[Hiring] Staff Biostatistician @Lindus

Role Description

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.
• 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.

Qualifications

• High agency and a bias for action, with genuine passion for our mission of transforming how new health treatments are developed.
• PhD or Master's in Biostatistics, Statistics, or a related field.
• 9+ years in clinical biostatistics, including preparing statistical content for an FDA submission (IND, NDA or BLA).
• Led statistical strategy across multiple trials independently, including complex or adaptive designs.
• Fluent in R or SAS while directing others' programming work.
• Led interim analyses with material go/no-go or safety consequences.
• Represented statistical positions directly to regulators.
• Trusted, credible statistical voice with Clinical Operations, Regulatory and Corporate Development leadership.

Requirements

• Lead the statistical assessment on asset acquisitions and deliver the final statistical verdict that informs the decision.
• Set the standard for trial design across the portfolio, leading design of the most complex trials and reviewing others' designs for structural risk.
• Own the interim and final analyses with the greatest scientific, safety or business consequence.
• Serve as the senior statistical authority in regulatory interactions, authoring and defending the statistical case in briefing books, submissions and agency meetings.
• 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.

Benefits

• Make an impact across all areas of our business and fix one of the world's most broken industries.
• Competitive salary, plus meaningful stock options.
• 27 days annual leave in addition to 11 National Holidays.
• Health insurance coverage through our PEO Trinet.
• $40 monthly wellness allowance, which you can spend on a wellhub membership, or wellness activities and expenses of your choice!
• Enhanced Parental Leave: 16 weeks full pay for primary caregiver and 6 weeks full pay for secondary caregiver.
• $2,000 Learning and Development allowance each year to put towards courses, certifications, and development.
• Regular whole company and team events, both in person and virtually.
• Access to gym and retail discounts through our benefits platform Happl.
• Monthly lunch voucher for our remote teams.
• Charity events and fundraising opportunities through our charity partnership with the Forward Trust.
