The Opportunity:

The Senior Biostatistician will work across diverse therapeutic areas - including Ophthalmology, Cardiovascular, Renal, and Metabolism (CVRM), and Immunology portfolios-serving as a key statistical partner at the intersection of statistics, data science, and clinical development. In this dynamic role, you will balance core clinical trial operations with cutting-edge translational research. You will be responsible for providing strategic statistical input and hands-on execution for both traditional late-phase studies and complex exploratory initiatives, utilizing multimodal data - including biomarkers, imaging, and digital health measurements - to advance high-value work and inform molecule-level development decisions.

As a primary statistical partner within cross-functional teams, you will ensure scientific rigor and analytical excellence. You will analyze diverse and complex datasets, implement advanced methodologies, and build robust evidence required to support strategic decision-making and global regulatory submissions.

Your Responsibilities:

• You drive the statistical execution and contribute to the analytical strategy for a diverse portfolio of work, ranging from clinical study deliverables to complex translational and exploratory initiatives, ensuring scientific integrity across the board.

• You perform hands-on analysis of multimodal data, researching and implementing advanced statistical methodologies and predictive modeling to address complex clinical challenges.

• You provide end-to-end statistical support for traditional clinical trials, which includes contributing to study design, protocol development, authoring Statistical Analysis Plans (SAPs), and supporting Clinical Study Reports (CSRs) for regulatory submissions.

• You act as a key statistical partner on cross-functional teams, collaborating proactively to translate complex data into clear communications and actionable insights for internal and external stakeholders.

• You represent Biostatistics and PDD on cross-functional project teams, ensuring the statistical rigor of study deliverables.

• You maintain up-to-date expertise in the latest developments within the fields of statistics, machine learning, and data science to ensure the application of the most appropriate analytical approaches.

• You provide functional guidance and informal mentorship to less experienced statisticians or data scientists.

Who You Are:

• You hold a PhD or MSc in Statistics, Biostatistics, Machine Learning, or a closely related quantitative discipline.

• You have a minimum of 3 years of relevant experience in clinical trial statistics or applied data science within a pharmaceutical, biotech, or CRO setting.

• You possess demonstrated experience in the analysis of multimodal data and the hands-on application of advanced statistical methods to drive data-informed decision-making.

• You are highly proficient in programming using R, Python, and/or SAS to solve complex analytical problems.

• You demonstrate strong independent thinking, with the ability to apply critical thinking and problem-solving skills beyond the purely technical domain.

• You are an effective communicator and collaborator, capable of partnering with diverse stakeholders across the organization and translating complex technical concepts into clear language for non-expert audiences.

• You thrive in a global environment, demonstrating respect for cultural differences and the ability to work autonomously while collaborating effectively within a matrixed team structure.

Preferred:

• Expertise in at least one specialized data domain: biomarkers, imaging, or digital health measurements.

• A track record of taking analytical ownership of translational and exploratory analyses that have informed portfolio, program, or scientific decisions.

• Hands-on experience operating as a study-level statistician, including familiarity with regulatory guidelines (e.g., ICH), CDISC standards, and the execution of standard clinical trial deliverables.

• Knowledge of multiple drug development phases (early and late stage) and an understanding of the broader pharmaceutical industry context.

• Experience in scientific collaboration or informal leadership within a functional or project team.
