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.
