You’ll be in the room where decisions get made. Sitting on joint steering committees alongside senior leaders from BMS and our external partners, you’ll be driving the conversations that shape outcomes for our pipeline – not just reporting on them.
- You’ll protect the programme, not just the paperwork.
- By leading Virtual Development Operation Teams (VDOTs), you’ll hold external partners accountable for performance – ensuring timelines, quality, and commitments are met for real assets that real patients are waiting on.
- You will build strategies that future‑proof our pipeline. Working alongside colleagues across PD, Quality, and Legal, you’ll help develop sourcing strategies that don’t just fill capacity gaps today – they bring in genuine innovation, bridge technology gaps, and set us up for tomorrow.
- Your technical background will directly translate into commercial impact. You’ll be the one turning complex development requirements into Statements of Work, Master Service Agreements, and Request for Proposals – meaning your scientific fluency becomes a competitive advantage at the negotiating table.
- You will own the full partner lifecycle. From first qualification through to decommissioning, you’ll steer vendor onboarding with Global Quality and GOEHSS – ensuring every external partner is set up for success from day one.
What’s in it for you?
Broaden your career horizon and see your work matter at scale. Your scientific background becomes the foundation for a role that spans strategy, commercial negotiation, and operational leadership. You’ll lead matrix teams, influence without authority, and represent BMS in senior‑level governance forums. You’ll gain commercial fluency without leaving science behind.
Is this you?
You likely have a degree in chemistry, pharmaceutical science, engineering, or a related discipline (BS, MS, or PhD), and at least five years of hands‑on experience in small molecule drug substance and drug product development, clinical or commercial manufacturing.
But beyond the CV, you’re someone who:
- Naturally builds trust – with colleagues, partners, and leadership.
- Can hold a technical conversation with a formulation scientist and a legal team in the same afternoon.
- Is comfortable leading teams who don’t directly report to you.
- Knows that the best outcomes come from collaboration, not command.
