About Alexion
At Alexion, our mission is to transform the lives of people affected by rare diseases through the development and delivery of innovative medicines as well as supportive technologies and healthcare services.
Introduction to role:
Are you passionate about statistics, real-world evidence, and their application in advancing patient therapies? This is an excellent opportunity at the intersection of statistics and real world evidence generation. You will support the generation of real-world evidence from disease registries and observational data, contributing to analyses that inform regulatory submissions, evidence generation for scientific publications, and fulfilling post-market commitments. Can you envision transforming registry data into meaningful insights that meet health authority standards? Joining our epidemiology and real-world evidence team, you will apply foundational statistical methods, develop registry-specific analytical approaches, and contribute to projects that demand rigor, curiosity, and attention to detail.
Accountabilities:
Registry Evidence Strategy: Assist in delivering analytical strategies for registry-based evidence, crafting regulatory submissions and decisions across rare disease programs.
Regulatory-Grade Analyses: Support the design, implementation, and validation of survival, causal inference, propensity score, and longitudinal models tailored for registry data; support analyses that meet global regulatory expectations.
Methodological Innovation: Support the development and documentation of robust, registry-specific statistical approaches addressing challenges such as missingness, data linkage, confounding, and outcome validation; elevate practice through shared findings.
Cross-Functional and External Collaboration: Participate in collaborations with clinical, epidemiology, regulatory, and registry operations teams; participate in engagements with external registry investigators, statisticians, and consultants to ensure methodological rigor and consistent data quality.
Standards, Quality, and Compliance: Align with AstraZeneca standard methodologies and guidance (e.g., FDA RWE Framework, EMA registry guidance); drive reproducibility, audit readiness, and transparent reporting in statistical deliverables.
Communication and Influence: Under guidance from senior team members, communicate statistical design, concepts, and conclusions to cross-functional teams by translating technical findings that emphasize clinical impact.
Essential Responsibilities:
Conduct advanced statistical analyses of data from disease registries, patient registries, natural history studies, EMR, and claims data for regulatory submissions, including survival analysis, inference methods, propensity score matching, longitudinal modeling, and registry-specific statistical approaches that align with regulatory guidelines
Support collaborations within registry teams across epidemiology and programming functions. Support Alexion in regulatory interactions and advisory meetings, ensuring registry-derived analyses align with regulatory strategy and meet health authority expectations for FDA, EMA, and other global regulatory submissions
Support the development of regulatory-quality deliverables including statistical reports, clinical study reports (CSRs), and regulatory briefing documents based on registry analyses, ensuring compliance with FDA Real-World Evidence Framework, EMA guidance on registry-based studies, and regulatory guidance documents.
Support the development and validation of statistical methodologies for real-world evidence generation from registry sources that meet regulatory standards, while collaborating with external registry investigators, statisticians, and regulatory consultants to ensure methodological rigor and alignment with regulatory requirements
Desirable Skills/Experience:
Advanced degree or equivalent experience in statistics, biostatistics, epidemiology.
Working knowledge of R and/or SAS for analytics; familiarity with SQL or Python for data engineering and validation
Experience generating real-world evidence for rare disease programs or patient populations
Peer-reviewed publications or conference presentations in pharmacoepidemiology, methodology, or applied real-world evidence
Practical expertise in data quality assessment, cohort construction, linkage, and missing data strategies for registries
Strong communication skills with the ability to influence collaborators and translate sophisticated methods into clear decisions
When we put unexpected teams in the same room, we unleash bold thinking with the power to inspire life-changing medicines. In-person working gives us the platform we need to connect, work at pace and challenge perceptions. That's why we work, on average, a minimum of three days per week from the office. But that doesn't mean we're not flexible. We balance the expectation of being in the office while respecting individual flexibility. Join us in our unique and ambitious world.
