Every medicine that reaches a patient has a story and behind that story is a team of people making sure it's safe. That's where you come in. We're looking for someone who wants to do more than manage documents. We want someone who understands that every Pharmacovigilance Agreement (PVA) they draft, every Safety Adverse Event Management Plan (SAEMP) they maintain, is a link in a chain that ultimately protects real people. At BMS, your attention to detail isn't just good practice - it's patient safety in action. So, what will you actually be doing? You'll be working in the Safety Quality Management (SQM) pillar at the heart of our global Patient Safety team, managing the agreements that govern how we and our external partners handle drug safety information. Think of yourself as a critical connector, bridging BMS, business partners, and CROs to make sure that when safety data matters most, the right processes are in place and running smoothly. Day to day, that means: * Drafting, reviewing, and maintaining PVAs and SAEMPs \- the foundational agreements that keep our pharmacovigilance operations compliant and partner relationships running seamlessly * Collaborating with global stakeholders across scientific, regulatory, and operational teams - you won't be siloed; you'll be sought after * Applying your regulatory knowledge to keep processes sharp, compliant, and continuously improving * Building genuine relationships with subject matter experts inside and outside Patient Safety - your network will grow fast here * Working with industry-leading platforms like Veeva Vault and SharePoint - tools that will sharpen your digital toolkit What's in it for you? Let's be direct about the real gains this role offers: * Global visibility \- This isn't a local role. You'll interact with colleagues and partners across geographies, giving you an international perspective that's genuinely rare at this level. * Accelerated expertise \- You'll develop deep knowledge in pharmacovigilance regulations, partner agreement frameworks, and compliance best practices. This is a career-defining specialism that opens doors across the pharma industry. * A seat at the table \- You won't just execute tasks; you'll contribute to continuous improvement initiatives and quality projects that shape how Patient Safety operates globally. * Purposeful work, every day \- The work you do directly supports BMS's mission to discover, develop, and deliver transformative medicines. You'll feel that connection - it's not abstract here. * Grow your influence \- You'll regularly engage with technically and culturally diverse colleagues, sharpening your ability to communicate, influence, and lead without authority - a skill that makes professionals invaluable. * Broaden your scope – You’ll have opportunities to contribute to additional activities across the SQM organization, expanding your experience and visibility beyond your core responsibilities. What you'll bring You're probably already thinking "that sounds like me" but just to confirm, here's what we're looking for: * A degree in Life Sciences, Nursing, Pharmacy, Regulatory Affairs, or Chemistry (or equivalent experience that tells a similar story) * A solid understanding of drug development, pharmacovigilance, and regulatory requirements \- you don't need to know everything on day one, but a strong foundation matters * The kind of organisational skills that mean you actually enjoy juggling priorities, not just surviving them * A natural communicator who can adapt their style \- whether you're briefing a senior leader or onboarding a new partner, you know how to land a message * Someone who's people-first \- you build trust easily and know that great outcomes come from great relationships Here, your career isn't just managed. It's championed. Ready to make your work mean something? We'd love to hear from you.
