Clinical Data Scientist Full-time

Clinical Data Scientist

Are you ready to turn clinical data into early signals that safeguard patients and speed decisive action in our trials? As a Clinical Data Scientist you will build and maintain the Centralised Monitoring capabilities that power risk-based quality oversight across our global studies—helping deliver better outcomes in areas such as cardiovascular, renal, respiratory and immunology. You will ensure our platforms are always ready for the next study, data sources are correctly configured, and standard features are mapped and validated so analyses run smoothly and reliably. Working alongside experienced CM Data Scientists, you'll translate study needs into standard and lightweight bespoke functionalities, steadily growing from delivering components to owning end-to-end solutions. Do you see yourself shaping robust CM systems that clinicians, statisticians and study teams rely on every day?

Accountabilities:

• Configure and maintain Centralised Monitoring environments so they are continuously ready to support new and ongoing studies, ensuring secure access, stable integrations and compliant operation.
• Enable CM support for new studies by configuring data sources, establishing workspaces and repositories, and ensuring the right data arrives in the right place at the right time.
• Under supervision, develop and maintain lower-complexity CM functionalities by gathering requirements, programming, testing and producing complete documentation—contributing features that improve detection of issues and drive timely interventions.
• Deliver elements of, or full end-to-end mapping for, standard CM functionalities including programming, testing, validation and documentation, increasing reuse and accelerating study start-up.
• Prepare systems for execution of CM analyses for assigned studies by setting up and maintaining data sources and ensuring environments are analysis-ready.
• Perform basic system administration across access management, change management and issue management, with clear traceability and timely resolution to keep studies moving.
• Create and update CM system documentation, ensuring all configurations, validations and changes are accurately recorded for audit readiness and knowledge transfer.
• Work closely with Data Scientists within CM, contributing to shared standards, troubleshooting data and configuration issues, and scaling good practices across studies.

Essential Skills/Experience:

• Candidates should have a BSc, MSc, or PhD or equivalent experience in Computer Science or Information Science related to the biomedical field. They must have experience in R or Python programming language and applying information and knowledge management in clinical or scientific environments. Equivalent education and experience combinations will be considered.
• Basic knowledge of at least one programming language used for data analysis or demonstrated ability/capabilities to acquire such skills in a reasonable timeframe
• Good communication skills in both written and spoken English
• Team player

Desirable Skills/Experience:

• Basic knowledge of R is an advantage
• Previous experience with at least one BI platform is an advantage
• Previous experience in life science and clinical studies is an advantage
