Hiring Manager Notes:
Priority is programming and data warehousing, applied within a clinical environment.
Needs strong SAS programming experience.
Needs intermediate-to-advanced SQL.
Must have data warehouse development and maintenance experience, including clinical database management.
Still needs solid understanding of CDISC, CDASH and SDTM.
Needs real clinical trial data experience. Generic SAS or SQL backgrounds without it won't work.
External data acquisition applies here too: vendor data, SFTP transfers, and integration and transformation of that data.
Builds database schemas and edit checks, and maintains studies in the CDR across the study lifecycle.
AI programming/automation exposure is a preferred plus.
If choosing between a strong clinical systems/CDISC candidate and a strong SAS/SQL/warehouse candidate, the manager picks the SAS/SQL/warehouse one for this role.
