• Lead and perform complex statistical analyses across preclinical, translational, biomarker, imaging, omics, and human research datasets using advanced methodologies such as Bayesian methods, causal inference, longitudinal modelling, and machine learning.
• Develop and apply innovative statistical methods, reproducible analytical workflows, and statistical programming solutions, particularly in R and related platforms.
• Support biomarker identification, evaluation, and validation activities, contributing to translational evidence‑generation strategies that strengthen research and portfolio decisions.
• Translate complex scientific data into actionable insights that support target evaluation, candidate selection, project progression, portfolio prioritisation, and probability‑of‑success assessments.
• Collaborate with Translational Bioinformatics, Global Biometrics, Data Management, PK/PD, and other quantitative functions, applying state‑of‑the‑art statistical methodologies to address scientific challenges.
• Contribute to scientific publications, ethics submissions, external collaborations, and scientific communications.
• Mentor and develop statisticians, scientists, contractors, and interns, providing scientific leadership and fostering a culture of excellence, collaboration, and continuous learning.
• Champion data‑driven decision making, promote statistical best practices, and deliver training to strengthen analytical capability across the organisation.
• Establish and manage relationships with external collaborators, academic partners, CROs, consultants, and technology providers, ensuring delivery of high‑quality scientific outcomes.

• PhD in Statistics, Biostatistics, or equivalent experience.
• 8+ years of experience applying statistics in a pre‑clinical pharmaceutical, biotechnology, healthcare, or biomedical research environment, supporting discovery, translational, biomarker, or early development programs.
• Demonstrated track record in developing and applying advanced statistical methodologies for biological, translational, biomarker, omics, imaging, or related scientific data.
• Proven experience with modern statistical programming, reproducible analysis workflows, and quantitative computing platforms, particularly R and related technologies.
• Evidence of scientific contribution through publications, conference presentations, methodological innovations, or development of analytical tools and platforms.
