Job Description

Remote SAS Validation Programmer

Shape Outcomes in Data-Driven Healthcare

Can your meticulous attention to detail create clarity where others see complexity? As a Remote SAS Validation Programmer, your code becomes the backbone of trust for critical data that drives regulatory approvals, clinical breakthroughs, and patient safety. You won’t just execute checks—you’ll architect innovative validation processes that ensure every dataset, derived variable, and result is airtight. You’re ready to turn ambiguity into actionable insights that impact global health.

Your Mission: Impactful Data Validation

Every dataset tells a story—but you’ll decide if that story stands up to scrutiny. Partner with biostatisticians, clinical programmers, and study teams to validate everything from raw trial data to submission-ready analysis files. Imagine transforming thousands of records into a single, clean, and reliable version of the truth. Your robust validation logic and creative test strategies empower sponsors and regulators to trust what they see. This isn’t routine QA. You’ll design data edit checks, automate cross-system reviews, and identify subtle inconsistencies that others may miss.

Key Responsibilities & Outcomes

Architect Validation Workflows

Build and refine SAS programs to rigorously test data integrity from CRF through SDTM and ADaM datasets.
Shape validation plans that anticipate regulatory scrutiny, always staying a step ahead of evolving compliance standards.
Document processes clearly—your notes empower colleagues, auditors, and future team members.

Partner Across Functions

Collaborate with biostatistics and clinical data management, ensuring validation is both thorough and timely.
Share your findings and help shape process improvements across study teams.
Engage in peer code reviews, offering feedback that raises the standard for everyone.

Drive Regulatory Confidence

Lead validation for deliverables supporting submissions to FDA, EMA, and global health authorities.
Design traceability matrices that connect source data to analysis outputs, ensuring every step is auditable.
Anticipate questions from auditors before they’re asked—your work inspires confidence from every stakeholder.

Optimize and Automate

Create macros and reusable scripts that eliminate manual effort and reduce error risk.
Champion reproducibility: your programs work seamlessly across evolving datasets and changing specs.
Pursue continuous improvement, suggesting new validation approaches as tech and standards evolve.
