• Preparing submissions for regulatory authorities, ensuring our documentation meets the highest standards

Depending on your experience, you will either drive or contribute to statistical analyses of clinical trials and provide statistical input to protocols while supporting the execution and reporting of studies. You will also support colleagues on other studies and handle ad hoc requests from internal collaborators and health authorities that require statistical expertise.

Ideally, you should bring:

• MSc degree in Statistics, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field

• Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain complex statistical concepts clearly to non-statistical stakeholders
• Strong analytical skills combined with the ability to handle multiple tasks simultaneously
• Ability to independently structure, prioritize and manage workload effectively
• A collaborative mindset and proven ability to work within multidisciplinary teams

It will be a strong advantage if you have experience in:

• Project management and cross-functional collaboration
• Working within a global organisation in a highly regulated industry

Your new department

Our Biostatistics organisation consists of 180 people, with the majority located in Denmark, India, and the US. We primarily perform our statistical work in‑house, which means we offer a wide variety of statistical tasks and challenges and provide a large scientific community.

We always strive to create an inspiring working environment with a focus on collaboration and opportunities for personal growth and development. We foster a positive and informal atmosphere in our daily work and maintain a sustainable balance between work and other priorities.
