Make Safety Your Science
At Bristol Myers Squibb, we're driven by a single mission: to discover, develop, and deliver innovative medicines that help patients prevail over serious diseases. Behind every medicine we bring to patients is a team of experts committed to keeping them safe — and we're looking for a talented pharmacovigilance professional to join that team.
The Role
As Senior Manager, Patient Safety Science, you'll be at the heart of how BMS characterises and protects the safe use of its medicines. Working closely with Medical Safety Assessment Physicians and Safety Management Teams, you'll own signal detection, lead safety data review meetings, drive risk management strategies, and ensure robust pharmacovigilance compliance across the product lifecycle — from early development through to postmarketing.
This is a high-impact role with real autonomy, cross-functional visibility, and the opportunity to shape benefit-risk decisions on medicines that matter.
What You'll Do
- Detect & Manage Signals — Lead quantitative signal detection, author comprehensive signal reports, and escalate issues that could impact key safety milestones
- Drive Safety Surveillance — Prepare and contribute to aggregate safety documents (DSURs, PBRERs, PADERs) and respond to health authority queries
- Support Clinical Development — Contribute to safety sections of protocols, investigator brochures, CSRs, and informed consent forms
- Shape Regulatory Submissions — Author safety sections of MAAs, including ISS, SCS, clinical overviews, and product labelling (USPI, CCDS, SmPC)
- Lead Risk Management — Develop and maintain global and EU Risk Management Plans, additional Risk Minimisation Measures, and Post-Authorisation Safety Studies
- Champion Innovation — Leverage AI, automation, and digital platforms to continuously improve safety workflows and data analysis
