Your Work Will Directly Shape How Clinical Trials Move Forward

If you're someone who loves turning complex clinical protocols into precise, compliant financial frameworks and you want to see the direct impact of your work in how trials are set up and run globally, this role puts you right at the centre of that process.

At Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS), you won't just be building spreadsheets. You'll be a key player in making sure investigative sites are fairly funded, negotiations are grounded in solid financial insight and clinical studies can move forward without financial roadblocks.

This is a role where your financial precision directly enables clinical research. If that kind of purpose-driven work appeals to you, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Be Doing (and Why It Matters)

• Building investigator grant and site budgets from the ground up Using approved templates, cost grids, and your own deep reading of the study protocol, you'll create budgets that are accurate, compliant, and ready to support fast, confident negotiations, giving sites and study teams the clarity they need from day one.
• Analysing protocol-specific cost drivers From visit frequency and patient burden to country-specific considerations and procedural intensity, your analysis will ensure no cost is overlooked, meaning fewer surprises downstream and smoother trial execution.
• Exercising real decision-making authority You'll have genuine ownership over how procedures and costs are mapped. This isn't a role where everything gets escalated upward , you'll make calls within approved frameworks and only escalate true exceptions. That's a real level of professional trust.
• Applying Fair Market Value (FMV) principles and governance rules Your work keeps BMS compliant and consistent across regions, which means you're directly protecting the integrity of trials that could one day help patients.
• Preparing and releasing country-specific budget outputs The budgets you validate and export are what Contract Specialists and CRO partners take into negotiations, your accuracy is what makes those conversations credible and efficient.
• Collaborating across Finance, Compliance, Clinical Ops, Study Teams, and Site Contracting You'll be a go-to resource for interpreting protocol nuances and resolving budget questions, building cross-functional relationships that strengthen your professional network and visibility within the organisation.
• Maintaining audit-ready documentation and version control Your organisation and attention to detail will mean the team is always inspection-ready,  a skill that's genuinely valued and recognised in regulated environments like clinical trials.
• Supporting budget-to-actual variance analysis By identifying cost deviations early, you'll help study teams course-correct before small issues become big problems, a tangible contribution to trial financial health.
• Contributing to process improvement initiatives You'll have a real voice here. When you spot recurring challenges in protocol-driven budgeting, you're encouraged to flag them and propose solutions, helping shape how the team works, not just executing within it.
• Providing scenario-based modelling and benchmarking support Working with standardised tools, you'll develop a broader view of cost patterns across studies, insights that add real depth to your financial expertise over time.

What You'll Bring to the Role

• Clinically grounded financial expertise You understand clinical study protocols — schedules of assessments, visit structures, procedural flow and you can translate that understanding into accurate, costed budget components. That's a rare combination.
• Knowledge of investigator grants, site budgeting, and FMV You're comfortable working within financial compliance frameworks and applying them consistently across geographies.
• Strong analytical thinking You can look at a complex protocol and see the cost story within it then communicate that clearly to colleagues who may not share your financial lens.
• Excel proficiency and familiarity with budgeting tools Pivot tables, formulas, and budget databases are second nature to you.
• Precision and process discipline You take SOPs and templates seriously not because you have to, but because you understand why accuracy and compliance matter in this environment.
• Clear communication in a cross-functional, multinational setting You're comfortable navigating different teams, time zones, and perspectives to get the right outcome.

Your Qualifications and Experience

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Finance, Economics, Business Administration, or a related field
• 2–5 years of experience in investigator grant or site budget development within pharma or a CRO
• Experience with clinical trial budget governance is a definite plus

Additional Information

• Occasional travel, up to 10%, for regional strategy meetings and cross-functional collaboration.
• 50% hybrid working
