Senior Scientist, Analytical Lead

At Bristol Myers Squibb, our employees often ask, “Who are you working for?”—a question that fuels collaboration, accountability, and urgency in our work. Our purpose-driven culture inspires us to discover, develop, and deliver innovative medicines to prevail over serious diseases. 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. Have you ever wanted your work to truly matter? Not just ticking boxes. Not just running samples. But genuinely knowing that what you do every day is part of the chain that gets life-changing medicines to the patients who need them. That's exactly what this role is about. So, who are we looking for? You're an experienced analytical scientist who's grown beyond the bench. You understand GMP stability operations inside and out - the scheduling, the sample management, the documentation - but more than that, you know how to lead . You bring calm to complexity, clarity to competing priorities, and confidence to the people around you. You've probably found yourself being the go-to person in your current team. The one colleagues turn to when something's tricky, when a timeline gets squeezed, or when an audit is on the horizon. You enjoy that. You're ready for a role that officially recognises it. If that sounds like you - read on. What you'll actually be doing (and why it matters) Leading GMP Stability Operations You'll take ownership of stability sample operations for medicines in development - from small molecule new chemical entities right through to clinical-stage investigational products. That means planning, executing and documenting activities to the highest cGMP standards, managing sample receipt, storage, labelling and shipment, and keeping everything inspection-ready at all times. What's in it for you? You'll develop genuine end-to-end operational ownership of a critical function - the kind of experience that significantly elevates your professional profile and your credibility across the industry. Driving Analytical Project Delivery From clinical product release to method validation, you'll coordinate analytical activities across multiple deliverables simultaneously. You'll author and review validation protocols and reports, support technology transfers to both internal teams and external partners and act as the bridge between scientific staff, Quality Assurance and project stakeholders. What's in it for you? You'll sharpen your ability to manage complex, multi-threaded projects in a regulated environment - a skillset that's genuinely rare and highly valued. You'll also build a rich network across disciplines and organisations that will serve your career for years to come. Coaching and Guiding Your Team This isn't a lone-scientist role. You'll coach, guide and coordinate scientific staff, helping them build consistent ways of working and execute to a high standard. You'll be a visible, trusted leader - not just a senior pair of hands. What's in it for you? Leadership development without waiting for a formal management title. You'll grow real people skills - mentoring, prioritisation, communication - that accelerate your path to whatever comes next. Owning Compliance and Audit Readiness You'll apply sound risk management and pharmaceutical development principles to keep your area inspection-ready. When audits and regulatory inspections arrive - and they will - you'll be the person who made sure everything was in order. What's in it for you? There's a particular confidence that comes from knowing your area is bulletproof. You'll develop deep regulatory fluency that opens doors across the pharmaceutical development landscape. Improving How Things Work You'll have the platform to identify and implement genuine improvements - in stability operations, analytical delivery,
