About the role

Statistical Programmer II

ICON plc is a world-leading healthcare intelligence and clinical research organization. We’re proud to foster an inclusive environment driving innovation and excellence, and we welcome you to join us on our mission to shape the future of clinical development.

Job Advert Posting

At ICON, we’re looking for a Statistical Programmer II who is ready to do more than just write code, you will help bring clinical research to life. You will join a collaborative, diverse team working on studies that genuinely matter, where your expertise helps turn complex data into clear insights that shape medical advancements.

If you enjoy solving problems, working closely with experts across disciplines, and seeing the tangible impact of your work, this could be the role for you.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Building impactful solutions – Develop, validate, and maintain complex statistical programs (primarily in R) to support data analysis and reporting for clinical trials.

  • Leading from the front – Take ownership of one or more studies, working alongside Principal Programmers and acting as a key contact for a leading FSP sponsor.

  • Collaborating across teams – Partner closely with biostatisticians and cross-functional colleagues to translate study requirements into robust, accurate statistical outputs.

  • Shaping analysis strategy – Prepare and review statistical analysis plans (SAPs), programming specs, and derived datasets to meet regulatory expectations.

  • Ensuring quality and compliance – Safeguard data integrity and adhere to industry standards (ICH/GCP) throughout the programming lifecycle.

  • Supporting others to grow – Mentor junior programmers and contribute to building a culture of knowledge-sharing and continuous improvement.

What You Bring

  • A degree in statistics, mathematics, computer science, or a related field (postgraduate qualifications are a bonus).

  • Solid experience as a statistical programmer within clinical research.

  • Strong hands-on expertise in R programming (ideally 3+ years in a clinical trials setting).

  • A sharp analytical mindset, attention to detail, and confidence working independently.

  • The ability to explain complex statistical concepts in a clear, accessible way—and collaborate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Why ICON?

At ICON, your work isn’t just technical, it’s meaningful. You’ll contribute to research that improves lives, while working in an environment that values collaboration, innovation, and growth. Whether you’re leading studies or mentoring others, you’ll have the support and autonomy to make a real difference.
