Manager, External Affairs

Job Summary

Were looking for someone who wants to do more than manage documents. We want someone who understands that every Pharmacovigilance Agreement (PVA) they draft, every Safety Adverse Event Management Plan (SAEMP) they maintain, is a link in a chain that ultimately protects real people.

At BMS, your attention to detail isnt just good practice - its patient safety in action.

Responsibilities

• Drafting, reviewing, and maintaining PVAs and SAEMPs - the foundational agreements that keep our pharmacovigilance operations compliant and partner relationships running seamlessly
• Collaborating with global stakeholders across scientific, regulatory, and operational teams - you wont be siloed; youll be sought after
• Applying your regulatory knowledge to keep processes sharp, compliant, and continuously improving
• Building genuine relationships with subject matter experts inside and outside Patient Safety - your network will grow fast here
• Working with industry-leading platforms like Veeva Vault and SharePoint - tools that will sharpen your digital toolkit

What youll bring

Youre probably already thinking "that sounds like me" but just to confirm, heres what were looking for:

• A degree in Life Sciences, Nursing, Pharmacy, Regulatory Affairs, or Chemistry (or equivalent experience that tells a similar story)
• A solid understanding of drug development, pharmacovigilance, and regulatory requirements - you dont need to know everything on day one, but a strong foundation matters
• The kind of organisational skills that mean you actually enjoy juggling priorities, not just surviving them
• A natural communicator who can adapt their style - whether youre briefing a senior leader or onboarding a new partner, you know how to land a message
• Someone whos people-first - you build trust easily and know that great outcomes come from great relationships

Here, your career isnt just managed. Its championed.

Ready to make your work mean something Wed love to hear from you.
