They are a world renowned international consumer product company who are looking for a Statistician to join their European team. You will be office based in London but focusing on working with European colleagues, so there will be regular travel involved. You will be part of a global department containing Statisticians, Data Managers and Clinical Researchers. There is a strong network within the European group and the global department so plenty of help and support is readily available. Responsibilities: - Consult on all aspects of Statistics to meet the changing needs of the business, ranging from upstream science through to the analysis of consumer trials. Consulting covers the design of studies as well as the analysis and interpretation. You will also help train the local organisations in Statistics to increase their capabilities. Project work may be one-off pieces or you may be a fully-integrated part of a multi-disciplinary team with long-term objectives. - On a broader level you will look for opportunities to improve organisational effectiveness through efficient management of data and automation of routine statistical tasks. Skills and Experience: - You will have a strong technical breadth and depth in Statistics. You will likely have a first degree containing a significant amount of Statistics and a Masters degree or above in Statistics or a closely related field. Key areas of knowledge are statistical modelling, multivariate analysis and design of experiments. You will be comfortable and competent in using a range of statistical software packages (e.g. SAS, JMP, SPSS are all used). - You will have an enquiring mind and be interested in science and how data and statistical analyses can be used. Being able to connect and develop ideas and be innovative are desirable attributes. You will be expected to continue your professional development as a statistician and training is actively supported. -You are likely to have had some experience in a consulting role or similar. You will also have demonstrated an ability to partner effectively and communicate with managers, scientists, researchers and others whose statistical knowledge may be limited. Good written and oral communication skills are essential as is an ability to form collaborative relationships and build effective networks. Many projects have multi-national scope so you will need to be able to work productively with colleagues located remotely.
