Job Description

The CDISC & eSubmission Standards Subject Matter Expert (SME) at the Manager level will provide hands-on expertise for CDISC standards (SDTM, ADaM, Define-XML, Controlled Terminology) and regulatory submission support. This role is a key part of our Biometrics Innovation and Statistical Programming team. The incumbent will support the implementation of internal standards, provide study-level CDISC guidance, conduct quality reviews of deliverables from CRO partners, and ensure clinical data packages meet inspection-readiness criteria for global health authorities.

In this role, a typical day might include the following:

• Contribute to the development and maintenance of internal CDISC and submission standards, templates, and SOPs for SDTM, ADaM, Define-XML, and Reviewer’s Guides (cSDRG, ADRG).
• Ensure study-level compliance with defined SDTM and ADaM versions. Assist study teams in handling standards exceptions and applying transitioning rules.
• Author, review, and QC study-level specifications, including annotated CRFs (aCRFs), SDTM/ADaM mapping specifications, and variable-level metadata.
• Execute review workflows and checklists for internal and external deliverables. Conduct hands-on review of CRO-provided SDTM, ADaM, Define-XML, and submission data packages.
• Assist in assembling and verifying eCTD data package structures. Support NDA/BLA submissions by generating or reviewing data-related artifacts.
• Run and review Pinnacle 21 (or similar) validation outputs. Investigate findings, draft justifications, and verify SDTM → ADaM → TLF traceability for endpoints.
• Work closely with Biostatistics, Data Management, and Clinical Operations to resolve study-specific standards issues and support on-time delivery.
• Assist in preparing artifacts for audits and inspections. Help train internal teams and vendors on CDISC standards and internal conventions.

• Hands-on experience with Pinnacle 21 Community/Enterprise and a good understanding of data traceability.
