Job Description

We are the makers of possible.

BD is one of the largest global medical technology companies in the world. Advancing the world of health™ is our Purpose, and it takes the imagination and passion of all of us to look at the impossible and find transformative solutions that turn dreams into possibilities. The Global Business Services (GBS) team helps drive BD forward by seeking out and implementing innovative ways to operate effectively and efficiently.

We are seeking a Senior Director to lead a major enterprise program within GBS and to serve as a trusted partner to the EVP, GBS Lead. This is a hybrid, high-impact role that combines two responsibilities: leading the enterprise program end-to-end (Enterprise Program Leadership) and strengthening how the GBS leadership team operates (Chief of Staff).

Reporting to the EVP, GBS, the role sits at the center of execution, governance and value — turning strategic intent into delivered outcomes and benefits. Success requires strong program-delivery discipline, executive presence, and the judgment to influence and align a broad set of senior stakeholders across a global, matrixed organization.

Scope

Remit:  End-to-end leadership of the enterprise program and the operating rhythm and governance of the GBS leadership team.

Reach:  Global GBS, across functional towers, delivery-center regions and partner functions (e.g., Finance, IT, HR).

Key Interfaces:  EVP, GBS; GBS functional tower and regional leaders; workstream leads; Finance; BU leaders and function heads; enterprise leadership, board and executive-committee forums.

Key Responsibilities

1.  Enterprise Program Leadership   (70%)

• Lead end-to-end delivery of the enterprise program — own the roadmap, milestones, interdependencies and outcomes across workstreams and functions.

• Establish and run program governance and cadence: steering committees, workstream reviews, status reporting and decision forums.

• Drive execution — mobilize workstream leads, remove blockers, and manage risks, issues and dependencies, holding owners accountable to plan.

• Align senior stakeholders across functions, regions and BUs on scope, sequencing and adoption.

• Lead change management and readiness so program outcomes are adopted and sustained.

• Report program health and value realization to leadership; escalate deviations with clear options and recommendations.

2.  Chief of Staff   (30%)

• Own the operating rhythm and governance of the GBS leadership team — the operating calendar, agendas, pre-reads, decision logs and action follow-through.

• Prepare the EVP for enterprise leadership, board and executive-committee engagements.

• Coordinate the response to significant stakeholder escalations, convening the right owners without assuming their delivery accountability.

• Onboard senior leaders into the team, and represent the EVP in selected forums by explicit delegation.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, Engineering, or a related field; advanced degree (e.g., MBA) preferred.

• 12+ years of progressive experience, including senior leadership of large, cross-functional enterprise programs or transformations — ideally within GBS / shared services or a Global Capability Center.

• Proven delivery of complex programs on time and on benefit.

• Experience in a chief-of-staff or business-operations capacity supporting a senior executive is a strong plus.

• Excellent executive communication and stakeholder-management skills across a global, matrixed organization.

• High degree of discretion, judgment and integrity in handling confidential and sensitive matters.

Preferred Skills

• Experience in healthcare, life sciences, or a similarly regulated industry.

• Program / project certification (e.g., PMP) and / or continuous-improvement credentials (Lean, Six Sigma).

• Familiarity with GBS / shared-services operating models, functional towers and delivery-center operations.

• Comfort with program-reporting and MI tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau).
