Description
We are seeking an experienced Principal Statistician to join our growing team.

As such, employees are offered flexible and friendly working conditions, competitive pay, industry-leading benefits, and opportunities for progression, in an environment where they are mixing with the very best experts in the field.
As Principal Statistician, you will be responsible for the development, validation, and implementation of statistical models and providing statistical support for clinical studies. You will serve as a Statistical Lead for large-scale clinical trials across various therapeutic areas, ensuring that all deliverables are achieved on time and to a high level of quality.
