  • Implement efficient processes, templates, and standards to maximize quality and productivity in a resource‑constrained environment.
  • Proactively troubleshoot and provide technical solutions for complex programming challenges.

    • Collaboration & Oversight

  • Partner closely with Biostatistics, Data Management, Clinical, and Regulatory teams to ensure alignment and timely delivery.
  • Manage and oversee CROs / vendors, ensuring deliverables meet quality, cost, and timeline expectations.
  • Represent statistical programming in cross‑functional governance meetings, study teams, and regulatory interactions.

    • Team Building & Mentorship

  • Recruit, mentor, and develop a small but high‑impact programming team.
  • Foster a culture of collaboration, accountability, and continuous learning.
  • Provide training, technical guidance, and career development support to staff.

    • Why Join Us

  • Opportunity to shape and build the statistical programming function in a growing biotech.
  • High‑impact role with direct influence on advancing innovative therapies to patients.
  • Collaborative, entrepreneurial culture with strong scientific focus.
  • Competitive compensation, equity participation, and comprehensive benefits.

    • Requirements

  • MS / PhD in Statistics, Biostatistics, Computer Science, Mathematics, or related field.
  • 10+ years of statistical programming experience in the pharmaceutical / biotech industry, with proven experience leading programming support for regulatory submissions.
  • Strong hands‑on programming expertise in SAS; proficiency in R and / or Python highly desirable.
