The Opportunity

As a Senior Statistical Programmer II, you will play a key role in the delivery of statistical programming activities across clinical studies, supporting analysis, reporting, and regulatory submissions.

  • Collaborate with statisticians, data managers, and cross-functional study teams to deliver regulatory-compliant outputs
  • Support submission activities including Define.xml and other regulatory deliverables
  • Ensure programming deliverables comply with CDISC standards, ICH-GCP guidelines, and sponsor requirements
  • Perform quality reviews and contribute to programming standards and process improvements
  • Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior programmers
  • Contribute to study-level planning, issue resolution, and continuous improvement initiatives

What We're Looking For

Required Experience

  • Bachelor's degree in Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Life Sciences, or a related discipline
  • 3+ years of statistical programming experience within the pharmaceutical, biotech, or CRO industry
  • Strong experience programming ADaM datasets and generating Tables, Listings and Figures (TLFs)
  • Practical experience using SAS within clinical trials
  • Experience using R within a clinical research environment
  • Understanding of CDISC standards, including ADaM and SDTM
  • Experience supporting regulatory submissions and clinical study reporting
  • Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to work independently
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Preferred Experience

  • Experience acting as a lead programmer on studies or workstreams
  • Oncology and/or Real World Evidence (RWE) experience
  • Knowledge of Define.xml and submission package preparation
  • Experience mentoring junior team members
  • Previous experience working on GSK studies or within a sponsor-dedicated model

Employment with ICON is contingent upon having the legal right to work in the country where the role is based.
