Job Description

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.

Accountabilities

• Specialized-level role that requires depth and/or breadth of expertise in own discipline.

• Serves as an expert resource on functional teams or projects. Projects may focus on continuous improvement or development of new approaches or technologies.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the implementation and ongoing maintenance of BMS's AI governance framework, including archetype-based control models covering risk classification, control objectives, implementation patterns, and acceptable evidence standards.

• Conduct structured risk assessments of AI and GenAI tools being considered for enterprise adoption, evaluating each against BMS's risk appetite, security standards, and regulatory obligations prior to deployment approval.

• Execute AI risk and conformity assessments aligned to EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, and applicable global privacy regulations (GDPR, EDPB, state-level AI laws), including risk classification for use cases across Clinical, Commercial, and R&D domains.

• Assess GenAI tools and LLM deployments — including Claude (via AWS Bedrock), ChatGPT, and other third-party services — for data privacy, contractual, and data residency implications; document findings and escalate issues as appropriate.

• Partner with business and technology stakeholders to document and track controls for approved AI technologies, ensuring controls are practical, embedded in workflows, and aligned to identified risks.

• Execute control testing activities for AI-specific controls, including pre-deployment validation, post-deployment effectiveness testing, and periodic re-assessments; document results, gaps, and remediation plans and track findings through to closure.

• Maintain GRC platform records (ServiceNow, OneTrust) for AI risk assessments, control testing results, and issue tracking, ensuring data quality and audit readiness at all times.

• Prepare risk assessment summaries, control testing reports, and governance dashboards to support leadership reporting and stakeholder communications.

• Monitor the evolving AI regulatory landscape — including EU AI Act developments, NIST updates, and emerging state-level AI laws — and summarize implications for BMS programs.

• Support the tracking and assessment of risks from next-generation AI capabilities including agentic AI, multi-modal GenAI, synthetic data pipelines, and quantum-accelerated inference.
