  • Develop complex dataset and output specifications aligned with statistical and sponsor requirements, proactively identifying and mitigating programming risks.

  • Act as Lead Statistical Programmer, directing and reviewing work performed by other programmers and monitoring deliverables for accuracy and efficiency.

  • Review study documentation such as SAPs, mock shells, annotated CRFs, programming specifications, and database designs to minimize rework.

  • Participate in sponsor meetings, study kick-offs, bid defenses, and internal reviews as the statistical programming representative.

  • Contribute to team development by mentoring junior programmers, delivering training, reviewing outputs, and supporting onboarding initiatives.

  • Collaborate across cross-functional teams to ensure timely completion of programming milestones.

  • Minimal travel may be required based on project needs.
