A pioneer in harnessing the immune system to fight cancer, the Bristol Myers Squibb Cell Therapy Organization is working to unlock the full potential of cell therapy and deliver transformative treatments to patients with cancer and beyond. Our work is powered by a high-trust, highly connected ecosystem that brings together Research, Development, Medical, Commercial, Quality, Regulatory, Market Access, and Patient Safety to move with urgency—always anchored on what matters most for patients.
The building blocks of transformation—cutting-edge science and platforms, extensive clinical and real-world datasets, a deep bench of talent across targets and diseases, robust global manufacturing and supply chain capabilities, and a relentless focus on continuous improvement—are _in our cells_. Because cell therapy is built across an end-to-end value chain (from discovery to vein-to-vein delivery), success depends on seamless cross-functional execution across functions, geographies, and areas of expertise.
We know that this vital work cannot be done alone. We partner across a complex and interconnected ecosystem—including investigators, clinical sites, apheresis and transplant centers, community treaters, payers, regulators, and patient advocacy organizations—to help ensure patients can access cell therapies safely, reliably, and equitably.
The Executive Director, Medical Communications Lead is the Cell Therapy Medical (CT Medical) owner of external scientific communications and publication governance for the Cell Therapy portfolio and a strategic partner to cross-functional leaders across the end-to-end cell therapy value chain. Reporting into the SVP, Head Cell Therapy Medical, this role is accountable for end‑to‑end scientific disclosure—ensuring timely, compliant, and high‑quality dissemination of data through publications, congresses, scientific content, and selected reactive communications—while aligning communications to CT Medical strategy, integrated evidence generation plans, and operational realities (e.g., manufacturing, quality, and supply). The role serves as a steward of reputational, journal, investigator, and compliance risk for CT Medical and drives continuous improvement in governance, best practices, and operating models to enable an integrated, high-performing Cell Therapy Medical ecosystem.
