Working with Us
Challenging. Meaningful. Life-changing. Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) offers work that transforms patients’ lives and the careers of those who do it. Opportunities to grow and thrive with high-achieving teams across the organization.

BMS recognizes balance and flexibility in our work environment with a variety of benefits, services and programs to support employees in pursuing goals at work and in personal lives.

The primary role of the Medical Science Liaison (MSL) is to engage in meaningful peer-to-peer scientific dialogue with healthcare system leaders within a defined geography to translate science into patient care. The MSL captures medical insights and acts as a clinical & scientific advisor to BMS internal cross-functional partners, ensuring interactions align with enterprise and medical strategies and support patient access to BMS medicines.

The MSL will address scientific questions beyond approved assets and indications as needed. Engagement with HCPs is focused on peri-launch activities or lifecycle needs of the brand.

The MSL will engage in educational dialogue with relevant HCPs, sharing clinical evidence based on physicians’ needs and in accordance with the field medical plan. The MSL may serve on a scheduled basis as “Medical on Call” to answer unsolicited off-label and technically complex questions in real time, virtually with the TAS (Therapeutic Area Specialist).

This role is field-based; it is anticipated that the employee will spend >90% of time in the field interacting with external stakeholders, while supporting internal stakeholders and maintaining a high level of therapeutic expertise.
