Clinical Development

Are you a highly experienced statistician looking for an opportunity to use your statistical knowledge and quality mindset to bring clinical projects to registration and market? Are you ready to work with our broad and expanding pipeline? Do you thrive in an inclusive, engaging, and global environment?

Then, this is your chance to join our Biostatistics organisation. Apply today and join us for a life-changing career.

The position

You will be part of one of our key development projects in Novo Nordisk where we are exploring a new compound, CagriSema, for the treatment of obesity and diabetes and potentially also other indications.

You will take active part in the scientific and strategic discussions related to the initiation of new clinical trials within the CagriSema project. You will be responsible for protocol development including trial design, endpoints, estimands and sample size. Furthermore, you will be responsible for writing and clearly communicating the statistical analysis plan for the clinical trials and assisting the implementation of the statistical programming. Following trial completion, you will be responsible for interpreting and presenting the results.

You will contribute to the overall statistical strategy and the development of statistical standards within the CagriSema project e.g., missing data and imputation methods. You will also take part in the development of submission documents and be involved in interactions with regulatory authorities.

You will not be directly involved in the clinical trial conduct but rather oversee the project while mentoring less experienced colleagues and ensuring progress on a portfolio level. Within Biostatistics you will be working closely with the international project statistician who has the overall scientific responsibility for our deliverables.

In your daily work, you will collaborate with e.g., medical specialists, clinical pharmacology, pharmacometrics, market access, health technology assessment etc. It is therefore important that you clearly communicate statistical concepts and ideas to all our stakeholders.

Qualifications

The ideal candidate should have:

  • Strong background in mathematics and statistics corresponding to PhD.
  • +5 years of experience e.g., from the pharmaceutical industry

It will be a strong advantage if you have:

  • Experience with cross-functional collaborations
