At Bristol Myers Squibb, we believe that the right data, in the right hands, at the right time can change everything. Every clinical trial we run brings us closer to a treatment that could transform or save a patient's life.
As our Senior Manager of Clinical Data Management, you'll be the person who makes that possible.
This isn't just a data role. It's a leadership position at the heart of our R&D pipeline; where your decisions, your standards, and your expertise directly shape the speed and quality of life-changing medicines reaching patients worldwide.
What You'll Be Doing
Leading Where It Matters Most
You'll take the wheel on end-to-end clinical data management for some of our most complex and impactful trials. That means being the go-to person for both internal teams and external partners, the one who sets the bar for data quality and makes sure everyone clears it.
Drive data collection strategy across one or more complex clinical development projects, aligning cross-functional teams around clear, high-quality standards
Own the full data management lifecycle, from planning and collection through to clean, submission-ready datasets delivered on time
Shape the systems that power our trials, leading requirements gathering for EDC platforms and collaborating with partners across eCOA, External Data, and Safety Gateway
Chair Data Quality Review meetings to keep trial data current, complete, and audit-ready at every stage
Author and review key study documents, Data Quality Management Plans, Data Validation Plans, eCRF Completion Guidelines and more, ensuring consistency and compliance across the board
Mentoring the Next Generation
One of the most rewarding parts of this role? You'll coach and guide junior Data Management Leads, helping them grow while raising the overall capability of the team. Your expertise becomes their foundation.
Representing DM at the Highest Level
You'll sit at the table for cross-functional project teams and regulatory submission teams, and you'll be a key player during Health Authority inspections and audits. This is a role where your voice carries real weight.
Vendor Oversight & Partnerships
Whether working with FSPs, CROs, or third-party vendors, you'll be the quality compass; monitoring deliverables, managing data currency throughout the trial, and holding partners accountable to SLAs that protect the integrity of our work.
Driving Continuous Improvement
You'll contribute meaningfully to how we evolve as an organisation — supporting CAPA implementation and bringing fresh thinking to continuous improvement initiatives within Clinical Data Management.
What's In It For You
Meaningful impact, your work directly supports the development of medicines that matter to millions of patients globally
Career elevation, step into a senior leadership role with visibility across R&D and a clear path toward Director-level progression
Cross-functional influence, build relationships across clinical operations, regulatory, biostatistics, and beyond
Industry exposure, travel to conferences, investigator meetings, and regulatory engagements (approximately 5–10% travel) to stay at the forefront of your field
Intellectual challenge, work with cutting-edge data collection technologies and emerging industry trends that keep your skills sharp and future-proof
What You'll Bring
A Bachelor's Degree (advanced degree preferred) and at least 5 years of relevant industry experience
A strong command of clinical drug development processes, FDA/ICH guidelines, and data management best practices
Hands-on experience with EDC systems; Medidata RAVE experience is a strong plus
Proven project management skills, with a PMP certification considered a bonus
The ability to translate complex data into clear insights through metrics analysis and reporting
Outstanding communication skills, whether you're presenting to senior leadership or collaborating with a vendor team, you know how to land the message
Familiarity with submission requirements including NDA, BLA, and MAA processes
