An HBCU graduate and early-career woman with a young family, Ariel\u2019s current position where she splits time between her home in New York and the BMS Lawrenceville, NJ office, cuts down on commuting time which opens up more family time as well as participation in BMS\u2019 Black Organization for Leadership and Development (BOLD) and teaching the occasional Pilates class after work \u2014 all while achieving success and fulfillment at BMS in under five years.<\/p>\n<p>In her undergraduate chemistry studies prior to joining BMS, Ariel found herself leaning toward med school, but after two internships and a job with a major consulting firm, her interest in the healthcare\/hospital patient setting along with the business side of healthcare grew. \u201cI felt the bio-pharma industry, and supply chain in particular, was the perfect combination for me \u2014 being on the clinical, natural science side of things combined with the business of healthcare,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>The BMS Rotational Development Program: Hands-On Training<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>An MBA brought her closer to her goal, which then culminated in a career conference when she was close to finishing. \u201cI attended the National Black MBA Conference, which is huge,\u201d Ariel said. \u201cBMS had a booth and I learned about a lot of the Rotational Development Programs that exist \u2014 so many different options for new graduates. I applied then and there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ariel\u2019s Rotational Program consisted of four rotations, each one lasting six to eight months.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI was supporting the Global Product Development and Supply organization,\u201d she said. \u201cMy four rotations were manufacturing science &amp; technology, manufacturing operations, supply chain, and procurement. It was a great intro to the business. Upon successful graduation, you can take a full-time role in one of the rotations you did or a different role in something that you&#8217;ve discovered along the way. I chose Continuous Improvement supporting cell therapy and came in as a senior manager.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h4><strong>Moving Up Quickly and Organically<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Ariel\u2019s career growth opportunities at BMS were just getting started. After just under two years in her senior manager role, she earned a promotion to her current position as an associate director, moving from cell therapy to the global development organization, highlighting the different avenues open for exploration at BMS.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWorking in cell therapy was an experience I would recommend to anyone,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd now, I\u2019m supporting our clinical trials organization, which falls under research &amp; development. I\u2019m closer to the science, but now mixed with project and change management. And any project I work on now, I\u2019m thinking globally as opposed to just locally.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Different Objectives Make Scheduled Hybrid Days More Productive<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>And yet, with an increased role and responsibilities, Ariel appreciates the flexibility still offered, which allows her to live a full life as well as supporting her professional growth. \u201cFlexibility helps people to be more present in their lives and get the most out of their work lives,\u201d she said. \u201cThat\u2019s a huge piece of my life right now, and my schedule helps balance daycare for my two-year-old with commute times.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-5207\" src=\"https:\/\/staging-careers.bms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Vector-3.png\" alt=\"Brainstorming icon\" width=\"218\" height=\"192\" \/>Days spent in the office can often have different objectives than days at home, but to Ariel, the productivity level is the same if things are planned out efficiently and smartly. \u201cIt can differ week to week, but then again, that\u2019s part of the flexibility, too,\u201d she added. \u201cI like the collaboration between colleagues when we\u2019re in-person. But there are also many individual projects that I need to get squared away, and I find the home office time very productive for that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ariel also noted that the flexibility afforded from the hybrid scheduling lets her participate in many in-office opportunities with the BMS People Business Resource Groups (PBRGs) and working with colleagues face-to-face. That allows her to pay forward a lot of the mentoring that she has benefited from.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Growing Personally and Professionally<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>\u201cMentorship and the diversity I experience when involved in that are a big part of my life, whether working with students who are attending HBCUs, or working with my colleagues in PBRGs doing projects that support our communities,&#8221; Ariel said. &#8220;Transferrable skills are important as well, and I\u2019ve grown as a person and an employee with skills I\u2019ve developed in our PBRGs that I use every day. You leave work energized and come back to work excited, and hybrid scheduling plays a role in that. I\u2019m still exploring all the opportunities available at BMS.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent study found that for the first time since the study had been conducted, work flexibility was the number one reason to job hunt in 2023, equal with career growth opportunities.
