- You develop and support programming outputs across a wide range of data types, including exploratory biomarker data and real-world data, to support both regulatory and scientific objectives
- You collaborate on exploratory analyses that span disease areas and therapeutic areas, enabling insight generation to inform drug development strategies
- You support the creation and refinement of interactive tools and analytical applications (e.g., dashboards or visual data platforms) that enable dynamic exploration of integrated datasets by scientific and clinical teams
- You provide programming leadership for assigned studies, coordinating deliverables across internal and external programming partners to meet study timelines and requirements
- You interpret statistical analysis plans and translate them into executable programming specifications to ensure scientific rigor in outputs
- You troubleshoot and resolve technical programming challenges with limited supervision, proactively identifying risks and implementing effective solutions while meeting timelines
- You contribute to the design and maintenance of standard macros and reusable components, promoting efficiency and consistency across multiple studies and projects
- You document programming workflows and maintain audit trails, ensuring study files are complete, traceable, and inspection-ready
- You work cross-functionally with stakeholders, including biostatistics, data management, and clinical operations, to define programming timelines and deliverables
- You engage in process improvement and innovation activities and participate in learning activities to grow knowledge of clinical research and programming standards
Who you are:

- You are proficient in or have working knowledge of a modern programming language (such as SAS or R) and visualization/review tools
- You have a deep understanding of statistical quality, endpoints, and QC processes
- You have experience with Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC) standards (e.g., SDTM and ADaM)
- You bring expertise in handling and analyzing different types of data (multi-modal)
- You have demonstrated ability to deliver programming outputs independently
- You demonstrate respect for cultural differences when interacting with colleagues in the global workplace
- You are fluent in English
Preferred:
- Possess attention to detail for regulatory submission processes and related documentation
- Demonstrate critical thinking, strong organizational and problem-solving skills
- Experience working in cross-functional global study teams
- Effective communication skills with the ability to translate complex statistical concepts for non-statistical audiences
- Experience with multiple phases of drug development (early and/or late stage)
- Excellent communication skills, including the ability to influence and translate complex data for non-technical stakeholders
- Demonstrated willingness to adapt, grow, and evolve in response to shifting priorities
