Mentor, coach, and support the education and training of statistics staff

Accountabilities for Supporting Statistical Methodological Advances:

Consult across project teams within the area of expertise
Apply expert skills to investigate and implement novel statistical approaches for relevant statistical issues, regulatory guidance, or value demonstration, including modeling and simulation
Produce pragmatic solutions within a tight time scale, focusing on delivery first and refining solutions thereafter
Contribute to or lead the development of process improvements and capability areas within the department
Establish and improve standards and best practices, applying novel statistical approaches to increase effectiveness and efficiency
Interact with external scientists and represent AstraZeneca Biometrics externally via publications and presentations on novel statistical approaches and best practices

Track record of independently leading projects
Exemplary technical skills
Usually PhD in Statistics or a relevant topic
Recognized as a statistical technical authority at a national or expert leadership level

Desirable Skills/Experience:

Exposure to business development opportunities (e.g., in licensing)
Project management skills
Proficiency in programming SAS, R, and Python
