What if your code helped save a life? It sounds dramatic - but that's exactly what's at stake here. So, what will you actually be doing? You'll be the programming expert that clinical project teams rely on. The person who takes complex, messy clinical data and turns it into clear, submission-ready outputs that regulators trust. You'll design and implement technical solutions that directly influence whether a medicine moves forward - or doesn't.

What's in it for you - really?

• Real regulatory impact - You'll lead and support electronic submissions for significant regulatory filings. Your name, your work, your standards will be part of clinical packages that go in front of global health authorities. That's career-defining experience.
• Technical depth + strategic influence - This isn't a heads-down programming role. You'll review statistical analysis plans, shape programming strategy, and advise senior stakeholders on risk and resolution. You'll be in the room where decisions get made.
• The chance to build and shape a team - If you've been waiting for the opportunity to lead, mentor, and develop other technical professionals, this is it. You'll set objectives, coach in real time, and help talented programmers grow - leaving a legacy that outlasts any single project.
• Work that matters at scale - BMS is a global leader in oncology, hematology, immunology, and cardiovascular disease. The trials you support aren't hypothetical - they're actively changing the standard of care for patients around the world.
• A platform to drive change - You'll be empowered to identify inefficiencies, lead improvement initiatives, and influence the future of how statistical programming operates at BMS. If you have ideas, there's a culture here that wants to hear them.

You’ll thrive here if you...

• Have 7+ years of statistical programming experience in the pharmaceutical or biopharma industry, including hands-on involvement in major regulatory submissions
• Are deeply fluent in SAS, CDISC/SDTM/ADaM standards, and the end-to-end clinical data pipeline
• Understand the full drug development lifecycle - from eDC data collection through to TFLs and e-submission components
• Can hold your own in a room full of statisticians, clinicians, and regulatory experts
• Are proactive about spotting problems before they become crises - and confident enough to communicate them clearly
• Hold a degree in Statistics, Biostatistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or Life Sciences

Bonus points if you've already led or managed a team of technical professionals - but if you haven't yet, this role is built to get you there.

Why BMS? Because this isn't just a job. It's a chance to apply your most advanced technical skills to a mission that genuinely matters. You'll join a team where your expertise is valued, your voice is heard, and your work has consequences you can actually feel proud of. We hire people who are serious about their craft - and then we give them the tools, the team, and the trust to do their best work.
