Job description

Overview

Veramed prides itself on two key areas: providing the highest quality statistics and programming consultancy for its clients, and giving its employees an industry leading working environment with support and training for career growth.

We have an opportunity for a Senior or Principal Statistician to join us on a permanent basis. We can offer home, hybrid or office working, training and support and a competitive package.

The purpose of the role is to provide statistical support to clients, across a range of projects and therapeutic areas. The Senior or Principal Statistician may also perform a supervisory role (e.g. line management and/or project management).

This role would be suitable for someone with at least 5 years’ experience in this field, who is comfortable working on projects with clients with no internal statistical support. Prior experience working closely with clinicians and other disciplines would also be advantageous. The ability to explain statistical concepts to non-statisticians is essential as well as being comfortable presenting to client teams. Whilst you will have support as needed, you will need to be comfortable working independently, managing your own workload and potentially working on multiple projects for multiple clients.

Responsibilities

• Study statistical oversight
• Project level statistical input
• Review and oversight of deliverables from other CROs
• Development and/or review of study documentation including the statistical aspects of protocols and statistical analysis plans
• Study design, including sample size calculations, ad-hoc and exploratory analyses
• Other statistical support as required
• Confident programming in either SAS or R

Desirable skills/experience

• Study design/sample size experience
• Regulatory experience
• Bayesian methods
• Experience in the following therapeutic areas would be an advantage: Oncology, CNS

Opportunities

• Presenting at conferences and authoring papers.
• Developing and executing innovative statistical methodologies, study design and/or efficiency optimisation ideas.
• Line management and peer mentoring.
• Contributing to business process improvements and authoring/presenting internal training.
• Contributing to initiatives that consider employees, the environment and our local communities as part of our B Corp accreditation.

What to expect

• A warm, friendly working environment in which to thrive both personally and professionally.
• A supportive, open-door management policy that will aid in your development and provide you with the tools to take your career to the next level.
• Exposure to a wide range of clients and projects, allowing you to diversify your workload and work closely with some of the biggest pharma companies in the industry.
• Work with a truly unique CRO that’s doing something different when it comes to managing staff, projects and building relationships in the industry.
• The ability to truly own your role and develop your skills and experience
