Dear Allstat,

We are currently looking to speak to SAS Programmers of all levels to join our growing Programming team across the organisation.  I have included more information about the roles, and the Programming Group itself below, and I would be keen to speak with anyone who is either looking for their next role now, or who would be interested in getting in touch about roles for the future.

We are the worlds largest dedicated Biometrics Clinical Research Organisation leading the industry in data science solutions for the Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology sector. With around 200 employees across the UK, Poland, India, South Africa, and the USA, we have a truly global culture which is friendly, supportive and inclusive. Our working environment is one in which everyone feel part of a bigger team, allowing our talent to play a role in delivering first class solutions with best in class customer service.

The SAS Programming Group is an international and diverse business unit, in which you will be able to work closely with peers across the UK, Poland, South Africa, India, and the US. The group promotes knowledge sharing both up and down the chain and the success of the group comes from its open lines of communication, with points, opinions and views of the team being valued and contributing to each project.

The programming group is split into two sections, the FSP model, working on client systems and to client standards, and the Fixed Fee programme, using Quanticate’s systems and standards. The global Programming group comprises over 80 specialists made up of Principal Programmers, Senior Programmers and Programmers.
