Senior Biostatistician

Avania are hiring a Senior Biostatistician. As a Senior Biostatistician at Avania, you will support the day-to-day biostatistics activities across clinical studies, with a focus on leading statistical workstreams from protocol input through analysis and interpretation. In this role, you'll be responsible for developing statistical analysis plans, providing statistical input into study protocols, conducting endpoint and hypothesis-testing analyses, and helping explain results to sponsors and other stakeholders. You will also join sponsor discussions as a biostatistics point of contact, providing clear updates on analysis strategy, study progress, and key deliverables while helping align expectations throughout the project lifecycle. This position is designed for someone who can work independently, stay organized across multiple studies, and communicate confidently with both internal teams and clients. The role is based remotely within the EU and offers the opportunity to contribute across a range of clinical projects in a collaborative CRO environment.

What you'll be doing:

• Develop and refine statistical analysis plans and provide statistical input into clinical study protocols and study design discussions.
• Conduct core statistical analyses using SAS and, where needed, R, with emphasis on endpoint analyses and hypothesis testing rather than extensive production-level table/listing programming.
• Partner with sponsors, medical writing, and other stakeholders to explain, support, and defend statistical approaches and analysis results.
• Oversee priorities across approximately 5 to 8 studies at varying stages, with a smaller subset requiring more active day-to-day involvement.
• Perform high-level quality review of statistical outputs and contribute to the accurate delivery of study milestones and biostatistics deliverables.

What we're looking for:

• Several years of experience in biostatistics, ideally including work in a CRO environment, with the ability to operate at a senior level on client-facing projects.
• Ability to represent Biostatistics in sponsor interactions, translating statistical concepts for non-statisticians and communicating clearly with physicians, clients, and cross-functional partners.
• Solid understanding of clinical trial design and analysis, including experience contributing to protocols, analysis plans, and study deliverables.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple concurrent studies, timelines, and milestones effectively.
• Experience using SAS for statistical analyses, with openness or familiarity with R where project needs or sponsor requests require it.
• Preference for candidates with medical device experience, though relevant pharma or broader clinical research backgrounds will also be considered.

What you'll need:

• Experience performing statistical analyses in clinical research, including endpoint evaluation and hypothesis-testing activities.
• Practical ability to draft or contribute to statistical analysis plans and provide meaningful statistical input during protocol development.
• Working knowledge of study design concepts, such as power calculations and awareness of different design approaches, including adaptive methods.
• Comfort reviewing statistical tables and outputs with a strong QC mindset and the ability to identify potential issues at a high level.
• Confidence balancing scientific rigor with project execution, ensuring deliverables are completed in line with study expectations.
• Professional communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with medical writing, sponsors, and other key opinion leaders.
• Ability to work remotely within the EU and collaborate effectively with a geographically distributed team.

What we offer:

We offer a dynamic and supportive work environment within a growing biometrics function, where you can make a meaningful contribution to clinical research projects. You will work closely with internal colleagues and external stakeholders while taking ownership of important statistical responsibilities across multiple studies. This role provides the opportunity to apply both technical and client-facing skills in a position that values sound judgment, collaboration, and clear communication. The position is offered as a remote role within the EU, giving you flexibility while remaining connected to a broader international team. You will also join at a time when the team is continuing to evolve, creating opportunities to contribute to how biostatistics support is delivered across current and future projects. We look forward to receiving your application!
