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 Director, Development Planning Systems & Tools is a senior business leader who owns the strategy, standards, and roadmap for the systems and tools that Program Managers and Global Program Teams (GPTs) use to plan, monitor, and manage drug development programs in alignment with their Integrated Asset Development Plans (IADPs) and Integrated Project Execution Strategy (IPES).
This role sits within the business and acts as the senior business partner and demand owner to BI&T, translating Program Management and portfolio needs into a coherent technology and process strategy that BI&T and other technical partners execute against.
The Director is accountable for the end-to-end planning tools portfolio — including ePlan, adjacent and successor platforms, and any current or emerging system used to build, integrate, and maintain development plans — and for ensuring that portfolio evolves in step with how Program Managers actually plan and manage work against their IADPs and IPES. This is a highly visible role that shapes how planning discipline, data quality, and digital innovation (including AI) show up across the development portfolio, and it carries direct accountability for a team of tool and process owners.
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.
