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. Your work could help protect millions of patients. Here's how. 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.

So, what will you actually be doing?

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.
