Director, Drug Development AI Nexus Decision Integration Lead

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.

AI Nexus Integration & Embedded Workflow Redesign

• Translate Drug Development strategic priorities, business requirements, and decision-making needs into scalable business capabilities, AI-enabled workflows, data requirements, and AI Nexus roadmap priorities.
• Serve as the Drug Development anchor for the AI Nexus platform, translating the AI Nexus vision into executable workflows embedded directly in Global Program Teams (GPTs) and governance forums
• Map, prioritize, and redesign key Drug Development decision points — from Phase transition and regulatory milestone reviews to portfolio-level governance — to leverage AI Nexus-enabled evidence, agentic analysis, and learning loops
• Partner with AI Nexus Product Leadership (BI&T) and Platform Engineering teams to communicate Drug Development decision needs and ensure the platform is built and iterated to serve them
• Operate as an “embedded translator” between Drug Development operational and clinical needs and AI Nexus technical capabilities — converting ambiguous decision problems into structured, AI-ready workflow requirements with defined data requirements

Change Leadership & Adoption

• Drive AI Nexus adoption across Drug Development through demonstrated value in live GPTs and culture-driven change management — not through mandates or training-first approaches
• Build and sustain a network of Drug Development champions, GPT leads, and functional stakeholders who actively use and shape Nexus workflows
• Develop and execute adoption strategies tailored to Drug Development archetypes — study teams, clinicians, program leaders, and executive leaders — recognizing that each group engages with agentic systems and data differently
• Serve as a visible change agent for the broader evolution of Drug Development toward an agentic operating model, demonstrating what AI-augmented ways of working look like in practice
• Actively contribute to the AI Nexus SteerCo and cross-functional working groups, ensuring Drug Development priorities are reflected in platform roadmap and investment decisions

Operating Model & Continuous Improvement

• Help define and operationalize an AI-native Drug Development operating model, embedding AI-enabled decision support, governance integration, learning systems, and workflow standards across development processes.
• Design scalable frameworks that can extend from GPT-level integration to broader Drug Development governance and cross-TA portfolio processes
• Track and report on AI Nexus adoption, impact, and return across Drug Development functions; ensure metrics align to decision quality, speed and portfolio outcomes, and use data to drive prioritization and course correction
• Contribute to the broader DD vision of operational excellence — where quality, speed, and efficiency are produced as outcomes of an integrated, intelligence-driven system
