The Position

The Opportunity

As Roche continues to look for ways to release funds for investment in R&D, Finance needs to take a stronger leadership role in the business. Moreover, as our innovation pipeline grows in its disease therapeutic diversity and technology platforms, Finance must play a critical role in ensuring relentless investments in areas that will drive step change, and be multiplicative rather than additive.

In line with the vision laid out in the Finance White Paper, the newly created R&D Finance Network supports pRED, gRED & PD and is focused on Finance Enterprise Partnering, advocating strong, trustful relationships based on a shared commitment to greater impact for patients as a whole company. This newly created R&D Finance operating model will enable Finance Managers to work as a network in one team.

R&D Finance Managers/Sr. Finance Managers will be business-savvy professionals who can put themselves in the shoes of their stakeholders, as we collectively strive for integrated solutions that bring together elements of our broad offering across Pharma, Diagnostics, and Insights. They will catalyze cross-collaboration between R&D units - which continue to operate autonomously to maximize innovation - and bring a holistic, end-to-end view across the enterprise. Their touch points along the whole value chain will be combined with a network that can make things happen. Drawing from a deep well of relevant technical skills, as well as communication and storytelling, they will challenge the status quo, have eye-level conversations, and help stakeholders to navigate the polarities of a complex world.

Primary Responsibilities:

Serve as a finance enterprise partner to molecule teams and/or development functions in early and/or late stage.

Serve as thought partner and leader in driving value creation in our pipeline, while also driving productivity and transformation initiatives across the teams. Drive transparency and insights to make good business decisions in support of our ambition.
