  • Deliver high-quality statistical programming results including developing, validating, and maintaining SAS and/or R programs tailored to clinical development programs' needs
  • Participate in overseeing CRO's statistical programming deliverables for multiple clinical studies to ensure high-quality and meet the pre-specified timelines
  • Support the preparation of clinical study reports, regulatory submissions, publications, annual DSUR, and exploratory analyses
  • Understand and follow FDA regulations which affect the reporting of clinical trial data. This includes good clinical practice and guidelines for electronic submissions.
  • Contribute to the creation, maintenance, documentation, and validation of standards for programming tools, outputs, and macros
  • Participate in the development of CRFs, edit check specifications, and data validation plans
  • Provide review and/or author data transfer specifications for external vendor data
  • Collaborate with internal and external functions (e.g. CROs, software vendors, clinical development partners, etc.) to ensure meeting project timelines and goals
  • Provide review and/or author SOPs and/or Work Instructions related to statistical programming practices

Qualifications
Here at Cytel we want our employees to succeed and we enable this success through consistent training, development and support. To be successful in this position you will have:
  • At a minimum bachelor's degree in computer science, data science, mathematics, or statistics major preferred
  • 7+ years of experience as a Statistical Programmer on a Biotech/Pharma Clinical Development Biometrics Team or with a similar team and experience supporting drug development, medical device development, or intervention studies
  • Exceptional SAS programming skills and expertise in the development and implementation of statistical programming procedures and processes in a clinical development environment
  • Extensive applied experience of CDISC standards (SDTM, ADaM, and Define.xml), medical terminology, clinical trial methodologies, and FDA/ICH regulation
  • Experience supporting regulatory submissions, interacting with the FDA and/or global regulatory authorities
  • Must be able to work independently
  • Outstanding communication skills (written and verbal) and strong leadership skills

Preferred Qualifications (nice to have)
