About The Position
The Field HEOR Scientist is part of the U.S. Health Economics & Outcomes Research organization and works within a field matrix team to engage access organizations and decision-makers in assigned accounts. The role combines technical expertise in health economics and outcomes research with knowledge of U.S. healthcare business models to support medication access decisions. It is field-based and focuses on large national GPO, Network Aggregator, and Pathway customers. It has both an internal-facing research component, conducted as part of a cross-functional matrix team, and a field-facing role leading clinical engagement with key access customers. The position leads health economics and outcomes research for therapeutic areas, works with home-office medical teams to develop and disseminate evidence about the medical value of BMS assets, and helps shape research strategy in response to payer insights. Field activities focus on relevant accounts, including regional managed care organizations and integrated delivery networks, to support appropriate patient access, medical policy, coverage, and reimbursement. The role also builds customer relationships, shares scientific and health-economic information, gathers marketplace insights, and leads projects that affect the broader field and home-office HEOR organizations.

Offers are contingent on meeting BMS's Qualified Driver requirements, including being at least 21 years old, holding a valid driver's license in good standing, and having a driving-risk level the company deems acceptable.
