About the role

As a DM Programmer, you will play a pivotal role in shaping how clinical data is collected, structured, and delivered. You’ll lead programming activities across the data lifecycle—from building Case Report Forms (CRFs) using cutting-edge tools, to managing SDTM (Study Data Tabulation Model) deliveries with precision.

You will collaborate with representatives from clinical, statistics, and CRO partners to finalize the design, creation, and implementation of Electronic Data Capture (EDC) solutions. You will also work closely with the Asset Data Lead/Study Data Lead to provide regular updates on progress for assigned studies.

What you’ll do

• Translate protocols into data collection requirements using the standards library to create study-level eCRF specifications.
• Lead the eCRF design process and manage study timelines related to data collection build and SDTM activities.
• Specify and oversee third-party data transfers and SDTM conversion requirements.
• Drive the end-to-end SDTM delivery process, ensuring quality and compliance.
• Champion the use and re-use of data standards at the study team level.
• Support submissions, audits, and inspections as required.

Interested? For this role we’re looking for the following education, experience, and skills

• Bachelor's Degree in a relevant field; advanced degrees preferred.
• At least 5 years of relevant experience in database design in a clinical or pharmaceutical-related field.
• Proficiency in eCRF design and experience with Data Management processes, including SDTM standards requirements.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to apply critical thinking to translate protocol requirements into data collection tools.
• Advanced written and verbal communication skills with proficiency in English and the ability to work cross-culturally.
• Experience in managing aggressive deadlines and working on concurrent studies.
