BeOne Medicines is a rapidly growing company focused on fighting cancer, seeking a Director of Biostatistics to lead the Central Statistical Monitoring team. The role involves developing statistical monitoring indicators, collaborating with clinical teams, and ensuring data integrity throughout clinical trials.
- Responsibilities
- Lead the Central Statistical Monitoring (CSM) team within the Global Statistics department to support the RBQM: providing statistical design, interpretation, and governance for monitoring activities that protect subject safety, ensure data integrity, and support trial reliability across BeOne’s clinical development portfolios
- Accountable for development, validation, and operationalization of statistical monitoring indicators and models across one or multiple studies/programs
- Acts as the CSM statistician interfacing with clinical study statisticians, medical monitors, safety/pharmacovigilance, global clinical operations (GCO), quality/GCP, data management to ensure signals are interpretable, actionable, and compliance
- In collaboration with governance bodies, defines statistical thresholds, signal characterization methods, and recommended investigative workflows
- Escalates safety or major data integrity concerns to medical monitors, safety leadership, and quality with rationale
- Develop and maintain statistical risk indicators (KRIs), anomaly detection methods, and monitoring tool appropriate for study purpose and data flows
- Partner with study team to specify data derivations, edit checks, and analytic data snapshots required by CSM algorithms
- Validate models and algorithms: assumptions, diagnostics, false positive/negative rates, sensitivity analyses, and reproducibility
- Implement processes to detect candidate signals across sites, subjects, and data domains (safety, efficacy, conduct, data quality)
- Characterize signals by magnitude, specificity, temporal dynamics, covariate dependence, and uncertainty; provide quantitative rationale for prioritization
- Define and apply confidence thresholds, tiering logic (e.g., high/medium/low), and criteria for automatic alerts versus human triage
- Produce tiered deliverables: one‑line headline for executives, concise operational briefs for GCO, and detailed technical appendices for analytic teams
- Translate statistical uncertainty and model assumptions into concrete, pragmatic next actions for operations and clinical follow‑up for medical monitors
- Co‑design decision trees, playbooks mapping signal types to investigative workflows, escalation paths, and CAPA triggers
- Ensure feedback loops: incorporate investigation outcomes (true/false/insufficient) to recalibrate models and to improve data collection or derivation rules
- Participate in RBQM governance meetings to align statistical approaches with study risk tolerances and regulatory expectations
- Develop and deliver training modules for clinical monitors, safety officers, DM staff, and study teams on interpreting CSM outputs and on required actions
- Provide statistical support during audits/inspections and contribute to CAPA design when monitoring uncovers systemic issues
- Act as a change agent: promote a risk‑based mindset, help define governance criteria, and support SOP updates
- Define KPIs for CSM effectiveness: time‑to‑investigation, confirmation rate, and downstream corrective actions
- Monitor performance dashboards, conduct periodic reviews, and implement improvements to models, thresholds, and communication templates
- Skills
- Master's degree with 7 years' experience or Ph.D with 5 years' experience in biostatistics/statistics or related quantitative field
- Demonstrated experience in clinical trial statistics
- RBQM/CSM, and signal triage
- Strong stakeholder management and communication skills
