Who Are You?
A Biostatistician with in-depth Bayesian analysis experience and a strong interest in Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC) data analysis. We welcome recent PhD graduates to also apply for this position. You are excited and enthusiastic, motivate your teams to do great work and collaborate easily with your clients. You never settle for what is, but always push clinical development forward to what it could be. You motivate others to do the same.

As a Biostatistician you will be dedicated to one of our global pharmaceutical clients; a company that is driving the next generation of patient treatment, where individuals are empowered to work with autonomy and ownership. This is an exciting time to be a part of this new program.
Position Overview
We are seeking a highly motivated Biostatistician to support CMC projects across the drug development lifecycle. The ideal candidate will have a strong foundation in statistical methodologies and programming and will play a critical role in analyzing complex manufacturing data to ensure product quality, consistency, and regulatory compliance.
