Staff Biostatistician

🍊Our mission

Great science regularly stalls in the clinic, not because the science is wrong, but because the company behind it lacks the capital, infrastructure, or focus to take it all the way through. Today’s clinical-stage biopharma model is broken, and as a result promising treatments never reach patients.

Our mission is to fix this: we’re building the next generation of biopharma by in-licensing clinical-stage therapeutic assets and developing them through Lindus Health’s integrated, technology-first clinical trial infrastructure. We’re a new initiative, but we’re building on a proven foundation - the same infrastructure that has delivered 82% of Lindus Health’s sponsor trials on or ahead of timeline, across 40+ completed trials across the US and Europe.

We’re in-licensing 5-7 clinical-stage, typically Phase-2-ready assets, funded directly from Lindus Health’s balance sheet. We’re targeting deal close on our first assets through 2026, with first trials launching in H1 2027.

🍊 About the role

We're looking for a Staff Biostatistician to be the senior technical authority on statistics at Lindus Therapeutics. This is a senior individual contributor role covering the full lifecycle of a drug asset: reviewing the evidence behind a potential acquisition, shaping trial design from the first draft of a protocol, owning the analyses that decide whether a programme moves forward, and representing that work directly to regulators.

This role matters because Lindus Therapeutics is built on a portfolio model: we're in-licensing several clinical-stage assets at once, each carrying real acquisition, design and regulatory risk. Without a senior statistician who can independently own that judgement across multiple programmes simultaneously, every asset decision slows down and waits on a single bottleneck. You'll take on the trials and acquisitions that carry the most complexity (adaptive designs, novel endpoints, multi-cohort studies), set the standards the rest of the team works from, and be the person others turn to when a decision needs to hold up under scrutiny.

You'll work closely with Clinical Operations, Data Architecture, Regulatory and Corporate Development leadership, and your input will shape decisions upstream on any individual trial or acquisition.

🍊 About you

We'd like to hear from you if…

• You have high agency and a bias for action, with genuine passion for our mission of transforming how new health treatments are developed

• You hold a PhD or Master's in Biostatistics, Statistics, or a related field, with 9+ years in clinical biostatistics, including preparing statistical content for an FDA submission (IND, NDA or BLA)

• You have led statistical strategy across multiple trials independently, including complex or adaptive designs, and are fluent in R or SAS while directing others' programming work

• You have led interim analyses with material go/no-go or safety consequences and represented statistical positions directly to regulators

• You are a trusted, credible statistical voice with Clinical Operations, Regulatory and Corporate Development leadership, shaping decisions upstream on any given trial
  You belong here! If your experience and interests match with some of the above, we want you to apply.
  

🍊 What you'll focus on

• Asset acquisition diligence: Lead the statistical assessment on asset acquisitions and deliver the final statistical verdict that informs the decision.

• Trial design leadership: Set the standard for trial design across the portfolio, leading design of the most complex trials and reviewing others' designs for structural risk.

• High-stakes analysis & regulatory representation: Own the interim and final analyses with the greatest scientific, safety or business consequence, including direct board-facing responsibility, and serve as the senior statistical authority in regulatory interactions, authoring and defending the statistical case in briefing books, submissions and agency meetings.

• Standards & mentorship: Build the statistical standards, templates and SOPs the rest of the team works from, lead their adoption, and mentor other statisticians as the biostatistics function grows.
