Associate Director, Biostatistics (Asset Lead)
Impact: Lead statistical strategy and decision‑making across registration‑directed clinical programmes
About the OrganisationJoin a large, well‑capitalised global pharmaceutical organisation with a strong and growing US presence. The company is making sustained investments across its clinical development portfolio, with a clear focus on modernising trial design, strengthening evidence generation, and elevating quantitative science as a core driver of success.
Biostatistics is positioned as a strategic scientific function, with statisticians embedded directly into development decision‑making rather than operating as a downstream service.
Why This Role ExistsAs the clinical pipeline expands, the organisation is strengthening its statistical leadership bench. This hire is designed to bring in a senior‑level statistician who can operate with autonomy, take ownership of complex studies, and partner credibly with senior Clinical, Regulatory, and Medical stakeholders.
This is a key role within the biometrics group, offering high visibility and genuine influence across active clinical programmes.
What You’ll Do:
Act as asset‑level statistical lead, owning studies from design through analysis and submission
Define and execute statistical strategy for registration‑directed trials
Author and oversee SAPs, analysis plans, and reporting deliverables
Provide input into study design, endpoints, and analysis approach
Guide simulation work and innovative design considerations where appropriate
Partner closely with Clinical Development, Regulatory, Medical, and Data Science teams
Represent Biostatistics in cross‑functional governance and decision forums
Ensure high‑quality, timely delivery through internal teams and external vendors
What They’re Looking ForPhD in Biostatistics, Statistics, or a related discipline
~8–10+ years of industry experience in clinical development
Experience leading Phase I–IV clinical trials
Strong understanding of statistical methodology and its clinical application
Confidence handling missing data strategies and regulatory‑grade analyses
Ability to communicate complex statistical concepts to non‑statisticians
Experience with SAS; R exposure for simulation work is beneficial
Why It’s InterestingTrue asset ownership and accountability
Statisticians positioned as decision‑makers, not support resources
High visibility within a growing US development organisation
Opportunity to influence study design and evidence strategy
Competitive compensation and long‑term growth potential
