• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Statistics, Biostatistics, Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related scientific discipline; or a combination of education, training and experience to effectively perform the job functions.
• 5+ years of statistical programming experience within the pharmaceutical, biotech, or CRO industry, preferably with prior experience in CNS trials.
• Experience leading programming efforts for clinical trials, including dataset development, TLF production, and QC oversight.
• Advanced proficiency in SAS, with hands-on experience using CDISC SDTM and ADaM standards.
• Experience with R or Python for data manipulation, automation, or reporting is highly valued, though not required.
• Experience with regulatory submissions and standards, including Pinnacle 21, define.xml, and reviewer’s guides.
• Experience working in a remote, team-based environment and comfortable with virtual collaboration tools.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, and able to explain technical concepts to non-programmers and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Strong interpersonal and teamwork skills, with a collaborative mindset and the ability to work independently and prioritize across multiple projects.
• High attention to detail, with a focus on quality, reproducibility, and traceability in all deliverables (analysis datasets and output).
• Demonstrated ability to follow standard operating procedures (SOPs), adhere to project timelines, and contribute to continuous improvement of programming processes.
• Proactive problem-solver and critical thinker with a willingness to adapt and thrive in a growing, fast-paced CRO environment.
• Able to manage multi-tasks and priorities in a fast-paced, dynamic environment with shifting timelines and evolving sponsor needs.
• Able to make complex programming and data-related decisions independently.
• Able to anticipate analytical needs, understand downstream impacts of programming decisions, and proactively identify gaps in data and specifications
• Comfortable working across functional teams (e.g., clinical, data management, biostatistics, medical writing) and shifting between strategic and tactical tasks quickly.
• Must demonstrate flexibility and adaptability — able to pivot between tasks, troubleshoot issues efficiently, and take initiative in a small, collaborative team setting
