Director, Clinical Capabilities Lead

Responsibilities

• Championing innovation - Adaptive designs. Biomarker enrichment. Decentralised and digital trial elements. You'll benchmark externally, evaluate emerging capabilities and lead their implementation at scale across BMS.
• Building cross-functional bridges - Sitting at the intersection of Clinical, Biostatistics, Regulatory and Quality, you'll drive alignment at those critical protocol decision points where clarity and consensus matter most.
• Elevating the whole organisation - You'll develop training for clinical physicians and scientists, build communities of practice and manage curricula that keep BMS's clinical talent at the leading edge.
• Owning the quality agenda - From GCP Quality Management Systems optimisation to audit representation and CAPA resolution, you'll be a cornerstone of BMS's quality posture across the global R&D enterprise.
• What's in it for your career?
• Enterprise-wide visibility - Reporting to the VP of the Clinical Design and Delivery Center, you'll operate as a key decision-maker across global clinical processes. Your impact will be felt organisation-wide.
• A genuinely rare scope - Most clinical roles go deep on one asset. This one goes wide and deep - spanning Therapeutic Areas, geographies, early and late development, scientific strategy and operational execution.
• The chance to leave a lasting legacy - The processes you build and the standards you set will shape how BMS does clinical development for years to come.
• Recognition as an industry expert - This role actively rewards external engagement. You'll build a professional profile - both inside BMS and across the industry - that is hard to replicate elsewhere.
• Is this you?
• Advanced degree in Life Sciences - MD, PhD or PharmD (MD preferred)
• 10+ years of clinical development experience , including at least 7 years in biopharma
• Proven track record leading development plans from Phase 1 through Phase 3
• Working knowledge of innovative trial designs - adaptive, biomarker-driven, digital or decentralised
• Deep expertise in GCP/ICH , protocol development and clinical governance
• A confident, credible leader - whether presenting to senior stakeholders or guiding cross-functional teams through ambiguity
• Energised by complexity, with a track record of turning ambiguity into action
• #LI-Hybrid
• If you come across a role that intrigues you but doesn't perfectly line up with your resume, we encourage you to apply anyway. You could be one step away from work that will transform your life and career
