Senior Scientist, Market Life Stability

The medicine is approved. Your work is just beginning.

Most people think the hard part of drug development is getting a medicine to market. And theyre not wrong - its enormously complex. But heres something that doesnt get talked about enough: keeping that medicine on the market in the hands of patients who depend on it every day is just as critical.

Thats exactly what the Market Life Stability team at Bristol Myers Squibb does. And right now were looking for a Senior Scientist to help lead it.

This is a role for someone who takes quiet but genuine pride in doing things properly because in this space doing things properly is what ensures patients continue to receive medicines that are safe effective and exactly what theyre supposed to be.

What youll actually be doing

Youll be a senior technical voice within our Market Life Stability (MLS) team at our Moreton UK site providing scientific oversight and compliance leadership across commercial stability programmes for products that are already in patients hands.

In practice that means:

• Reviewing and approving analytical data - applying your scientific judgement to ensure results are sound compliant and documented to the standard our patients and regulators rightly expect
• Leading laboratory investigations - when something doesnt look right youll be the person who figures out why defines the corrective action and makes sure it doesnt happen again
• Supporting analytical technology transfers - guiding the technical readiness troubleshooting the unexpected and following through until the transfer is truly complete
• Owning and maintaining controlled documentation - SOPs work instructions job aids - keeping them accurate compliant and genuinely useful for the people who rely on them
• Driving continuous improvement - identifying where we can work smarter more efficiently or more compliantly and then actually leading the change
• Mentoring and guiding your colleagues - scientists contractors apprentices - sharing what you know and raising the capability of the team around you
• Representing MLS in cross-functional forums - because your technical expertise matters beyond the lab walls and your perspective shapes how the wider organisation makes decisions

Whats in it for you Lets be specific.

• Genuine senior ownership - not just a title This is a role with real accountability. Youll review and approve data lead investigations and represent your team externally. If youve been waiting for the step up from executing someone elses decisions to being the person whose judgement others rely on - this is that step.
• Technical depth across the full stability lifecycle Commercial stability is rich technically demanding territory. Youll work across analytical testing method transfers quality systems deviation management and regulatory inspection readiness - all within a GMP environment where the standards are high and the details really matter. Your skills wont narrow here; theyll deepen.
• Regulatory experience that opens doors Audit and inspection readiness is a core part of this role - not a once-a-year scramble but an embedded part of how the team operates. Building fluency in regulatory expectations data integrity and GMP documentation at this level is a genuine career asset that travels with you wherever you go next.
• The tools to do the job properly Youll work with industry-standard systems - Biovia Workbook Biovia LES Empower LIMS - in a well-established analytical operation. If youre already proficient in these youll hit the ground running. If there are gaps youll have the environment and support to grow into them.
• The chance to actually lead people not just tasks Mentoring scientists supporting apprentices influencing cross-functional teams - this role gives you a real opportunity to invest in the people around you and see the results. For those who care about building teams as much as solving problems that matters.
• Work that connects to real patients Commercial stability isnt abstract. The products you support are on pharmacy shelves and in patients homes right now. When you uphold quality here youre upholding a promise to real people. Thats the kind of context that makes the detail-oriented compliance-focused work genuinely meaningful.

Is this you

• Youll have a degree in chemistry pharmaceutical sciences analytical sciences or a related discipline - alongside significant experience in a GMP analytical laboratory or pharmaceutical quality environment.
• You understand pharmaceutical analysis and stability testing from the inside out. Youve led investigations navigated quality systems and worked with the kind of documentation standards that mean what you write could one day be read by a regulator.
• You communicate clearly - with scientists and with stakeholders who arent. You influence without needing authority. You hold yourself to a high standard and bring others with you.
• Experience with analytical method transfers is a bonus. A genuine commitment to data integrity patient safety and getting things right - non-negotiable.
