Aktis Oncology is seeking a Head of Biometrics to build and lead the biometrics function. As the first statistician hire at Aktis, this individual will pair deep, hands-on technical expertise in biostatistics with the leadership skills needed to scale a best-in-class biometrics organization - including statistical programming and data management - in support of Aktis' growing clinical pipeline of targeted radioconjugates. This is a rare opportunity to shape the strategic and operational foundation of biometrics at a fast-growing, clinical-stage radiopharmaceutical company. This role will report to the SVP, Head of Global Development Strategy.

QUALIFICATIONS • PhD (preferred) or MS in Biostatistics, Statistics, or a related quantitative field. • 7-10+ years of biostatistics experience in the pharmaceutical/biotech industry, including oncology drug development; experience with radiopharmaceuticals or targeted therapies is a plus. • Demonstrated leadership experience helping build and/or lead a biometrics function, including hiring and managing biostatisticians, statistical programmers, and/or data managers. • Willingness and ability to work hands-on as an individual contributor as the first member of the function, while planning for team growth. • Deep expertise in clinical trial design, statistical analysis plans, and regulatory statistics, with experience supporting IND/NDA/BLA submissions and health authority interactions. • Strong knowledge of CDISC standards (SDTM/ADaM) and statistical computing (SAS and/or R). • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate complex statistical concepts for cross-functional and non-technical audiences. • Experience managing CRO and vendor relationships for statistical programming and biostatistics deliverables. • Strong desire to be part of a mission-oriented company leading transformative change for patients. • Proven demonstration of transparent communication and fostering open and diverse debate. • Ability to work with agility and manage ambiguity. • Personifies positive energy and exemplifies respect.
