The Opportunity
At Bristol Myers Squibb, we transform patients' lives through science — and great learning transforms the people who make that possible. We are looking for a talented Learning Manager to join our International Commercialisation Learning team, a high-impact function within our global Worldwide Commercialisation Learning (WWCL) organisation.
This is a role for someone who thinks strategically, builds collaboratively and delivers with purpose. You will shape how our UK/Ireland commercial field force learns, grows and performs — directly influencing the expertise and capabilities that drive meaningful patient outcomes.
What You Will Do
You will own the end-to-end learning agenda for UK/Ireland commercial teams, working across Business Units to design, deliver and continuously improve training programmes that are innovative, effective and business-aligned. Your remit will span:
Developing and executing strategic learning plans across all UK/Ireland Business Units
Designing and delivering training covering disease state, clinical knowledge, product launches, selling skills, coaching and capability building
Building and evolving learning curricula for field teams and first-line managers, both at induction and at advanced levels
Acting as a strategic business partner to senior stakeholders, aligning learning solutions to commercial priorities
Leveraging global resources from the WWCL Centre of Excellence to drive integrated, scalable training with minimal adaptation
Measuring programme effectiveness using the Kirkpatrick Model and applying insights to continuously raise the bar
Championing innovative adult learning methodologies and digital platforms to accelerate skill development
Collaborating with Learning Managers across international markets and project managing key global learning initiatives locally
Who You Will Work With
Reporting to the Commercialisation Learning Lead for UK/Ireland, CEE and TIMER, you will partner with a broad matrix of stakeholders including Sales Management, Marketing, Strategy and Operations, HR, Medical, and external vendors — bringing people together to deliver learning that makes a real difference.
What You Bring
A Bachelor's degree or equivalent; an advanced degree (MBA, PharmD or similar) is strongly preferred
5+ years of pharmaceutical experience, with a proven track record in field learning development and execution
Experience designing and delivering learning strategies and programmes in a commercial setting
Solid grounding in adult learning principles and instructional design
Strong stakeholder management, facilitation and communication skills, with the ability to influence at all levels including senior leadership
A project management mindset — organised, detail-oriented and comfortable managing multiple priorities simultaneously
Curiosity, creativity and a drive to innovate in response to an ever-evolving business environment
Experience working with external vendors and agencies
A valid passport and willingness to travel occasionally (less than 10%)
