We are seeking a skilled Statistical Programmer II to join our diverse Biostatistics and Programming team. In this key role, you will be responsible for developing, validating, and executing the statistical programs that transform raw clinical trial data into the clear, accurate analysis that supports regulatory submissions and medical decision-making. Your technical expertise will be crucial in ensuring the integrity and reliability of study results that impact patient lives.
Your Mission: Develop Robust Programs for Data Integrity & Analysis
You will collaborate closely with biostatisticians and study teams to create the programming foundation for clinical trial reporting, from datasets to tables, figures, and listings (TFLs).
What You Will Be Doing:
- Develop, validate, and maintain complex statistical programs using SAS, R, or Python for data manipulation, analysis, and clinical study reporting.
- Collaborate with biostatisticians and data managers to interpret statistical analysis plans (SAPs) and ensure accurate implementation of methodologies.
- Prepare and review programming specifications, derived datasets (e.g., ADaM), and output (TFLs) to meet CDISC standards and regulatory requirements.
- Ensure data integrity and compliance with ICH/GCP guidelines, SOPs, and project-specific standards throughout the programming lifecycle.
- Mentor junior programmers, provide technical guidance, and contribute to the development of team best practices and process improvements.
Your Profile: The Technical Expert with an Eye for Detail

- Proven experience as a statistical programmer within the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, or CRO industry.
- Strong knowledge of statistical methodologies used in clinical trials and CDISC standards (SDTM, ADaM).
- High proficiency in statistical programming languages, with SAS being essential; experience with R or Python is highly advantageous.
- Experience working with clinical data management systems and electronic data capture (EDC).
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and organizational skills, with a keen attention to detail.
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and collaborate effectively in a team environment.
