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.

Position Summary
As a Senior Specialist in the Cross Study Operations and Specimen Management (CSO & SM) Product Line within Global Development Operations Business Insights & Technology (GDO BI&T), you will reimagine how AI enabled technology solutions will streamline study design and orchestration. This role sits at the front end of the clinical trial lifecycle, where protocol concepts become executable plans. You’ll embed with the teams doing that work, uncover the friction, and use AI tools to rapidly prototype working solutions.
This is a hands-on role. You’ll partner with Product Managers to take the strongest prototypes from concept through production and lifecycle support, working alongside clinical scientists, global development operations, clinical design and delivery center, and R&D BI&T teams. We’re looking for someone eager to make AI their default way of working, not as a novelty, but as the way they investigate a problem, test an idea, and build the solution.
You’ll thrive here if you:
Build with AI habitually, prototyping, analyzing data, generating code, and stress-testing your own assumptions
Spot problems worth solving before anyone files a ticket, and can tell the difference between a real pain point and a stated preference
Are drawn to complex, multi-variable problems, study design and orchestration rarely have one right answer, and the interesting work is in the tradeoffs
Are committed to a career in technology and energized by applying it to improve patient health
Collaborate easily across teams, bring bold ideas, and are willing to challenge the status quo (including your own first draft)
Communicate clearly to both engineers and clinical stakeholders
Key Responsibilities
Serve as the technical business analyst on study design and orchestration initiatives within the CSO & SM Product Line, owning the path from problem identification through delivery
Embed with study design, clinical operations, and trial planning stakeholders to surface pain points, then make the case for which are worth building
Partner with Product Managers and business stakeholders to solve these problems with an AI-first approach, evaluating where AI genuinely outperforms conventional solutions and where it doesn’t
Rapidly prototype solutions using AI tools (e.g., Claude, Claude Code, Copilot) to deliver working artifacts in front of users early, sharpening requirements through demonstration rather than debate
Design, test, and refine prompts, agents, and automations that become durable parts of the product, including the guardrails and human checkpoints that make them trustworthy in a regulated setting
Create IT documentation artifacts in support of agile technology implementations, including but not limited to requirements specifications, process diagrams, user acceptance test plans, traceability matrices, wireframes, training documents, and change management artifacts
Leverage AI to configure, test, and validate applications alongside the engineering team, and coordinate and execute user acceptance testing, validate requirements, and maintain traceability
Participate in retrospectives, gather user feedback, and propose improvements to business capabilities
Qualifications & Experience
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Life Sciences, or a related discipline
3+ years of experience as a technical business analyst, preferably in pharmaceutical, clinical research, or healthcare settings
Experience delivering prototypes with AI tools (e.g., Claude, Claude Code, Copilot), Python, SQL, Jupyter, Figma, or similar tools for scripting, automation, and analytics
Proficient in clear and concise requirements documentation, process modeling (e.g., BPMN, Visio, Lucidchart), and drafting user acceptance criteria
Experience using business analysis tools (Figma, JIRA, Confluence, MS Office, or comparable platforms)
Detail-oriented, organized, and able to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment

How we calculate "similar"
No black box, no LLM guesswork: a deterministic score built from four normalized attributes. Here's this role's own peer group at different match levels, so you can see the mechanism, not just the result.
Every comparison starts from the same 100-point budget: 25 for working in the same function, 40 for the same therapeutic area, 20 for the same or adjacent seniority, 15 for the same country. A dimension we can't confirm on both sides contributes nothing, never a guess, never a free pass.
0 points, never a partial guess. A role we know almost nothing about beyond its function bottoms out at 25%; it never inflates to 100% just because there's little to compare against. Seniority uses a defined ladder (Associate → Manager → Associate Director → Senior → Principal → Director → Senior Director → Executive/VP) so "Director" and "Senior Director" count as adjacent, but "Director" and "Executive/VP" do not.
