Reporting to the Executive Director, Cell Therapy Multiple Myeloma, the Director, WW Medical, MM Portfolio will lead the high-visibility medical initiatives that span the MM CAR T portfolio.

Instead, it makes sure the MM CAR T medical strategy is carried through consistently into congress activities, external expert engagement, content for markets, and cross-market governance forums.

The Director will work closely with colleagues across Portfolio Strategy, Medical Communications, Project Management, Hematology Medical, asset leads and local markets. They will need a working command of the strategy for each MM asset, the ability to influence without authority, and the discipline to move several workstreams forward independently while staying closely aligned with the Executive Director and asset leads.

• Own the Launchpad as the central repository for market-facing medical content, and keep it current, accurate and aligned with approved strategy.
• Coordinate content for cross-market forums (AIMS, MM CAR and FIRE calls) in partnership with Project Management and other relevant functions, so the meetings advance portfolio priorities and support consistent execution.

Hematology Medical Partnership: Serve as the main point of contact between MM Cell Therapy and Heme Medical teams, promoting alignment, knowledge sharing and a unified BMS presence in multiple myeloma

Strategic Pull-Through and Alignment: Build a working command of the MM CAR T portfolio strategy and messaging, and make sure cross-portfolio deliverables reflect it even when you aren't the project owner.

• Partner with asset leads and workstream owners to flag misalignment, risks and decision points early.
• Keep the Executive Director and asset leads aligned on progress and priorities.
