Senior Manager, Value Creation UK&IE

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.

The Opportunity

Office based, requiring 50% onsite presence.

Some roles fill a gap. This one builds something.

As Value Creation Manager at BMS, you will be the strategic architect of wraparound value across the UK&IE portfolio, owning and forging partnerships with compounders, Patient Support Programme delivery organisations, private market stakeholders, and NHS customers to unlock real, measurable value for patients and the business.

This is not a traditional commercial role. It sits at the intersection of brand strategy, market access, and external partnerships, and it demands someone who is bold enough to identify opportunities others haven't seen yet, and capable enough to execute on them.

If you are commercially sharp, relationship-driven, and genuinely energised by complexity, read on.

What You Will Be Doing

Portfolio Value Strategy You will partner with Brand teams to own and execute a comprehensive Value Creation Plan that maximises the commercial and patient value of the BMS UK&IE portfolio. That means proactively identifying and pursuing high-potential opportunities across compounders, PSP delivery organisations, and the private market, and serving as the strategic lead for all commercial partnership organisations.

Patient Support Programmes and Collaborative Working You will act as process owner for the end-to-end set-up and management of Joint Working agreements and PSP programmes, working closely with Brand, Procurement, and administrative teams to ensure governance is robust and delivery is seamless. Compliance and value creation are not in tension here, you will make sure they go hand in hand.

Private Market and Strategic Partnerships Working alongside Market Access and Brand teams, you will build and develop relationships within the private healthcare market, establishing commercial partnership agreements and leading the identification of distribution opportunities for late-stage portfolio assets.

NHS Customer Network You will build a targeted network of NHS ICB customers to monitor the entry of locally commissioned assets, making sure BMS is optimally positioned from commissioning through launch and into lifecycle. You will also develop an influential network of NHS pharmacy leads and network managers to drive uptake and proactively manage loss of exclusivity scenarios.

Compounder Management You will manage and grow strategic relationships with compounders, acting as the primary BMS point of contact and identifying opportunities to optimise both top-line revenue and bottom-line performance.

Cross-Functional Leadership You will work across Brand, Market Access, Medical, Legal, Commercialisation Operations, and Procurement, bringing strategic initiatives to life through influence rather than authority, and contributing market intelligence that shapes wider business planning.

What We Are Looking For

Essential

5–10 years of progressive experience in pharma or healthcare, with a track record in commercial, market access, or strategic partnership roles

Commercially astute, with a solid grasp of P&L dynamics and the ability to evaluate opportunities with financial rigour

Proven ability to operate in a highly matrixed environment, leading and influencing without direct authority

Strong knowledge of the UK healthcare landscape, NHS structures, ICBs, commissioning pathways, and the private market

A proactive, solutions-oriented mindset: someone who spots opportunities early, makes confident decisions, and drives execution at pace

Preferred

Experience with Patient Support Programmes, Joint Working frameworks, or collaborative working arrangements within pharma

Familiarity with compounder relationships or specialist distribution models in the UK

Exposure to late-stage portfolio strategy or LOE planning

Experience working with Market Access teams on private market or access strategy

What Makes Someone Successful Here

This role will suit someone who is as comfortable building relationships as they are building a business case. You think strategically, communicate clearly at senior levels, and thrive when the path forward is not yet mapped out. You are resilient, adaptable, and driven by the idea of creating something that genuinely matters, for patients, for the team, and for the business.
