Our mission

All new medicines need to undergo clinical trials to show they’re safe and effective. But today’s clinical trial infrastructure is stuck in the past, and the cost of developing new medicines has skyrocketed as a result. Patients have to wait longer and pay more for new treatments.

Our mission is to fix this; we use software to help innovative companies run faster, more reliable, and patient-friendly clinical trials. We’re still a young company, but we’ve already had a big impact. Since founding the company in March 2021 we’ve helped run over 80 clinical trials involving tens of thousands of patients, with a customer NPS of 100.

We recently raised a $18m Series A round from some great investors including Creandum, Peter Thiel and Firstminute to power the next stage of our growth.

About the role

We're looking for a Director of Biostatistics and Data Management to build and develop our biostatistics and data management capabilities at Lindus Health. You will sit within our Clinical Operations function, working closely with both the wider Clinical Operations team and Product team to help us deliver end to end trials.

You will have full operational responsibility for the management and further development of the infrastructure to ensure the completeness and quality of all clinical data collected, analysed and stored within our systems and processes.

  • You have 10+ years of experience within either biostatistics or data management, developing, both working on the delivery of clinical trial data and managing a team in an academic or commercial setting
  • You thrive in a startup environment that challenges the norms of typical CROs

  • You want to learn what life is like at a high-growth, mission-driven VC funded startup

You belong here! If your experience and interests match with some of the above, we want you to apply.

What you’ll focus on

  • Data and Biostatistics leadership

    • Become a key member of the Clinical Operations leadership team
    • Advise others across the company on trial data best practices
    • Support Data Management and Biostatistics teams in audits
    • Help the product team stay on top of the trial pipeline by capturing and prioritising new requirements for upcoming trials

  • Team set up and ways of working

    • Establish the function from scratch, mentoring and coaching the existing biostatistician and data managers we have in the team
    • Establish key processes and approaches for how we deliver biostatistics and data management across our trials
    • Lead on the development and implementation of training, SOPs and best practice ways of working

  • Team support and escalation

    • Be accountable for the delivery of all biostatistics and data management work across all trials
    • Act as the point of escalation both internally and with sponsors for statistics and data challenges where they arise

  • Client Relationships and Business Development

    • Represent biostatistics and data management when working with prospect and existing customers
    • Work closely with our solutions team on developing bids which accurately reflect the needs of biostatistics and data management

How Many Biotechnology Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Biotech Job?

If you are trying to break into biotechnology or progress your career, it can feel like the list of tools you are expected to know is endless. One job advert asks for PCR, another mentions cell culture, another lists bioinformatics pipelines, automation platforms or GMP systems. LinkedIn makes it worse, with people sharing long skills lists that make you wonder if you are already behind. Here is the reality most biotech employers will not say out loud: they are not hiring you because you know every tool. They are hiring you because you understand biological systems, can work accurately and safely, follow protocols, interpret results and contribute reliably to a team. Tools matter, but only when they support those outcomes. So how many biotechnology tools do you actually need to know to get a job? The answer depends on the role you are targeting, but for most job seekers it is far fewer than you think. This article breaks down what employers really expect, which tools are essential, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look employable rather than overwhelmed.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Biotechnology Job Applications (UK Guide)

Hiring managers in biotechnology do not start by reading your CV word for word. They scan for credibility, relevance and risk. In a regulated, evidence-driven sector like biotech, the first question is simple: is this person safe, competent and genuinely capable of contributing in this environment? Whether you are applying for roles in research, manufacturing, quality, regulatory, clinical, bioinformatics or commercial biotech, the strongest applications make the right signals obvious in the first 10–20 seconds. This in-depth guide explains exactly what hiring managers in UK biotechnology look for first, how they assess CVs, cover letters and portfolios, and why capable candidates are often rejected. Use it as a practical checklist before you apply.
