Who are we?
We’re Avance Clinical a Contract Research Organisation. We offer specialised services supporting drug development for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry. We have a rich history in this area with our founding roots dating back to the 1980’s. If you already work in this industry you’ll know that we are experts in our field.

Core Responsibilities
• Translate study protocol and Statistical Analysis Plan into algorithms and specifications to achieve analysis and CDISC standards.
• Create and/or validate all safety and efficacy study output requirements (e.g. SDTM, ADaM, TLFs) consistent with data definitions and specifications and relevant study documentation (e.g. protocol, SAP, aCRF).
• Manage and maintain programming specifications for SDTM, ADaM, analysis dataset, analysis outputs, and integration of data in support of ISS/ISE.
• Review and provide input to Case Report Forms (CRFs) and External Data Review Transfer Agreements.
• Management of project specific programming tasks and deliverables  to ensure project team will provide statistical programming deliverables according to project timelines.
• Provide accurate programming time estimates and risk mitigation plans to Management or Project Team.
• Identify study priorities and communicate effectively with project team and management.
• Ensure quality, proper documentation and meet or exceed timely completion of the project within budgeted hours.
• Reviews project documentation such as Statistical Analysis Plan, mock shells, programming specifications, annotated CRFs, and SAS database design.
• Actively participate in study team meetings.
• Provide accurate and timely responses to routine requests from clients and with limited supervision responses to non-routine requests from clients.
• Responsible for identifying opportunities for productivity improvements and formulating proposal for new SAS utilities/macros and their implementation.
• Ensuring programming is conducted according to departmental and industry standards.
