At Bristol Myers Squibb, our employees often ask, “Who are you working for?”-a question that fuels collaboration, accountability, and urgency in our work. Our purpose-driven culture inspires us to discover, develop, and deliver innovative medicines to prevail over serious diseases. We offer uniquely interesting and meaningful work, opportunities for growth, and a supportive environment that values inclusion, wellbeing, flexibility, and comprehensive benefits. This is work that transforms the lives of patients, and the careers of those who do it.
Position Summary
The Senior Analyst role in Bristol Myers Squibb’s Trial Analytics, Insights, and Planning (TAIP) unit is an excellent opportunity for professionals with approximately 3-6 years of experience in consulting, life sciences analytics, or clinical trial operations to step into an internal consulting environment that directly accelerates drug development.
Senior Analysts join one of two tracks based on their background and preference:
- The Analytical track focuses on forecasting, data modelling, dashboards, and site performance analytics.
- The Scientific track focuses on protocol logic, patient population sizing, eligibility criteria, and feasibility planning.
Regardless of track, you will gain exposure to both domains and are expected to develop strong, well-rounded expertise in scientific and analytical areas over time.
As a Senior Analyst, you will be embedded in a specific clinical trial team and work under the guidance of more senior team members to deliver core analytics workstreams that support smarter, faster trial execution. This includes taking ownership of trial forecasting models, feasibility analyses, and protocol analytics - always with the goal of helping bring therapies to patients more effectively.
You are not expected to be a therapeutic area or protocol expert on day one, but you will be expected to build domain knowledge over time, apply structured thinking to complex trial problems, and deliver high-quality, consistent outputs. You’ll also be part of a global, cross-functional team, working closely with peers across time zones to deliver with speed and precision.
Key Responsibilities
- Own key trial-level analytics workstreams (e.g., enrollment forecasting, feasibility analysis, protocol input)
- Translate structured study requirements into analytical deliverables in collaboration with more senior TAIP colleagues
- Work within a specific clinical trial context, gaining exposure to operational strategy, protocol logic, and real-world trial planning challenges
- Build therapeutic area knowledge over time, contributing to more targeted and scientifically grounded analyses
- Ensure accuracy, consistency, and clarity in data models, dashboards, and insights shared with the study team
- Collaborate across geographies, coordinating with other analysts and team members globally
- Contribute to cost-related analyses, such as country mix optimization and study design trade-offs
- Support study optimization by analyzing site and patient burden, competitor activity, and external data sources
- Coordinate with field-based colleagues to integrate local insights into feasibility and planning analytics
- Utilize trial analytics platforms and tools to generate, structure, and communicate data-driven insights
- Support analytics that may inform clinical supply forecasting or site-level supply considerations
- Applies critical thinking to analyze complex data, challenge assumptions, and generate strategic, evidence-based recommendations
Qualifications & Experience
- Education: Preferred advanced degree (e.g., MSc, MPH, PharmD, PhD, MBA) in a relevant field
- Experience:
- 3-6+ years of experience in consulting, healthcare analytics, life sciences strategy, or clinical trial planning and delivery is required
- Proven ability to manage and deliver complex analytical projects in fast-paced environments
- Skills:
- Excellent communication and structured problem-solving skills
- Strong MS Office (Excel, PowerPoint) skills required
- Interest in developing deeper expertise in therapeutic areas and clinical trial analytics
Why Join This Team?
- Grow in a Learning Environment: Build your scientific, analytical, and strategic expertise over time
- Be Part of an Internal Consulting Model: Operate in a pod-based team inspired by top-tier strategy firms
- Progress Through a Clear Career Path: Advance through a structured path modeled on strategic consulting, with transparent expectations, ~2-3 years per role, and rapid progression based on ownership and impact
- Pathway to Strategic Leadership at BMS: Career development is actively encouraged and expected, with opportunities to move into broader strategy and leadership roles within BMS in a short timeframe
- Accelerate Therapies to Patients: Help drive clinical decisions that bring treatments to patients faster
