Uxbridge, UK Hybrid Working: 50% Onsite Are you ready to turn clinical data into life-changing decisions? At Bristol Myers Squibb, we believe that behind every dataset, every line of code, and every submission package, there's a patient waiting for a better option. As our Senior Statistical Programmer, you are one of the people who makes that happen. This isn't a role where your work disappears into a black box.

Here, your programming expertise directly shapes how new medicines are developed, reviewed by regulators, and ultimately approved for patients around the world. That's a pretty remarkable thing to be part of.

You’ll be a key technical voice within our Global Biometrics & Data Sciences (GBDS) function, working closely with cross‑functional clinical teams, collaborating with external vendors, and owning your programming workload with real autonomy. This is a focused individual contributor role - no line management responsibilities — so you can put your energy exactly where it matters most: delivering high‑quality, high‑impact programming work.

• Writing and validating SAS programs to generate derived analysis datasets and clinical Tables, Figures, and Listings (TFLs) - work that feeds directly into regulatory decision‑making
• Contributing to electronic submission preparation (think NDA, BLA, MAA) — real regulatory milestones that mark pivotal moments in a medicine's journey
• Reviewing and shaping key planning documents like Statistical Analysis Plans (SAPs) and Data Presentation Plans, ensuring clarity and completeness before programming work begins - your input genuinely steers project direction
• Partnering with vendors on programming standards, specifications, and file transfers, building the kind of collaborative relationships that make complex programmes run smoothly
• Independently leading programming assignments across multiple projects with minimal supervision - you'll have real ownership and the trust to match it
• Spotting opportunities to improve efficiency and consistency across GBDS, contributing to initiatives that make the whole team better

We're looking for someone with a solid foundation and the drive to apply it meaningfully. Here's what we need:

• A Bachelor's degree in Statistics, Biostatistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or Life Sciences
• Demonstrated industry experience in statistical programming

• Strong, proven proficiency in SAS for producing derived analysis datasets and TFLs
• In-depth understanding of clinical data structures, including CDISC standards (SDTM, ADaM) and relational databases
• Hands‑on experience with upstream data handling - multiple data forms, eDC, workflow, and SDTM
• Ability to deliver downstream outputs including ADaM datasets, Data Definition Tables, and e‑submission packages
• Confidence with tools like MS Office, XML and Pinnacle 21
• A solid grasp of regulatory, industry, and technology standards - you understand why the rules exist, not just what they are
• Familiarity with statistical terminology, clinical trial methodology, medical terminology, and protocol designs
• A genuine team…
