About the Role
The Company is in search of a Head of Biostatistics with a focus on oncology. This executive-level role is pivotal in establishing and leading the biostatistics function, with a strong emphasis on hands-on involvement in clinical trial design, data strategy, and regulatory interactions. The successful candidate will be the senior statistical leader, responsible for the strategic oversight of all oncology clinical programs, and will be expected to lead the design, analysis, and interpretation of clinical trials, including the application of adaptive and Bayesian methodologies. A key aspect of the role is to partner with cross-functional teams to ensure the high-quality execution of programs and to represent the company in FDA and global health authority interactions.
The ideal candidate for this position at the company will have a Ph.D. in biostatistics, statistics, or a related quantitative discipline, with a minimum of 10 years' of industry experience, primarily in oncology drug development. Extensive experience in direct FDA and global regulatory interactions is essential, as is a proven track record in statistical strategy for clinical programs and regulatory submissions. The role requires a hands-on mindset, the ability to balance strategic leadership with day-to-day execution, and proficiency in modern trial design, simulation-based methods, and advanced statistical approaches. The candidate should be local to the Boston area and able to work onsite full-time, with a preference for those who have previously worked in small biotech environments and have a deep understanding of oncology.
