What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the SDTM programmer position, and why are they important?

To thrive as an SDTM Programmer, you need a strong background in clinical data management, data standards (especially CDISC SDTM), and programming skills—typically in SAS. Familiarity with SDTM mapping, data validation tools, and relevant regulatory submission platforms or certifications (e.g., SAS Certified Clinical Trials Programmer) is highly valuable. Strong attention to detail, analytical thinking, and effective communication enable collaboration with clinical teams and accurate data interpretation. These skills ensure clinical trial data is accurately standardized, regulatory-compliant, and ready for analysis, which is critical to successful drug development processes.

What is an SDTM programmer?

An SDTM Programmer is responsible for converting clinical trial data into standardized Study Data Tabulation Model (SDTM) datasets as per CDISC (Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium) guidelines. They ensure that data is structured and formatted correctly for regulatory submissions to agencies like the FDA or EMA. Their work involves writing SAS programs, validating datasets, and collaborating with clinical teams to ensure compliance and accuracy. Strong knowledge of SDTM standards, SAS programming, and clinical trial processes is essential for this role.

What are the typical daily responsibilities of an SDTM programmer?

SDTM Programmers are primarily responsible for transforming raw clinical trial data into standardized SDTM domains using programming languages like SAS. On a daily basis, you may be involved in mapping study data to SDTM specifications, validating the datasets, resolving discrepancies with data management teams, and documenting your processes for regulatory review. Collaboration with biostatisticians, clinical data managers, and quality assurance teams is also a significant part of the role. These responsibilities ensure that clinical data is accurate, compliant with industry standards, and prepared for analysis and submission to regulatory agencies.

Job description

Be Part Of A High-Performing Team:

Join a growing clinical programming function within a science-driven biopharmaceutical organization developing therapies for patients with serious and rare diseases. This newly established team is bringing critical SDTM programming capabilities in-house and works closely with data management, biostatistics, and statistical programming. The environment is collaborative, technically rigorous, and well suited to an experienced programmer who enjoys building reliable clinical-data solutions while helping shape new internal processes.

What's In Store For You:

Engagement: W2 only (no C2C/1099)

This is a fully remote, 12-month consulting assignment open to candidates located anywhere in the United States. Availability during Eastern Time business hours is preferred.

The role offers the opportunity to become one of the early members of a growing clinical programming team and contribute directly to the organization’s transition from outsourced SDTM programming to an internal delivery model. A contract extension may be possible based on performance and business needs, although permanent conversion is not currently planned.

How You Will Make An Impact:

  • Create production-quality SDTM datasets using both SAS and R.
  • Independently perform quality control and validation of SDTM datasets.
  • Develop dataset specifications using CDISC standards and current SDTM Implementation Guides.
  • Create annotated CRFs, including domain mappings, annotation boxes, controlled terminology, and page-level placement.
  • Apply existing team macros and programming utilities to support annotated CRF and SDTM production.
  • Develop SAS- and R-based listings and reports supporting medical monitoring, clinical data management, and statistical endpoint monitoring.
  • Perform clinical-data checks, reconciliations, and issue investigation as assigned.
  • Collaborate closely with data managers, biostatisticians, statistical programmers, and clinical-study stakeholders.
  • Help establish scalable internal standards, workflows, and quality practices as SDTM programming transitions in-house.
  • Manage multiple study deliverables independently while maintaining accuracy, traceability, and timely execution.

Do you bring proven success in SDTM programming with both SAS and R?

  • Approximately 8–10 years of hands-on clinical programming experience in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, CRO, or related regulated clinical environments.
  • Strong production programming proficiency in both SAS and R.
  • Demonstrated experience creating and independently quality-checking SDTM datasets.
  • Strong knowledge of CDISC standards and current SDTM Implementation Guides.
  • Hands-on experience creating annotated CRFs, including page-level annotations and terminology mapping.
  • Ability to use established macros, functions, and programming utilities.
  • Experience translating raw clinical data, CRFs, specifications, and programming standards into compliant SDTM deliverables.
  • Strong analytical, troubleshooting, documentation, and quality-control skills.
  • Ability to work independently as an individual contributor in a small and evolving team.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Experience with JReview is highly preferred.
  • Experience with Shiny, Pharmaverse, or R Markdown is highly desirable.
  • Exposure to SQL programming is preferred.
  • Experience supporting medical monitoring, data-management reports, reconciliations, or statistical endpoint monitoring is beneficial.
