Executive Director, Global Medical Operations
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Remove boilerplate etc. We need to parse the posting. Key sections: - About the role: The introductory paragraph(s) describing purpose, role, etc. Should be prose
. - Responsibilities: The list under "Responsibilities" heading in original. It includes subheadings: Organizational Design & Capability Building (Priority One), Governance, Compliance & Regulatory Standards, Study Operations Execution & Oversight, Strategic Alignment & Leadership. Under each there are bullet points (some are sentences). We need to output
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can flatten all responsibility items into a list? Or preserve subheadings? The instruction: Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. So within Responsibilities section, we should have a
- with
- items for each duty. We can ignore subheadings inside; just list items.
- Requirements: The posting has "Qualifications" section with subparts: Educational Background, Industry Experience, Operational Model Expertise, Study Operations and Regulatory/Compliance Expertise, Cross-Portfolio Scope Experience, Communication & Influence. Also there is a line "We hire for skills and capabilities, not just credentials – if this role excites you, but doesn’t perfectly match your resume, we encourage you to apply anyway." That's more like encouragement, could be part of Qualifications or maybe Skills. But we have separate Skills section maybe.
We need to decide which sections to include: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (maybe Requirements?), Skills, Benefits, Pay. Schedule not present (no schedule info). So we omit Schedule.
We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
Thus we need to extract all substantive info from the posting and place into appropriate sections.
Let's extract:
About the role: The first paragraph(s) before "Responsibilities". Let's capture:
"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 Executive Director of Global MEG Operations will serve as the operational architect delivering BMS's Medical Evidence Generation enterprise, responsible for building a fit-for-purpose operational model designed specifically around the needs and nature of medical studies across all therapeutic areas, including oncology, hematology, immunology, cardiovascular disease, and neuroscience. This is a builder role. The leader will lead an organization of approximately 50 and will be expected to assess the current state, redesign the organizational structure, clarify roles and accountabilities, and ensure the team is equipped to execute BMS's medical evidence generation portfolio at scale and with excellence. The role will require a leader who has previously built and scaled operational organizations from the ground up in complex, matrixed, global pharmaceutical or biotechnology environments and can bring that proven expertise to bear immediately. Critically, this model must be purpose-built for medical — not adapted from drug development. While development trials are designed to satisfy regulatory bodies and support product approval, medical studies serve a different purpose generating evidence that informs clinical practice, supports medical education, and deepens understanding of disease and treatment in real-world settings. This distinction creates meaningful flexibility in how medical studies are designed and operationalized, and this leader must understand and leverage that flexibility to build a model that truly fits the work across BMS's full portfolio. The ED of MEG Operations will ensure operational excellence across the full study lifecycle — from budget conception, feasibility, and timeline planning through site activation, data collection, monitoring, and study closeout. This leader reports to the SVP and Head of Medical Evidence Generation, Managed Access Programs & Real-World Evidence and serves as a core member of the MEG, MAP & RWE Leadership Team."
That's a lot; we can keep as prose
. Might be long but okay. Responsibilities: We need to list each duty. From the responsibilities section: Organizational Design & Capability Building (Priority One): - Own the enterprise-wide operational strategy for medical study execution across BMS's full portfolio — oncology, hematology, immunology, cardiovascular disease, and neuroscience — ensuring the operational model is built to serve the full diversity of evidence generation needs across the organization - Define and own the organizational architecture for MEG Operations — establishing the right structure, roles, levels, and accountability model for the team responsible for day-to-day study execution - Architect a medical-specific operational framework that is deliberately distinct from the drug development model — built around the flexibility, creativity, and evidence-focused nature of medical studies rather than the regulatory-prescribed pathways that govern development trials - Design adaptable operational frameworks tailored to each study modality — interventional, observational/non-interventional, and externally sponsored — recognizing that each requires a different operational approach, governance structure, and level of sponsor oversight - Identify talent gaps and partner with HR to address under-resourced areas and elevate capability where roles have been too junior for the complexity of the work - Ensure the model scales with BMS's evolving medical portfolio and can flex as new evidence generation priorities emerge Governance, Compliance & Regulatory Standards: - Establish robust governance frameworks that ensure all medical study operations comply with applicable global and local regulations, ICH guidelines, Good Clinical Practice (GCP), and BMS internal standards - Maintain deep working knowledge of the regulatory and compliance requirements that govern global clinical trials across all three study modalities, including country-specific requirements for non-interventional and real-world evidence studies - Implement standardized — yet adaptable — operational policies and procedures that drive consistency and compliance across the portfolio while preserving the operational flexibility that medical studies require Study Operations Execution & Oversight: - Provide senior oversight of MEG study operations across the full lifecycle, ensuring studies are delivered on time, within scope, and to the highest quality standards - Identify, assess, and mitigate operational risks across the portfolio; implement corrective and preventive actions as needed - Oversee CRO and vendor partnerships, ensuring external partners are aligned to BMS standards, contractual obligations, and quality expectations Strategic Alignment & Leadership: - Represent MEG Operations as an enterprise leader and key decision-maker within the MEG, MAP & RWE Leadership Team, bringing operational strategy, portfolio-level insights, and a cross-therapeutic area perspective to senior leadership discussions - Act as a change agent and organizational architect, setting the vision for how medical operations will evolve at BMS — anticipating future portfolio needs and ensuring the function is always positioned ahead of demand - Partner closely with the Head of MEG, MAP & RWE and the broader Leadership Team to align operational strategy with medical portfolio priorities - Serve as a visible, credible operational leader across the MEG, MAP & RWE organization — someone who can translate high-level strategy into executable operational plans and who earns trust through both expertise and delivery - Champion innovation and continuous improvement, benchmarking BMS MEG operations against industry best practices and driving adoption of digital tools, data platforms, and process enhancements that improve execution speed and data quality We'll output these as
- items.
