About the Role
A venture-backed TechBio company in London is hiring a senior-level epidemiologist / RWE programmer to help build the future of data-driven drug development.
You’ll join a team that’s rethinking the traditional model - developing internal tools, working directly with biopharma partners, and applying real-world evidence to accelerate drug development.
This role combines scientific depth with software fluency. It’s ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of health data, analytics, and product-led strategy.
Key Responsibilities
* Design and analyse non-interventional studies, including regulatory-grade and exploratory projects
* Collaborate with engineering to build internal tools that support and scale RWE applications
* Engage with external partners to guide RWE strategy and deliver high-quality outputs
* Translate complex data into actionable insights for internal stakeholders and regulators
* Lead protocol and SAP development, contribute to CSRs and publication strategy
* Apply modern causal inference techniques to support study validity and robustness
Ideal Candidate
* MSc in Epidemiology, Pharmacoepidemiology or Health Data Science
* Strong coding skills in R or Python
* Experience delivering end-to-end observational studies using real-world datasets
* Proficient in study design, regulatory writing (protocols, SAPs, TFLs, CSRs)
* Knowledge of coding systems (ICD, SNOMED, GPI, HCPCS) and RWD sources (claims, EHR, registries)
* Familiar with regulatory trends around pragmatic trials, external control arms, and synthetic cohorts
* Skilled in handling and cleaning messy, multimodal data
* Confident using methods such as propensity score matching, IP weighting, and IV analysis
* Excellent communication skills with the ability to distil complex findings for different audiences
Bonus Experience
* Prior work in a startup, biotech or agile CRO
* Hands-on work with MarketScan, Flatiron Health, or Premier datasets
* Understanding of product development processes in tech-enabled life sciences companies
This is an opportunity to join a company that’s not just running studies, but building the future of drug development infrastructure. If you’ve got the technical depth, strategic mindset and coding fluency to back it up - get in touch.
