Senior Pharmacoepidemiologist – RWE & Data Science

Job Title: Senior Pharmacoepidemiologist – RWE & Data Science

Location: London (Hybrid)

Salary: £60,000 – £90,000 DOE

About the Role

A venture-backed TechBio company in London is hiring a senior-level epidemiologist or RWE programmer to help build the future of data-driven drug development.

You’ll join a team that’s rethinking the traditional model - developing internal tools, working directly with biopharma partners, and applying real-world evidence to accelerate drug development.

This role combines scientific depth with software fluency. It’s ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of health data, analytics, and product-led strategy.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and analyse non-interventional studies, including regulatory-grade and exploratory projects
• Collaborate with engineering to build internal tools that support and scale RWE applications
• Engage with external partners to guide RWE strategy and deliver high-quality outputs
• Translate complex data into actionable insights for internal stakeholders and regulators
• Lead protocol and SAP development, contribute to CSRs and publication strategy
• Apply modern causal inference techniques to support study validity and robustness

Ideal Candidate

• MSc/PhD in Epidemiology, Pharmacoepidemiology or a science-based subject (biochemistry etc)
• Strong coding skills in SQL plus R or Python (this is non-negotiable)
• Experience delivering end-to-end observational studies using real-world datasets
• Proficient in study design, regulatory writing (protocols, SAPs, TFLs, CSRs)
• Knowledge of coding systems (ICD, SNOMED, GPI, HCPCS) and RWD sources (claims, EHR, registries)
• Familiar with regulatory trends around pragmatic trials, external control arms, and synthetic cohorts
• Skilled in handling and cleaning messy, multimodal data
• Confident using methods such as propensity score matching, IP weighting, and IV analysis
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to distil complex findings for different audiences

Bonus Experience

• Prior work in a startup, biotech or agile CRO
• Hands-on work with MarketScan, Flatiron Health, or Premier datasets
• Understanding of product development processes in tech-enabled life sciences companies

This is an opportunity to join a company that’s not just running studies, but building the future of drug development infrastructure. If you’ve got the technical depth, strategic mindset and coding fluency to back it up - get in touch.
