About the Role
We're looking for an experienced SBRA Lead to drive structured benefit‑risk assessments across BMS's portfolio — from early clinical development through to post‑marketing. Reporting to the Head of SBRA within Safety Evidence & Sciences, you'll be the go‑to expert for benefit‑risk methodology, leading cross‑functional teams and shaping company‑wide positions on the benefit‑risk profiles of our medicines.
What You’ll Do
* Lead end‑to‑end benefit‑risk assessments across all therapeutic areas, from early clinical development through late‑stage and post‑marketing.
* Guide, steer, and mentor cross‑functional benefit‑risk project teams (BRPTs) in the application of structured benefit‑risk assessment frameworks, value trees, effects tables, and other relevant tools.
* Own the development of the core SBRA document and facilitate effective communication and collaboration among internal stakeholders to achieve consensus on the benefit‑risk profile of BMS medicines.
* Drive strategic discussions on the use of qualitative and/or quantitative methods for benefit‑risk assessment.
* Champion the patient voice by providing guidance on the incorporation of patient preference studies and patient‑focused drug development into the assessment process.
* Serve as subject‑matter expert for the BRPT and wider functions on SBRA content, methodology, tools, and processes.
* Continuously improve standard benefit‑risk tools and frameworks in line with evolving best practices.
* Strategic planning and oversight: support the Head of SBRA in defining and executing the strategic vision for the benefit‑risk assessment function, aligned with organizational goals and regulatory requirements.
* Monitor the regulatory landscape to ensure compliance and adoption of best practices, keeping up to date with guidance from regulatory agencies and key industry organizations.
* Develop and maintain procedural documents and internal training materials related to benefit‑risk assessment processes.
* Build and maintain relationships with internal partners and external thought leaders in the benefit‑risk field.
* Communicate and innovate — develop novel ways to present benefit‑risk information, author publications, and represent BMS at internal and external meetings and conferences.
What You’ll Bring
* BS/BA required; advanced degree strongly preferred (MSc, PhD, PharmD or equivalent).
* 10+ years of relevant pharmaceutical, clinical, academic, or healthcare industry experience, with significant expertise in global pharmacovigilance, safety risk management, and benefit‑risk assessment.
* Strong knowledge of global regulatory frameworks and processes for pharmacovigilance and benefit‑risk management.
* Proven track record of delivering against complex programmes within a highly matrixed organization.
* Up to 5–10% travel required.
Skills & Abilities

* Strong analytical mindset with creative problem‑solving abilities — including in challenging and ambiguous situations.
* Exceptional listening, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
* Skilled at managing multiple priorities, adapting to shifting demands, and operating effectively under uncertainty.
* Ability to handle conflict constructively, read situations quickly, and find common ground to drive resolution.
