  • Support and enhance sponsor-defined SDTM and ADaM mapping tools.

  • Provide expert review of e-submission packages and deliver high-quality feedback.

  • Lead programming activities for assigned molecules, including ADaM specification development and validation for both efficacy and safety, primarily using legacy data.

  • Maintain and update ADaM standards and assess impacts of SDTM standard updates on existing ADaM frameworks.

  • Participate in cross-authority ADaM submission package reviews.

  • Provide operational and technical support in implementing CDISC standards (SDTM, ADaM, DEFINE) across programs and submissions.

  • Identify data inconsistencies, recommend solutions, and ensure alignment with CDISC, regulatory, and protocol requirements.

  • Collaborate with Study Leads and Data Management to ensure accurate data collection standards, DTAs, CRF elements, and external data integrations.

  • Develop and maintain clinical metadata libraries, controlled terminology, and CDISC-related standards.

  • Monitor and interpret emerging regulatory requirements related to data standards and submissions; provide strategic recommendations to cross-functional teams.


Qualifications & Experience Required

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Biology, Pharmacology, or related field.

  • Minimum 8 years of industry experience as a Statistical Programmer.

  • Recent experience developing Global Standards within a Sponsor or CRO environment is essential.

  • Expert-level knowledge of CDISC SDTM and ADaM standards and global regulatory submission requirements (FDA, EMA, PMDA).

  • Strong therapeutic experience in Oncology; experience in Virology or Inflammation is an added advantage.

  • Proven ability to design, review, and maintain complex standards frameworks.

  • Excellent communication, documentation, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
