Job Description

Remote Pharma SAS Programmer

Shape the Future of Global Clinical Research—From Anywhere

Does the idea of turning raw clinical data into actionable insights excite you? If so, your next chapter starts here. You’ll play a pivotal role in ensuring pharmaceutical breakthroughs become real-world solutions. Whether it’s accelerating clinical trials or ensuring regulatory submissions are bulletproof, your programming will fuel the medical advances that change lives. Here, innovation and precision matter equally—and so does your voice.

Why This Remote SAS Programming Role Matters

Modern healthcare innovation depends on data. Behind every life-saving drug is a story told through datasets, captured in studies, analyzed for safety, and reported to global health agencies. As a Remote Pharma SAS Programmer, you’ll become the architect of those stories. Every macro you write, every validation you automate, and every dataset you structure is another step toward better treatments for millions. In our distributed team, your impact isn’t limited by geography; instead, you’ll help shape strategies for global clinical development—right from your home office.

What You’ll Own and Accomplish

Your expertise goes beyond just writing code. You’ll collaborate with biostatisticians, data managers, and clinical project leads to unlock clarity from complexity. Imagine transforming ambiguous clinical trial data into analysis-ready datasets that power real-world decisions. You’ll standardize outputs for regulatory review, drive process improvements, and guarantee the highest data integrity standards. With every project, your programming helps streamline submissions to the FDA, EMA, and other regulatory bodies, making you an integral part of the global regulatory landscape.

• Turn Raw Data Into Clinical Evidence: You’ll write efficient SAS code to translate raw EDC outputs into analysis datasets, listings, tables, and figures that withstand regulatory scrutiny.
• Partner Across Disciplines: In this remote-first environment, you’ll bridge biostatistics, data management, and clinical operations—bringing structure to open-ended data questions and ensuring alignment at every phase.
• Champion Regulatory Compliance: Your work directly supports ICH, CDISC, and other global data standards. You’ll anticipate regulatory expectations and embed quality into every dataset delivered.
• Automate for Efficiency: Why redo what can be automated? You’ll design reusable macros and templates, making the clinical programming process smoother for every new study or protocol amendment.
• Uphold Data Integrity: You’ll validate, review, and troubleshoot SAS programs—proactively surfacing anomalies and collaborating to resolve them before they become downstream problems.

Your Remote Work Environment

We know deep work and genuine collaboration fuel great science. That’s why you’ll have the freedom to set your workspace—whether that’s a dedicated home office or a favorite quiet spot. Our remote toolkit includes secure access to cloud-based clinical data systems, virtual project rooms, and daily touchpoints on Slack and Zoom. You’ll find quick answers, peer reviews, and brainstorming sessions are just a message away—making real-time collaboration possible, even across time zones.

• Modern Remote Collaboration Tools: You’ll work in shared SAS environments, use platforms like Jira for project tracking, and tap into our cloud-based documentation system for seamless, transparent workflows.
• Flexible Hours, Real Connection: While clinical projects can move quickly, you’ll always have room for deep focus. Expect core team hours for syncs, balanced with autonomy, to tackle programming challenges on your schedule.
• Supportive, Learning-Driven Culture: You’ll never code in a vacuum. Biostatisticians and fellow programmers are ready to test your logic, troubleshoot edge cases, and push each other toward more innovative solutions.

Skills and Experience That Set You Apart

Your toolkit combines statistical programming with a passion for data-driven healthcare transformation. If you see clinical trials as more than just compliance hurdles and find energy in untangling complex data, you’ll thrive here.

• Proven Pharma SAS Programming: You have experience delivering datasets, tables, and listings in a pharmaceutical or CRO setting—ideally in global, multi-site trials. Familiarity with CDISC standards (SDTM, ADaM) is a plus.
• Analytical Problem-Solving: You don’t just write code; you ask the “why” behind every dataset. Your critical thinking turns messy source data into pristine outputs, anticipating both user needs and regulatory feedback.
• Collaborative Communication: You simplify complex concepts—whether it’s explaining a derivation to a biostatistician or guiding a remote data manager through a new validation macro.
• Fluency with Modern SAS Tools: From Base SAS to advanced macro programming and PROC SQL, you’re comfortable with the tools that matter in pharma analytics. Familiarity with remote collaboration platforms (like Confluence or Jira) and cloud-based SAS deployments will serve you well.
• Attention to Regulatory Detail: You understand why every output must be audit-ready, reproducible, and fully documented—because lives depend on it.

What Success Looks Like Here

You’ll know you’re thriving when your programming reduces ambiguity for clinical teams, submissions fly through quality checks, and your process automation becomes the gold standard for new projects. Your contributions will be recognized not just in final regulatory filings but in the lives improved by faster, safer clinical development.

• Impact in Action: See the results of your SAS programming in every data review meeting, regulatory submission, and patient outcome.
• Growth and Challenge: Tackle a wide variety of study designs and therapeutic areas, always learning and stretching your skillset alongside a diverse, international team.
• Recognition for Excellence: We celebrate programmers who elevate our data quality, drive project efficiency, and foster a spirit of supportive innovation.
