What if your next role helped change the course of a patient's life?

At Bristol Myers Squibb, that's not a motivational tagline - it's the reality of what you'd be doing every single day.

We're looking for an Associate Director of Clinical Data Management to join us at our Uxbridge site. This is a role where your expertise doesn't just support a clinical trial - it drives it. The data you champion, the standards you set, and the teams you lead are what ultimately move life-changing medicines from the lab to the people who need them most.

If you're someone who finds purpose in precision, thrives in complexity, and wants to lead - not just participate - then read on.

This is your chance to lead, not just deliver

You'll step into a genuine leadership position at the heart of BMS's R&D pipeline — one of the most promising in the industry. You won't be managing data in isolation. You'll be the person that cross-functional teams turn to, the voice of data management in study teams and at the executive table, and the expert who sets the standard others follow.

In practical terms, that means:

• Owning end-to-end data management across one or more complex, high-stakes clinical development programmes — with the autonomy to shape how they run
• Setting programme-level data standards in partnership with global teams, leaving a legacy that outlasts any single trial
• Leading Data Quality Review meetings, ensuring the integrity and completeness of trial data that underpins regulatory submissions worldwide
• Mentoring junior Data Management Leads, helping the next generation of talent grow — and growing your own leadership reputation in the process
• Representing Data Management on cross-functional and regulatory submission teams, giving you visibility and influence across the full breadth of the organisation

This isn't a role where you wait for direction. You are the direction.

The problems you'll solve are genuinely hard and that's the point

Clinical trials are complex. Multi-vendor. Multi-system. High-pressure. And the margin for error is slim when patient safety and regulatory approval are on the line.

You'll be working with EDC systems (Medidata RAVE), integrating data from eCOA, External Data, and Safety Gateway platforms, and overseeing third-party vendors and CROs to ensure everything runs to the agreed SLA. You'll author and review critical study documentation — from Data Quality Management Plans to eCRF Completion Guidelines — and you'll lead or support Health Authority inspections and audits when it really counts.

What does that mean for you? You'll build a track record that is visible, verifiable, and genuinely impressive. The kind of experience that doesn't just look good on a CV — it shapes who you are as a leader in this industry.

You'll be part of something bigger than any single study

BMS is a company that takes its mission seriously: to discover, develop and deliver innovative medicines that help patients prevail over serious diseases. That mission runs through everything here, and in this role, you'll feel it.

You'll also have the opportunity to drive continuous improvement — evaluating new technologies, contributing to functional SOPs, and supporting change management initiatives that have broad impact across the organisation. If you've ever had ideas about how clinical data management could work better, this is the environment where you can actually make those ideas happen.

And with just 5–10% travel to industry conferences, investigator meetings, and regulatory inspections, you'll have the balance to do deep, meaningful work — while staying connected to the wider clinical community.

What you'll bring

• 7+ years of experience in biopharma or CRO environments, with at least 3 years in a study or programme leadership role
• Strong working knowledge of FDA/ICH guidelines and industry data management practices
• Hands-on experience with EDC systems, ideally Medidata RAVE
• A sharp eye for metrics, reporting, and quality oversight
• The communication skills to hold a room — whether that's with a junior team member or a senior regulatory authority
• A Bachelor's degree in life sciences, data science, or statistics (advanced degree a bonus, not a barrier)
