Senior Statistical Programmer - HEOR Consulting

AIP Connect

New York, NY โ€ข On-site, Remote

$110/hr

Full-time

Posted 7 days ago


Job description

Our client, an innovative, client-focused boutique HEOR consulting firm is growing! We're looking for a Senior Biostatistician to join their team.
The ideal candidate will have a strong background in statistics or biostatistics and proficiency in statistical programming using SAS and/or R.
In this role, you will utilize real-world data to conduct a range of health care economic, clinical effectiveness, and burden of illness analyses to support pharmaceutical products throughout their life cycles across a range of disease areas.
This opportunity is for you if you're looking for an environment where you can play a big role in study design and analytics, and where you will have the opportunity to analyze and explore different types and structures of data. While this is a boutique organization, it has received significant industry recognition, and has established a growing list of clients. Therefore, you may face dynamic challenges that will require you to have an out of the box, solutions driven approach.
In this role, you will be responsible for the design and analysis of studies that inform healthcare decision-making and contribute to the development of innovative solutions for their clients. Additionally, this role is for you if you're excited about opportunities to build new data platforms.
You can expect to specifically focus on:
  • Heavy Data Manipulation: You'll be the one building analytical datasets from the ground up. This means getting into the weeds with patient selection, programming attrition counts, and working extensively with ICD-10, NDC, and CPT codes.
  • The Analyses: A significant portion of the work involves Treatment Pattern Analysis, Clinical Outcomes, and Healthcare Resource Utilization (HCRU) and Cost analysis.
  • Study Architecture: You'll collaborate with cross-functional teams to design HEOR studies, write the Statistical Analysis Plans (SAPs), and make sure the methodology is airtight.
  • Technical Mentorship: Act as a lead resource for junior staff, providing hands-on guidance on statistical methods and conducting code reviews to ensure programming best practices in SAS and R.
  • Strategic Storytelling: You'll translate complex statistical findings into clear, actionable recommendations for pharmaceutical leaders. It's about telling the story of the data, not just handing over a spreadsheet.

What You Bring To The Table
We are looking for a unique blend of technical mastery and an entrepreneurial spirit. Because of the fast-paced nature of the work, previous experience in an HEOR consulting firm is a requirement.
  • Consulting Background: You must come from an HEOR consulting firm. That fast-paced, solutions-driven mindset is non-negotiable here.
  • US Database Experience: You need to be deeply familiar with US administrative claims and EMR/EHR data.
  • Technical Stack: Expert-level proficiency in SAS and/or R is essential. If you're familiar with Python or Stata, that's a bonus.
  • The Credentials: A Master's or PhD in Biostatistics, Statistics, Epidemiology, or a related field, with at least 5 years of experience in HEOR consulting.
  • Leadership & Rigor: You have a meticulous eye for code auditing and a natural ability to mentor junior staff.

Salary range for this role is $110 - 130K.
