Parexel is currently seeking a Senior Data Engineer/Visual Data Analytics Specialist with Spotfire expertise, to join us in either the UK, Poland or South Africa dedicated to a single sponsor. This will be a home-based position.

This role will sit within the sponsor’s Early Development Biometrics (EDB) team, a core function within Product Development Data Sciences (PDD) that provides strategic leadership and scientific rigor across their early clinical development division. It partners across Biostatistics, Analytical Data Science, and Data Management to enable data-driven decision-making from first-in-human through proof-of-concept studies.

The EDB team also encompasses the sponsor’s Statistical Methodology group, which enables the most impactful use of quantitative methodology across PDD through internal consultation, external collaboration, and continuous capability building; and Visual Analytics, which creates and maintains interactive dashboards that will drive high-quality Medical Data Review (MDR) and safety signal detection, aligned with Risk-Based Quality Management (RBQM) principles and Critical-to-Quality (CtQ) endpoints.   

Working as a Senior Data Engineer/Visual Data Analytics Specialist at Parexel FSP offers tremendous long-term job security and prospects. We undertake vital clinical studies for sponsors including the leading global biotechs and Pharma top 50. And we have an incredible pipeline of work.

Expect exciting professional challenges in inspiring studies, but with time for your outside life.
