About this role

Working at Bristol Myers Squibb means challenging, meaningful, life-changing work that transforms patients' lives and careers. Uniquely interesting work happens every day, from optimizing production lines to breakthroughs in cell therapy. Grow through opportunities uncommon in scale and scope alongside high-achieving teams.

Chemical Process Development (CPD) scientists design novel syntheses from raw materials to supply new medicines to patients. They develop safe, economical, sustainable, robust processes for clinical trials and launches across small molecules, peptides, oligonucleotides, and antibody drug conjugates. Work is driven by innovative science, data-driven decisions, and collaborative teamwork.

The role involves route scouting, designing, and implementing safe, efficient chemical processes for drug candidates. Execute experiments aligned with portfolio strategy, analyze data, and share with project teams and management. Collaborate with analytical chemistry and engineering teams to develop knowledge and controls for clinical materials.

Build fundamental process knowledge to transition processes from labs to clinical supply, regulatory filings, and manufacturing vendors. Enable regulatory filings with scientific knowledge from manufacturing processes, design parameters, and control strategies. Bring novel medicines to patients worldwide through robust supply chains.

Bristol Myers Squibb offers balance and flexibility in the work environment. A wide variety of benefits, services, and programs provide resources to pursue goals at work and in personal lives.
