Build the function. Build the team. Shape the technology strategy.
We’re partnering with a pharmaceutical organisation looking for an experienced Statistical Programming & Technology Lead to build and develop its programming and technology capability from the ground up.

What makes this role stand out:
• Build, recruit and lead the Statistical Programming & Technology team from scratch
• Define the programming structure, standards, processes and quality framework
• Drive technical advancement across AI, automation and data visualisation
• Shape the adoption and governance of SAS Viya, alongside SAS, R and Python
• Ensure high-quality, compliant SDTM, ADaM, TLF and regulatory submission outputs
• Establish governance around new tools and technologies
• Oversee the Statistical Computing Environment and continuous improvement initiatives
• Manage CRO/FSP programming partners and external delivery
• Work closely with Biostatistics, Data Management, Clinical Operations, Medical Affairs and IT
What we’re looking for:
✓ 12+ years’ Statistical Programming experience within Pharma, Biotech or CRO
✓ Proven programming leadership and people management experience
✓ Strong SAS, CDISC SDTM/ADaM and regulatory submission expertise
✓ Good understanding of ICH guidelines and clinical data standards
✓ Experience building or transforming programming teams/functions
✓ Knowledge of SAS Viya, R, Python, AI, automation and/or data visualisation highly desirable
✓ MSc/PhD in a relevant quantitative discipline
? Milan, Italy
? 4 days per week in the office / 1 day remote
? Permanent
Excellent remuneration package
If you’re a senior programming leader who wants the opportunity to create a modern Statistical Programming & Technology function rather than simply inherit one, this could be a fantastic next move.
