Description
Our organisation prides itself on two key areas: delivering the highest quality statistical consultancy to clients, and providing an industry‑leading working environment that supports learning, development, and long‑term career growth. We have multiple opportunities for Lead Oncology Statisticians to join on a permanent basis, at Senior to Principal level, with roles available in the UK and the US.
