About The Role
At Bristol Myers Squibb, we are committed to transforming patients' lives through science. Our Patient Safety Quality Management (SQM) team sits at the heart of that mission — ensuring our pharmacovigilance systems are world-class, inspection-ready, and continuously improving.
We are looking for a seasoned quality and compliance leader to drive strategic GVP deviation management, CAPA oversight, and quality risk management across a global, matrixed organization. If you thrive at the intersection of science, compliance, and leadership — this role is for you.

- Maintain and evolve QMS documentation, setting policy standards for deviation management, management notification, and CAPA processes
- Build and champion cross-functional partnerships across R&D and BMS, embedding a consistent culture of quality and continuous improvement
- Serve as the internal authority for global Deviations and CAPA networks, influencing enterprise IT systems and processes to meet GVP requirements
- Lead the Pharmacovigilance Safety Quality Forum, reporting quality events, audit CAPAs, and risk management findings to senior Patient Safety leadership
- Oversee the accuracy and strategic use of deviation and CAPA data within the Pharmacovigilance System Master File (PSMF)
- Monitor external intelligence — regulations, guidance documents, Health Authority inspection reports — ensuring risks are reviewed, escalated, and actioned appropriately
- Design and deliver impactful training programs that sharpen team expertise and maintain audit and inspection readiness
- Support GVP Inspections in close collaboration with the PV Quality function
