Executive Director, Global Medical Operations at Bristol Myers Squibb | LAYIQ

1. Organizational Design & Capability Building (Priority One)
Own the enterprise-wide operational strategy for medical study execution across BMS's full portfolio — oncology, hematology, immunology, cardiovascular disease, and neuroscience — ensuring the operational model is built to serve the full diversity of evidence generation needs across the organization
Define and own the organizational architecture for MEG Operations — establishing the right structure, roles, levels, and accountability model for the team responsible for day-to-day study execution
Architect a medical-specific operational framework that is deliberately distinct from the drug development model — built around the flexibility, creativity, and evidence-focused nature of medical studies rather than the regulatory-prescribed pathways that govern development trials
Design adaptable operational frameworks tailored to each study modality — interventional, observational/non-interventional, and externally sponsored — recognizing that each requires a different operational approach, governance structure, and level of sponsor oversight
Identify talent gaps and partner with HR to address under-resourced areas and elevate capability where roles have been too junior for the complexity of the work
Ensure the model scales with BMS's evolving medical portfolio and can flex as new evidence generation priorities emerge
2. Governance, Compliance & Regulatory Standards
Establish robust governance frameworks that ensure all medical study operations comply with applicable global and local regulations, ICH guidelines, Good Clinical Practice (GCP), and BMS internal standards
Maintain deep working knowledge of the regulatory and compliance requirements that govern global clinical trials across all three study modalities, including country-specific requirements for non-interventional and real-world evidence studies
Implement standardized — yet adaptable — operational policies and procedures that drive consistency and compliance across the portfolio while preserving the operational flexibility that medical studies require
3 . Study Operations Execution & Oversight
Provide senior oversight of MEG study operations across the full lifecycle, ensuring studies are delivered on time, within scope, and to the highest quality standards
Identify , assess, and mitigate operational risks across the portfolio; implement corrective and preventive actions as needed
Oversee CRO and vendor partnerships, ensuring external partners are aligned to BMS standards, contractual obligations, and quality expectations
4 . Strategic Alignment & Leadership
Represent MEG Operations as an enterprise leader and key decision-maker within the MEG, MAP & RWE Leadership Team, bringing operational strategy, portfolio-level insights, and a cross-therapeutic area perspective to senior leadership discussions
Act as a change agent and organizational architect, setting the vision for how medical operations will evolve at BMS — anticipating future portfolio needs and ensuring the function is always positioned ahead of demand
Partner closely with the Head of MEG, MAP & RWE and the broader Leadership Team to align operational strategy with medical portfolio priorities
Serve as a visible, credible operational leader across the MEG, MAP & RWE organization — someone who can translate high-level strategy into executable operational plans and who earns trust through both expertise and delivery
Champion innovation and continuous improvement, benchmarking BMS MEG operations against industry best practices and driving adoption of digital tools, data platforms, and process enhancements that improve execution speed and data quality
