You will be involved in liaising with the entire study team as needed, including Clinical, Medical Writing, Safety and Biometrics. It is a great opportunity to see more how this works from a Big Pharma perspective, whilst still being part of a global CRO with opportunity for future career growth.

• Ensure all activities are conducted efficiently, with appropriate set-up of needed tools and macros, prioritizing quality at all times.
• Mentor less-experienced team members in best practices around SDTMs, ADaMs and TFLs while ensuring adherence to department standards and processes.

Your Profile:

• Ideally, a degree in a relevant field such as mathematics, life sciences, statistics, computer sciences, etc.
• In lieu of the above: professional experience in statistical programming within clinical trials in a biotech, CRO or pharmaceutical company.
• Solid experience with complex clinical trials (minimum 5 years) and the corresponding datasets’ content (safety and efficacy) and endpoints.
• Previous Lead experience preferred.
• Ideally you will have knowledge in all aspects of clinical trials, from initial study set-up to study completion, with an understanding of the roles and responsibilities of all related disciplines, e.g. Biostatistics and Clinical Data Management.
• Expert knowledge of base SAS, SAS macros, SAS/STAT and in debugging SAS programs.
• Broad knowledge of all CDISC requirements related to SDTM and ADaM, including define.xml, Reviewer's Guides and submission standards.
• An autonomous, collaborative work style, a curious mind and a keen attention to detail.
• Fluency in English – both verbal and written – is a must.
