Statistical Programmer & SAS Programmer Jobs
Statistical programmers turn clinical trial data into the analysis datasets and outputs that biostatisticians and regulators rely on. Day to day that means building SDTM and ADaM datasets to CDISC standards, programming tables, listings and figures, and validating each other's work for submissions.
Titles include Statistical Programmer, SAS Programmer, Senior and Principal Statistical Programmer, and Statistical Programming Manager or Lead. The work is desk-based and frequently remote.
Most roles ask for a degree in a quantitative or life-science field plus strong SAS skills. R is increasingly used alongside SAS, and CDISC experience is a major advantage.
