Job Description:

Senior/Principal Statistical Programmer | Small US CRO | Fully Remote (UK-Based)

Be one of the first UK hires at a growing CRO making waves in the biotech space.

We’re partnered with a small, US-headquartered CRO (approx. 700 employees globally) that’s experiencing rapid growth across its Biometrics function. After winning several new projects with biotech clients, they’re now expanding into the UK market and are hiring their second UK-based Statistical Programmer.

This is a rare opportunity to join at an early stage of their UK expansion, giving you the chance to make a real impact while working on diverse and complex studies.

The Role:

As a Senior or Principal Statistical Programmer, you’ll lead high-impact projects, deliver key programming solutions for clinical trials, and collaborate closely with clients and regulatory agencies. You'll have the chance to shape the UK programming function while mentoring junior team members, contributing to regulatory submissions, and driving innovation through custom tools and macros.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead statistical programming activities for complex clinical trial projects
• Collaborate with clients and project teams, offering technical oversight and contributing to bid defences
• Create and validate SDTM and ADaM dataset specifications in line with CDISC standards and SOPs
• Contribute to regulatory submissions, with opportunities to engage directly with health authorities
• Mentor junior programmers and foster collaboration within global teams
• Develop tools, macros, and utilities to enhance efficiency and programming quality
• Implement rigorous data integrity checks to ensure scientific and regulatory compliance

Qualifications:

• Master’s or PhD in Statistics, Biostatistics, Epidemiology, or Mathematics
• 6+ years of statistical programming experience in clinical trials
• Strong experience with SDTM/ADaM datasets, TLFs, and submissions work
• Comfortable working independently and collaborating with cross-functional global teams

What’s on offer:

• Join a fast-growing CRO at the ground level of their UK expansion
• Highly competitive salary and benefits
• Fully remote position within the UK
• Clear development pathway with global visibility

If you’re looking to join a small, high-growth environment where your impact is recognised, this could be the right step.
