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.

About you

We’d like to hear from you if…

  • 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 love working in a multidisciplinary team that includes clinical and technical collaborators as well as sponsor representatives
  • You bring strategic and creative thinking, having had experience building out and implementing key processes from scratch
  • You have experience building and coaching a team of biostatisticians and/or data managers
  • You have high agency and a bias for action
  • You are passionate and curious about our mission; changing how the healthcare industry operates and how new health treatments are developed
  • 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

What we offer

  • Make an impact across all areas of our business and fix one of the world’s most broken industries
  • Competitive salary, plus meaningful stock options
  • Flexible working; we have an incredible office near London Bridge and encourage people to work 3 days per week from the office.

Why Biotechnology Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Biotechnology once meant pipettes, lab benches & research reports. But in today’s UK job market, biotech careers are no longer confined to wet labs or sequencing centres. As the sector expands into gene therapies, synthetic biology, personalised medicine, agricultural biotech, and bioinformatics, professionals are expected to integrate not just biology & chemistry, but also law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This change reflects a broader truth: biotechnology doesn’t happen in isolation. It impacts people’s health, the environment, food supply & society at large. That means careers in biotech now require more than scientific knowledge — they demand legal awareness, ethical reasoning, patient empathy, clear communication, and user-centred design. In this article, we’ll explore why biotech careers in the UK are becoming multidisciplinary, how law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design are shaping job descriptions, and what job-seekers & employers need to do to succeed in this transformed landscape.

Biotechnology Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Biotechnology Department

Biotechnology is a fast-moving, highly interdisciplinary sector that spans research, development, clinical trials, manufacturing, regulatory affairs, and commercialisation. In the UK, biotech firms, pharmaceutical companies, academic spin-outs, and contract research organisations (CROs) are collaborating more than ever, leading to the creation of complex teams with specialised roles. To deliver safe, effective, and compliant biotech products — whether diagnostics, biologics, gene therapies, environmental biotech, or agricultural innovations — it's vital to know who does what. This article will map out the structure of a modern biotech department. We’ll define the key roles, how they interact across the product lifecycle, what skills are required in the UK, typical career paths, salary expectations, and examples of how startups versus large firms organise themselves. Whether you are a hiring manager or a job seeker, this will help you understand the landscape of biotechnology jobs in the UK.
