Position Summary

The TAIP Principal Analyst is a mid-senior level role within Bristol Myers Squibb’s Trial Analytics, Insights, and Planning (TAIP) organization — an internal consulting team focused on accelerating clinical development through advanced analytics and strategic trial planning.

In this role, you will lead end-to-end analytics delivery for one or more clinical trials, managing a global project team of 3–5 Analysts and Senior Analysts. Embedded within the study team, you will serve as the key analytics partner, translating trial needs into data-driven strategies, coordinating feasibility, forecasting, and performance tracking, and driving informed decision-making throughout execution.

You will apply a strong foundation in both clinical trial science and applied analytics — from understanding protocol design and patient population logic to developing and interpreting forecasting models, dashboards, and operational metrics. You will also contribute to integrating insights from various sources—including recruitment strategies, social media, and field-based inputs—while supporting study design decisions informed by cost and optimization analytics.

This is an ideal opportunity for professionals with backgrounds in consulting, clinical operations, or trial analytics who are ready to take ownership of delivery and help shape the success of global studies.

• Engage directly with cross-functional study team members (clinical, feasibility, ops, TA leads), ensuring alignment and scientific rigor in all analytics

• Contribute to cost analysis efforts, including evaluating country mix and protocol design trade-offs

• Lead study optimization analytics, including assessment of patient and site burden, competitive trial landscape, and other key data sources

• Coordinate with field-based teams to incorporate on-the-ground insights into feasibility and site strategy

• Utilize advanced analytics tools and platforms to generate, structure, and communicate trial data

• Support planning and forecasting activities with implications for clinical supply, patient flow, and site-level requirements

• Ensure consistency and scalability in tools, assumptions, and outputs across trials and teams

• Escalate risks and identify opportunities to accelerate trial execution using data-driven insights

• Provide relevant data and insights to support clinical supply team, ensuring alignment between clinical planning and supply chain requirements

• Applies critical thinking to analyze complex data, challenge assumptions, and generate strategic, evidence-based recommendations

Qualifications & Experience

• Education: Preferred advanced degree (MBA, MSc, MPH, PharmD, PhD, or equivalent) in a relevant field

• Experience:

  • 6–8+ years of experience in clinical analytics, management consulting, or trial strategy is required

  • Prior exposure to clinical trial delivery processes and data-driven decision making

  • Strong therapeutic area knowledge in one or more of: Oncology, Neuroscience, Cell Therapy, Hematology, Immunology, or Cardiovascular

  • Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams and manage multiple priorities

• Skills:

  • Strong structured problem-solving and communication abilities

  • Experience with analytics tools (e.g., Excel, PowerBI, R, Python) a plus

  • Comfort working in fast-paced, matrixed environments with global teams

Why Join This Team?

• Own End-to-End Delivery: Take full accountability for analytics execution across high-impact global trials

• Lead and Develop Talent: Manage and mentor a global team of high-performing analysts and senior analysts
