The posting

Denali Therapeutics Inc. is a biotechnology company pioneering a new class of biotherapeutics designed to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) using its proprietary TransportVehicle™ platform. With the first FDA-approved biologic specifically designed to cross the BBB, a clinically validated delivery platform and a growing portfolio of therapeutic candidates across all stages of development, we are advancing toward our goal of delivering effective medicines to transform the lives of people living with neurodegenerative diseases, lysosomal storage disorders and other serious diseases.

We invite you to consider an opportunity with Denali to help achieve our goal of delivering meaningful therapeutics to patients.

This role shapes the statistical strategy that carries Denali's clinical programs from first-in-human studies through pivotal registration trials. It applies deep scientific judgment to problems with significant ambiguity, working with intangible variables that affect development timelines and regulatory outcomes. The role builds Denali's emerging reputation in biostatistics by driving intangible-variable analysis, mentoring statistical staff, and representing the function in interactions with regulators, vendors, and cross-functional leadership.

Key Accountabilities / Core Job Responsibilities:

  • Design and lead statistical strategy across the full clinical development lifecycle, from first-in-human through pivotal Phase 2/3 studies and NDA/MAA/BLA submissions.
  • Leads development of key clinical study deliverables, including statistical analysis plans, protocol statistical sections, and clinical study reports.
  • Exercise independent judgment in selecting and adapting statistical methods where standard approaches don't fully apply.
  • Own the statistical integrity and accuracy of analysis and reporting deliverables against SOPs and regulatory requirements.
  • Lead exploratory analyses, sample size estimation, and modeling/simulation to generate insight from ambiguous or incomplete data.
  • Present statistical strategy and findings to senior management and influence cross-functional decision-making.
  • Oversee and mentor other biostatisticians, providing technical direction without formal people-management authority.
  • Manage and provide oversight of Biostatistics vendors and CROs, including performance and quality of external statistical deliverables.
  • Maintain expert knowledge of statistical methodology, therapeutic-area drug development, and the evolving regulatory environment.

Qualifications/Skills:

  • Typically requires a Ph.D. in Statistics, Biostatistics, or a related discipline with 6+ years of relevant experience including responsibility for study level strategy and decision making or a Master's degree in a related discipline with equivalent related experience.
  • Typically requires late-stage (Phase 3) clinical trial planning, conduct, and reporting experience.
  • Strong programming proficiency in R and Markdown/Quarto; working knowledge of git and Unix/Linux environments.
  • Working knowledge of CDISC, SDTM, and ADaM data standards.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams and influence senior stakeholders without direct authority.

Salary Range: $171,000.00 to $223,000.00 . Compensation for the role will depend on a number of factors, including a candidate’s qualifications, skills, competencies, and experience. Denali offers a competitive total rewards package, which includes a 401k, healthcare coverage, ESPP and a broad range of other benefits. Learn more at https://www.denalitherapeutics.com/careers

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
