Senior Statistical Programmer in Uxbridge

Working with us is challenging, meaningful, and life-changing. At Bristol Myers Squibb, uniquely interesting work happens every day, in every department. From optimising a production line to the latest breakthroughs in cell therapy, this is work that transforms the lives of patients and the careers of those who do it. You’ll get the chance to grow and thrive through opportunities uncommon in scale and scope, alongside high-achieving teams.

Are you ready to turn clinical data into life-changing decisions? At Bristol Myers Squibb, we believe that behind every dataset, every line of code, and every submission package, there's a patient waiting for a better option. As our Senior Statistical Programmer, you are one of the people who makes that happen.

This isn't a role where your work disappears into a black box. Here, your programming expertise directly shapes how new medicines are developed, reviewed by regulators, and ultimately approved for patients around the world.

What you'll actually be doing:

• Writing and validating SAS programs to generate derived analysis datasets and clinical Tables, Figures, and Listings (TFLs) - work that feeds directly into regulatory decision-making.
• Contributing to electronic submission preparation (think NDA, BLA, MAA) — real regulatory milestones that mark pivotal moments in a medicine's journey.
• Reviewing and shaping key planning documents like Statistical Analysis Plans (SAPs) and Data Presentation Plans, ensuring clarity and completeness before programming work begins.
• Partnering with vendors on programming standards, specifications, and file transfers.
• Independently leading programming assignments across multiple projects with minimal supervision.
• Spotting opportunities to improve efficiency and consistency across GBDS.

What you bring to the table:

• A Bachelor's degree in Statistics, Biostatistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or Life Sciences.
• Demonstrated industry experience in statistical programming.
• Strong, proven proficiency in SAS for producing derived analysis datasets and TFLs.
• In-depth understanding of clinical data structures, including CDISC standards (SDTM, ADaM) and relational databases.
• Hands-on experience with upstream data handling - multiple data forms, eDC, workflow, and SDTM.
• Ability to deliver downstream outputs including ADaM datasets, Data Definition Tables, and e-submission packages.
• Confidence with tools like MS Office, XML and Pinnacle 21.
• A solid grasp of regulatory, industry, and technology standards.
• Familiarity with statistical terminology, clinical trial methodology, medical terminology, and protocol designs.
• A genuine team player - you communicate well, build bridges across functions, and make the people around you more effective.

It'd be a bonus if you also have:

• Deep experience supporting global regulatory filings (NDA, BLA, MAA) within pharma clinical development.
• Broad knowledge of the end-to-end drug development process and global regulatory frameworks.
• Experience with R or other statistical programming languages.
• Familiarity with the Linux operating system.

Here, your skills aren't just technically valued - they're mission critical. You'll work in an environment that respects your expertise, gives you the autonomy to lead your own work, and connects your daily output to outcomes that genuinely matter.

You will gain exposure to the full clinical development lifecycle, from data collection through to regulatory submission, and the chance to work with industry-leading standards and technologies in a global biometrics function.
