  • Partner closely with Statisticians, Data Management, Clinical Operations, Medical Monitoring, and Medical Writing.
  • Participate in review of key study documents (e.g., SAPs, CRFs, DMPs, database specs, DMC charters).
  • Serve as a programming point of contact for internal teams and external CRO partners.
  • Process, Compliance & Quality

  • Drive best practices and continuous improvement initiatives, including SOP development and CDISC implementation.
  • Understanding of regulatory and compliance standards relevant to data analysis in pharma (e.g., GxP, data integrity, audit readiness)
  • Team Leadership

  • Lead and mentor statistical programming staff and oversee CRO / vendor programmers.
  • May oversee or manage a programming team responsible for study-level and project-level deliverables.
  • Innovation & Modernization Initiatives

  • Lead the continued evolution of our computing environment to incorporate automated workflows, modular code, and modern visualization tools.
  • Drive initiatives for leveraging programming software such as R and R shiny, python, and open-source environments to enable dynamic data exploration.
  • Champion reproducible pipelines using tools such as Git, Quarto, and R Markdown.
  • Contribute to internal packages, re-usable code libraries, and process automation to accelerate insights and submissions.
  • Explore GenAI, AI / ML applications that will optimize workflow and evolve evidence insight generations
  • The Ideal Candidate :

  • Advanced degree (MS or PhD) in statistics, computer science, life sciences, or a related field strongly preferred, with a minimum of 8–10 years of statistical programming experience in drug development.
  • Extensive experience leading programming support for global regulatory submissions (FDA, EMA, CDE).
