The Executive Director of Cell Therapy Vector Operations will report to the Vice President of CTTO. This role is a key leadership position within the BMS CTDO Division as we prepare to commercialize autologous cellular biologics to overcome tumor evasion and potentially eradicating cancer cells. The role will lead a global team of ~30 technical leaders and process engineers and continuing to grow as we expand our manufacturing footprint and global supply chain. The Vector CTTO team provides technical leadership and oversight of viral vector manufacturing processes from pivotal to post-approval stages as well as for future second generation viral vector processes and non-viral gene delivery platforms.
The CTTO - Vector team is focused on tech transfer of vector manufacturing processes to internal and external manufacturing sites, technical oversight of the CMOs (Contract Manufacturing Operations) producing vectors used in the CAR T process, and life cycle management including process improvements. The team will be a strong partner to the GDE Technical Development team specifically with respect to tech transfers to external or internal manufacturing sites, process characterization, process control system design and process validation. The leader will also oversee a GDE MS&T lab that supports manufacturing troubleshooting, validation and comparability lab-scale studies. The role will be a member of the GMS&T network leadership team and will contribute to and influence cell therapy manufacturing and network strategies, and standards for both the Vector and CAR-T drug product.
The head is expected to hire, develop and grow strong technical talent and provide effective technical and people leadership to the Vector MS&T team. The role will work closely with the GDE Process Development, Quality, External Manufacturing, Supply Chain and CMC lifecycle teams to advance our CAR-T pipeline and establish a manufacturing network. The role will be viewed as a technical thought leader internally and externally in GDE technical community. The next 18-24 month window will require this leader to provide strong focus on ensuring on-time execution of multiple technical projects that are critical supply constraint mitigation for our two approved assets, Abecma and Breyanzi.
