We are seeking a highly organized and detail-oriented Grants & Sponsorships Manager to oversee the day-to-day operations, documentation, and governance of Independent Medical Education (IME) grants and Medical Affairs-led Sponsorships at Blueprint Medicines. This is a contract position embedded within the Medical Affairs Operational Excellence & Strategic Planning team and includes direct reporting directly to the Associate Director of Program Management.
The ideal candidate will bring a strong foundation in Medical Affairs operations, with demonstrated expertise in managing non-promotional, HCP-directed medical education grants and scientific sponsorships within a highly regulated environment. Success in this role requires exceptional project management skills, attention to detail, and fluency in cross-functional collaboration – particularly with Legal, Compliance, Finance, and Medical Strategy. The candidate must be well-versed in relevant industry codes and internal SOPs, and capable of independently navigating documentation workflows, systems oversight, and the governance processes that ensure funding decisions are strategic, transparent, and fully compliant.
What will you do?

Coordinate submission reviews across Global, U.S., and International Medical Affairs teams, ensuring adherence to defined timelines (e.g., 45-day review windows).
Partner with cross-functional stakeholders to evaluate strategic alignment with regional and global medical plans.
Systems & Compliance Oversight
Process and track submissions using electronic platforms. Ex. Veeva
Ensure proper classification of grants (e.g., accredited vs. non-accredited), completion of due diligence (e.g., debarment/exclusion screenings), and documentation of funding decisions.
Support contracting workflows by collaborating with Legal Contracting to finalize Letters of Agreement (LOAs) and amendments.
Monitor program delivery for alignment with industry standards for evidence-based, fair, and balanced content per policy guidelines.
Lead or support reconciliation efforts post-event to confirm proper fund usage, metrics reporting, and return of unused funds (as applicable).
Strategic Planning & Reporting
Contribute to the annual Medical Affairs strategic planning process, including review of therapeutic area needs, budget forecasting, and area-of-interest development.
Develop standardized templates, checklists, and operational procedures to drive efficiency and consistency across grant and sponsorship reviews.
