Job Description:
*Statistical Science Lead/Director - Remote in UK - Global Leasing Pharma!*
Location: Remote in United Kingdom
Type: Permanent with competitive salary and package
Partnered with a global pharmaceutical innovator focused on transforming lives through breakthrough science and patient-centric solutions. Their work spans therapeutic areas such as oncology, immunology, and rare diseases, with a strong emphasis on precision medicine and cutting-edge technologies. Known for fostering a culture of collaboration and continuous learning, they aim to redefine the future of healthcare by tackling some of the world’s toughest medical challenges.
Role Overview: As a key member of dynamic cross-functional teams, the Director of Statistical Science plays a pivotal role in driving innovation and excellence across clinical development, medical affairs, and exploratory research. This position leads complex and novel statistical initiatives in areas such as oncology, immuno-oncology, biomarker analysis, PK/PD modeling, and real-world evidence.
For select assets, the Director may also serve as Global Statistical Lead (GSTATL) or as a Methodology Expert, validating advanced techniques and championing statistical innovation.
This role is designed for a seasoned statistician who thrives in autonomy, with minimal oversight from senior statistical leads. For late-phase or novel assets, the Director may represent the organization in high-impact settings—regulatory meetings, HTA discussions, and scientific forums—on topics ranging from clinical data to biomarkers, PROs, and methodology.

* Lead Biomarker & PK/PD Initiatives: Drive execution of biomarker and pharmacometric strategies, lead complex studies, and support marketed products with robust quantitative insights.
* Influence Regulatory & Payer Outcomes: Contribute to dossiers and publications with clear, compelling statistical interpretation of results.
* Communicate with Clarity & Authority: Present summary data and analyses to stakeholders in a way that drives decisions and inspires confidence.
* Enable Integrated Evidence Generation: Ensure availability and integration of biomarker, external, and CRF databases to support development, submission, and commercialization.
* Drive Innovation & Mentorship: Research cutting-edge methodologies, validate complex techniques, and train the next generation of statistical leaders.
* Support Strategic Growth: Participate in due diligence activities, evaluate external data, and advise on statistical implications for business decisions.
