We are looking for a Senior Principal Programmer (Statistical Computing Environment Business Coordinator) who is collaborative, detail-oriented, and compliance-minded to join our Programming, Visualization and Reporting team, based in any of our Brussels (Belgium), Monheim (Germany), Raleigh (USA), or Slough (UK) offices.

About the role

You will help clinical programming teams move to and work confidently within UCB’s modern Statistical Computing Environment. You will translate clinical reporting needs into well-governed study setups, support compliant platform operations, and help improve the way teams generate, validate, and deliver clinical trial analysis and reporting outputs.

Who you’ll work with

You will work with the Programming, Visualization and Reporting team, statistical programming teams, platform administrators, Biometrics partners, and business stakeholders. You will connect technical and business needs, support users through onboarding and daily operations, and help teams follow consistent, compliant, and practical ways of working.

What you’ll do

  • Review and coordinate clinical trial analysis and reporting setup requests, making sure they are complete, accurate, and delivered on time.
  • Configure study structures, repositories, datasets, reporting components, and access in line with CDISC and governance requirements.
  • Manage role-based access, study configurations, and Git/Azure DevOps resources using approved requests and compliant processes.
  • Coordinate environment provisioning with platform administrators so study teams can begin work in a ready and reliable environment.
  • Support programming teams during onboarding, transition from legacy systems, and ongoing operations as a first-line technical contact.
  • Improve lifecycle management and workflows by documenting processes, supporting validation activities, and automating practical solutions that enhance quality and user experience.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