Qualifications: The posting has "Qualifications" with subparts. We need to capture all.
Educational Background: Degree in a relevant field (e.g., Life Sciences, Medicine, Pharmacy, Clinical Research, or related discipline) required.
Industry Experience: Minimum of 12+ years of experience in the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industry, with significant experience across both drug development and medical/clinical study operations. Minimum of 3-5 years in a ED-equivalent or enterprise leadership role, with direct accountability for building and scaling operational organizations — not solely managing within existing structure.
Operational Model Expertise: Demonstrated track record of building fit-for-purpose operational models from the ground up within large, complex, matrixed, global pharmaceutical or biotech organizations — with proven ability to move fluidly between enterprise strategy and granular operational execution
Study Operations and Regulatory/Compliance Expertise: Deep understanding of drug development processes and the full lifecycle of medical studies. Solid understanding of global and local regulatory frameworks governing medical studies, including GCP, ICH guidelines, and country-specific requirements for non-interventional and real-world evidence studies.
Cross-Portfolio Scope Experience: Experience operating at an enterprise or global level, with accountability that spans multiple therapeutic areas, disease areas, or business units simultaneously — comfortable managing the complexity and competing priorities that come with a cross-portfolio remit
Communication & Influence: Excellent communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills, with a demonstrated ability to influence and align stakeholders across functions and organizational levels.
Also there is a line: "We hire for skills and capabilities, not just credentials – if this role excites you, but doesn’t perfectly match your resume, we encourage you to apply anyway." This could be part of Skills or maybe a note. We'll treat as part of Skills maybe.
Skills: Not explicitly a section but we can infer from Communication & Influence etc. Could create Skills section listing: Excellent communication, presentation, interpersonal skills; ability to influence and align stakeholders; ability to move fluidly between enterprise strategy and granular operational execution; etc. But we already have those in Qualifications. The instruction says we can have Skills section if there is real specific content. The posting does not have a dedicated "Skills" heading but we can extract skills from the qualifications. However we must not invent content; we can list skills that are explicitly mentioned. For example: "Excellent communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills", "demonstrated ability to influence and align stakeholders", "proven ability to move fluidly between enterprise strategy and granular operational execution", "deep understanding of drug development processes", "solid understanding of global and local regulatory frameworks", etc. Those are more like qualifications/experience. Might be better to not create a Skills section and instead put those under Qualifications. The instruction says we can have sections like Skills if there is real specific content. Since the posting does not have a separate Skills heading, but we could still create a Skills section if we extract skill statements. However risk of being considered invented? It's derived from the text, so okay. But we already have Qualifications covering many. To keep simple, we can omit Skills section and just have Qualifications.
Benefits: The posting has a Benefits paragraph: "Subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable plans then in effect, you may be eligible to participate in our comprehensive benefit plans – including wellbeing support, retirement and financial protection benefits, and insurance offerings (medical, dental, vision, life and disability). U.S.-based exempt employees are eligible for Flexible Time Off (FTO), which provides paid time off without a set accrual limit, subject to manager approval, along with 11 paid company holidays each year. Non-exempt employees, RayzeBio employees, and employees located in Puerto Rico receive 160 hours of paid vacation annually for new hires (subject to manager approval), 11 paid company holidays, and 3 optional holidays. Depending on eligibility, employees may also have access to additional time-off benefits, including paid sick leave, up to two paid volunteer days per year, summer hours flexibility, and leaves of absence for medical, personal, parental, caregiver, bereavement, or military needs. Eligible employees also enjoy an annual Global Shutdown between Christmas Day and New Year's Day. U.S.-based job seekers can explore full benefit offerings at https //careers.bms.com/benefits"
We need to output as
