Senior Statistical Programmer

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.

Day To Day, That Looks Like

• 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, BMS has an occupancy structure that determines where an employee is required to conduct their work. This structure includes site-essential, site-by-design, field-based and remote-by-design jobs. The occupancy type that you are assigned is determined by the nature and responsibilities of your role:

Site-essential roles require 100% of shifts onsite at your assigned facility. Site-by-design roles may be eligible for a hybrid work model with at least 50% onsite at your assigned facility. For these roles, onsite presence is considered an essential job function and is critical to collaboration, innovation, productivity, and a positive Company culture. For field-based and remote-by-design roles the ability to physically travel to visit customers, patients or business partners and to attend meetings on behalf of BMS as directed is an essential job function.
