Some careers are built on execution. This one is built on ownership.

There's a difference between being part of a regulatory strategy and being the person who defines it. If you've spent your career building towards that - the accountability, the influence, the genuine leadership - this is the role you've been preparing for.

At Bristol Myers Squibb, we're looking for an Associate Director in Global Regulatory Sciences to own and drive EU and International regulatory strategy across the full product lifecycle. Not contribute to it. Not support it. Own it.

What does ownership really look like here?

It means when a programme needs a clear regulatory direction in Europe or internationally, you're the person who sets it. When health authorities have questions, you're the person leading the response. When cross-functional teams need a single point of accountability for EU and International regulatory topics - that's you.

This is a role where the decisions you make, the strategies you define, and the relationships you build will have a direct line to patient access across multiple markets. That's not a talking point - it's the reality of what this work delivers.

What you'll be doing and what you'll gain from it

• Setting strategy, not receiving it. You'll own the EU and International regulatory strategy.  You'll define registration scenarios, procedural pathways, timelines, and risk-mitigation approaches and you'll do it in close partnership with Global Regulatory Teams and Country Regulatory Managers. 

For you, this means stepping fully into strategic leadership and building a track record of regulatory outcomes that span geographies and product phases.

• Leading at the table with Health Authorities. You won't just prepare for EMA interactions, you'll lead them.

This is the kind of hands-on HA engagement that builds real authority, both within BMS and in the broader regulatory community.

• Being the voice people turn to. You'll serve as the single point of accountability for European and International regulatory topics - the person who provides guidance, makes calls, and gives teams the clarity they need to move forward confidently. 

That kind of visibility accelerates careers. People will know your name, your judgement, and your impact.

• Building and leading teams, not just working in them. You'll build and lead regulatory networks and share intelligence across functions and geographies. 

If you're at the stage where you want to shape the next generation of regulatory professionals and leave something behind beyond your own outputs - this is the platform to do it.

• Owning labelling strategy end-to-end. You'll be accountable for target labelling strategies, and reference label implementation across the lifecycle. 

This is the kind of cross-cutting, high-visibility work that deepens your expertise and broadens your influence within the organisation.

• With the potential to step into Global Regulatory Lead. Depending on programme needs and your experience, you may serve as Global Regulatory Lead with overall accountability for global regulatory strategy and delivery across the full product lifecycle. 

That's a significant step up in scope, and a genuine pathway to the most senior levels of regulatory leadership in the industry.

The real gains for you

• True accountability - You'll move from supporting strategy to owning it. That shift is career-defining, and the experience you gain here is the kind that opens doors at the highest levels of the industry.
• Global reach - Operating across EU and International markets, leading EMA engagements, and aligning global and local teams gives you a breadth of experience that very few regulatory roles can match.
• Leadership development - You'll build regulatory teams and networks. This isn't just about your own career growth - it's about leaving a legacy of people you've helped develop.
• Mission-driven work - BMS exists to discover, develop, and deliver innovative medicines that help patients prevail over serious diseases. Every strategy you set, every submission you lead, every pathway you optimise moves that mission forward.
• A platform for influence - Internally and externally, you'll be recognised as a regulatory authority. Your positions will shape submissions, your judgement will guide programmes, and your voice will carry weight with health authorities.

What we're looking for

You bring at least 5 years of regulatory experience across EU, International, and/or Global settings and you've moved beyond execution into genuine strategic contribution. You know EU regulatory frameworks deeply, you understand the legal and business implications of regulatory decisions, and you've led or significantly contributed to health authority interactions with credibility.

You're someone who can hold complexity - scientific, regulatory, commercial and organisational - and turn it into coherent strategy. You lead through influence as naturally as you lead through authority. And when things get ambiguous or challenging, you're the person who steps forward with a clear head and a clear plan.

You're not looking for a role where you wait to be told what to do. You're looking for the room to lead.

Ready to own what comes next?

If you've been building towards a role where your regulatory expertise, strategic thinking, and leadership all come together in one place - this is it.

Apply now and help shape the regulatory future of medicines that matter to patients across the world.
