Does it excite you to work with a controlled Statistical Computing Environment (SCE), and ensure reliable, well-tested updates through structured testing and user acceptance testing (UAT)? And do you have experience supporting statistical programming tools and shared assets in SAS and R (e.g., SAS macro libraries and R packages) through clear documentation and controlled releases? If this sounds like you, and you are ready to take on a broad area of responsibilities, then you could be our new colleague.
Your new position
As our Statistical Programmer SCE Administrator, the focus will be to ensure that our Statistical Computing Environment and shared programming assets are stable, well-documented, and fit-for-purpose. The role combines SCE ownership with hands-on work maintaining and improving SAS macro libraries, supporting the use of R in the SCE, and supporting colleagues with reliable, compliant processes. A key part of the position is to ensure GxP-compliant working procedures, including planning, executing, and documenting testing and UAT for updates and changes to the environment and shared codebase.
We Offer Exciting Responsibilities
- Maintain, improve, and govern shared SAS macro libraries (including versioning, release notes, and controlled deployment)
- Produce clear, audit-ready technical documentation (e.g., user guides, specifications, change logs, test evidence) for the SCE and shared code assets
- Plan and execute testing and UAT for updates (e.g., macro updates, environment/software changes), including defect tracking and follow-up
- Provide SCE operational support (e.g., access coordination, onboarding/offboarding support, troubleshooting, and workflow improvements) in collaboration with relevant stakeholders
- Support use of R in the SCE, including R package management approaches and reproducibility practices (as applicable in a controlled environment)
- Collaborate with Biometrics and external partners/CROs to ensure consistent ways of working and smooth handovers for shared assets and processes
Your profile
The ideal candidate is quality-minded and structured, with a strong documentation mindset and an interest in making systems and shared assets easier and safer to use. The role requires a pragmatic, service-oriented approach, strong attention to detail, and the ability to coordinate testing and changes with multiple stakeholders. The position suits a subject matter expert who can work independently while collaborating effectively across functions and with external vendors.
- Solid experience in SAS programming, with strong skills in SAS macro development and maintenance
- Proven ability to write and maintain high-quality technical documentation for regulated/controlled processes
- Hands-on experience with test planning, execution, and UAT, including documenting evidence and managing deviations/defects
- Several years of experience in clinical development, with a strong understanding of clinical trial data and expectations for quality, traceability, and compliance in a regulated environment
- Working knowledge of R and experience with R packages (installation, versioning, and reproducible workflows)
- Ability to work independently as a subject matter expert while collaborating effectively across functions and with external vendors
Your new team
You will be part of the Biometrics Department, currently consisting of 8 data managers, 9 statistical programmers and 12 statisticians. The department contributes to the overall clinical development strategy of Zealand’s compounds and provides expertise in design and methodology, data capturing, data structure, conduct, analysis, and reporting of clinical trials. You will join the Statistical Programming area within Biometrics and work closely with statistical programmers, data managers, and statisticians to enable reliable delivery through stable systems, clear standards, and well-tested shared programming assets, interfacing with cross-functional stakeholders and external partners.
