Die Position

Roche Molecular Diagnostics develops and produces innovative tests based on the Nobel Prize-winning discovery of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The tests developed by this business area for virology, HPV, microbiology, blood screening and point of care products are used around the world by researchers, doctors, patients, hospitals, laboratories and blood banks.

We are offering an outstanding opportunity for a strong and inspiring lead to represent PCR Assay Development in a cross-functional team, driving the success of menu expansion on our industry-leading cobas 5800, 6800, and 8800 instruments.

As the Development Program Representative, you are the tactical execution arm for Assay Development within a specific Development Program. This individual translates strategic product roadmaps into actionable development plans and ensures the efficient execution of assay development activities, focusing on the "how" and "when" within a given program.

The Opportunity

• People Leadership & Development: As a dedicated people leader, you are responsible for the line management, development, and coaching of our talented Technical Project Leads, empowering them to succeed in their roles.
• Strategic Execution & Shared Planning: Acting as a key bridge between strategy and execution, you will facilitate the creation of the tactical backlog. This is a co-owned process, developed in constant collaboration with the Program Engineer and cross-functional leaders to build a shared plan for the Core Assay Team.
• Bi-directional Communication & Needs Representation: You will actively drive the needs of Technical Project Leads within the Program Core Team and facilitate crucial bi-directional communication, ensuring program decisions are communicated effectively and that feedback and challenges are brought to the Core Team.
• Championing Assay Development Efficiency: You will act as the voice for Assay Development, championing process improvements to enhance team efficiency. In partnership with the Program Engineer, who holds overall process responsibility, you will influence the optimization of workflows and information flow to ensure they are fit-for-purpose for the assay teams.
• Problem Resolution: Proactively identify and address operational roadblocks within the program's assay development activities, developing and obtaining approval for effective solutions to overcome challenges.
• Resource Management: You will investigate resource deviations (budget or FTE) in close collaboration with the PCR Assay Development Chapter Lead and the Finance Business Partner to ensure program alignment.

Who you are

You are someone who wants to influence your own development. You are looking for a company where you have the opportunity to pursue your interests across functions and geographies. Where a job title is not considered the final definition of who you are, but the starting point.

• You are an exceptional and proven people leader, with a strong ability to connect with, mentor, and develop technical experts such as Technical Project Leads.
• You possess strong communication, collaboration, and influence management skills, with a demonstrated ability to build alignment with cross-functional partners and make sound decisions.
• You are a driver of results with highly developed competencies in thinking strategically, analytically, and innovatively. You can quickly and creatively analyze situations and provide solutions to complex challenges.
• Experience in molecular diagnostics or regulated product development and passion for enabling teams to deliver high-impact products on platforms like cobas 5800/6800/8800.
• Excellent written and oral communication skills in English (German is a plus).
• Occasional travel for key workshops or significant project milestones may be required, but this is not a regular feature of the role.

Your unique background and experience could have a significant impact on innovation. If you are ready to drive the future of diagnostics, we would love to hear from you. Apply today
