Reporting directly to the Vice President, Head of US Cell Therapy Medical, this leader serves as the primary US medical voice for the MM Cell Therapy franchise — integrating perspectives from across the extended US and Worldwide (WW) matrices with a OneBMS mindset to ensure cross-functional alignment and franchise success. The role requires the depth of scientific expertise, credibility with our external thought leaders, and the leadership composure to operate effectively at the intersection of US commercialization, WW Medical Affairs, and global Clinical Development.

This is a high-visibility, high-impact role at a pivotal moment in the evolution of BMS's Cell Therapy franchise, demanding an individual who can balance strategic vision with flawless operational execution in a complex, matrixed environment.

Lead bidirectional alignment between global strategy and US execution, and provide strategic US input into pipeline development, trial design, and evidence priorities across the MM Cell Therapy portfolio.

  • Drive Cross-Functional Integration with a OneBMS Approach. Lead and align the US Medical Cell Therapy MM execution with the broader BMS hematology narrative and strategy to deliver on cohesive, high-quality medical objectives with accountability for outcomes and budget stewardship.

  • Provide perspectives to the MM Cell Therapy data generation strategy and ensure execution of the US Medical Evidence Generation portfolio. Partner with Medical Evidence Generation, Clinical Development, and WW colleagues to close evidence gaps and advance the integrated evidence plan across marketed products and pipeline assets.

  • Serve as a credible, senior-level external representative of BMS in MM Cell Therapy — engaging thought leaders, cooperative groups, steering committees, and advisory boards to generate insights, shape the evolving treatment paradigm, and drive appropriate adoption of BMS medicines at major academic and community institutions.
