Statistical Programmer (SAS) CV template for pharma, biotech and CRO jobs
A sample Statistical Programmer (SAS) CV, built on the layout I use for my own CV and for clients. The person, the employers and every number in it are invented, so treat each line as a prompt and replace it with your own evidence. You get it in English and in German, as Word and PDF.
Made by Andreas Schulz, MoreThanCareer.de: 17 years in recruitment, 14 of them in pharma and CRO environments at Bayer, ICON and Syneos Health. Free for your own CV. If you share the template, please keep the credit line in the footer. Checked every quarter, next review planned for February 2027.
What a Hiring Manager checks in a Statistical Programmer (SAS) CV
- CDISC standards by name, SDTM and ADaM, and the submission documents you have produced.
- Study phases and therapy areas, so a Hiring Manager sees where you fit.
- Your role on a study: lead programmer, validation programmer or support.
- Programming languages with honest depth. Many employers now ask for R next to SAS.
- Submissions and outcomes, such as filings to FDA or EMA you supported.
Keywords that belong in it
Use the ones that are true for you, in the words the job ad uses: SAS, R, CDISC, SDTM, ADaM, TLF, define.xml, Pinnacle 21, clinical trials, regulatory submission.
How the template is built
Target role above the name, a short profile, career highlights with numbers before the experience, role title and dates on one line, employer and location on the next, and competencies as a keyword line at the end. The reasoning behind each part is on the pharma CV template page. If your target is a German employer, read how your Arbeitszeugnis will be compared with your CV in the Arbeitszeugnis decoder.
Frequently asked questions
Should a SAS programmer CV include R and Python?
Yes, if you use them. Many sponsors and CROs ask for R next to SAS. Say what you built with it.
What matters more on a statistical programmer CV, studies or tools?
Both, linked: name the study phase and therapy area, your role, and the standards and tools you used for it.
