  • Experience supporting regulatory submissions and interactions.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex statistical concepts to diverse audiences.
  • Proficiency with SAS and/or R, including building programming tools to support analysis and validation.
  • Individual contributor; no direct reports.
  • Experience supporting products in both pre-approval and post-approval stages.
  • Rare disease, cell therapy, or other advanced-therapy experience.
  • Familiarity with CDISC standards (SDTM/ADaM) and FDA submission data requirements.
