Senior / Principal SAS Programmer | Specialist Research Consultancy | Hybrid / Remote UK | Permanent

We are partnering with a growing, highly respected specialist healthcare research consultancy looking to appoint Senior and Principal SAS Programmers to its expanding team.

These are rare opportunities for analytically minded SAS Programmers who enjoy understanding the data, not just programming it.

Moving beyond traditional clinical programming, you will work on Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs), Quality of Life (QoL) assessments, questionnaire data and complex statistical analyses, collaborating closely with experienced Statisticians and Psychometricians.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and validate SAS programs for complex, non-standard statistical analyses.

• Perform complex data manipulation, statistical programming and analytical investigations.
• Identify unusual patterns, anomalies and discrepancies, interpreting findings and developing solutions.
• Collaborate with Statisticians and Psychometricians on specialist research projects.
• Independently manage programming deliverables and ensure high-quality delivery.

What you will need

• Approximately 3-8 years of SAS programming experience, with more experienced candidates also considered.
• Strong SAS programming, complex data manipulation and analytical problem-solving skills.
• Sound mathematical and statistical understanding, with the ability to interpret data and analytical outputs.
• Experience with PROs, questionnaire data or QoL assessments is highly desirable.
• Knowledge of QS, ADQS, ADSL or instruments such as EQ-5D and FACT would be advantageous.
• Experience working closely with Statisticians or a background in Mathematics, Statistics or a related discipline.
• R programming and psychometrics experience are advantageous but not essential.
• Independent study leadership experience beneficial for senior candidates.

What You Will Receive

• Competitive salary and performance-related bonus of up to 10%.
• Pension, health insurance and gym membership.
• Excellent career development within a growing specialist team.
• Exposure to complex, patient-centred research beyond traditional clinical programming.
• Flexible hybrid working.
