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

  • 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.

Contract vs Permanent Biotech Jobs: Which Pays Better in 2025?

In the ever-advancing world of life sciences, biotechnology has emerged as one of the fastest-growing and most impactful sectors in the UK. From gene editing and regenerative medicine to synthetic biology and vaccine development, British biotech organisations are at the forefront of scientific innovation. With this growth comes a high demand for skilled professionals—scientists, data analysts, regulatory affairs specialists, bioprocess engineers, and more—who can help bring cutting-edge treatments and products to market. However, as the biotechnology landscape in the UK continues to expand, so too do the ways in which professionals choose to work. Beyond traditional permanent employment, many biotech specialists are exploring the world of contracting, which can take the form of day‑rate consulting or fixed-term contracts (FTC). Each path promises unique advantages and disadvantages, from pay rates and benefits packages to career development and job security. This article offers a comprehensive guide on contract vs. permanent biotech jobs in 2025. We will explore how the UK biotech sector is shaping up, break down the different types of employment arrangements, and present sample take‑home pay scenarios for each. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge needed to make an informed decision that aligns with both your financial aspirations and long-term career goals within the vibrant and evolving biotech industry.

Biotech Jobs for Non‑Technical Professionals: Where Do You Fit In?

Your Place in Britain’s Biotech Boom When most people picture biotechnology careers they imagine pipettes, petri dishes and white‑coated scientists in Cambridge or Oxford. Yet for every bench scientist there is an ecosystem of professionals who never set foot in the lab but are crucial to getting a therapy, diagnostic or food‑tech breakthrough to market. The UK BioIndustry Association (BIA) reports that non‑scientific vacancies now make up more than one‑third of all biotech job ads, and demand is accelerating. According to Vacancysoft’s Life Sciences Labour Market Trends (November 2024), biotech job postings in the Golden Triangle jumped 26 % year‑on‑year, with hotspots also emerging in Birmingham and Glasgow. Finance is following suit: the sector attracted £3.5 billion in investment during 2024, a 94 % rebound from 2023 levels. More capital means more hires in project management, regulatory affairs, and commercial operations. In short, biotech is not just for PhDs, and you don’t need to master CRISPR to make an impact. This guide explains the high‑growth, non‑technical roles; the transferable skills you already possess; real‑life transition stories; and a step‑by‑step plan to pivot into the UK’s most exciting industry.
