Die Position
The Global Supply Chain division serves as a critical strategic engine within the organization, focused on driving cross-functional alignment across R, Manufacturing, Quality, Commercial, and Regulatory functions. By implementing advanced design methodologies, establishing global standards, and optimizing end-to-end supply chain integration, the department breaks down functional silos to foster a transformational leadership environment. The team is dedicated to permanently optimizing processes to increase quality and efficiency standards, ensuring that long-term multi-year planning and innovative technologies position the entire organization for future readiness.
We are seeking a Global Head to step into a primarily strategic role, acting as an architect and systems thinker to shape our global supply chain strategy. This position is highly visible and impactful, with a task split dedicated to 50% Launch& Integration Orchestration, 25% Strategic Architecture, and 25% Leadership& Capability Building. Operating on a global scale, you will lead high-level project execution and empower cross-functional teams to navigate highly ambiguous, unstructured challenges, transforming complex operational hurdles into measurable business opportunities.
The Opportunity
- Driving organization-wide impact by delivering operational efficiencies through Lean design, cost savings, and successful pilot-to-commercial scaling that directly influences commercial sales results.
- Enforcing global design standards and regulatory compliance while acting as the key strategic point of contact for global launch readiness.
- Devoting 60-80% of your focus to multi-year strategic planning during the early stages of the Product Life Cycle (PLC) to challenge the status quo and introduce new technologies.
- Leading and co-owning the Global Supply Chain strategy by setting comprehensive policies, standardizing processes, establishing governance, and defining physical product requirements.
- Overseeing critical, large-scale integration projects encompassing end-to-end supply chain integration and new product commercialization across diverse regions and divisions.
- Influencing and negotiating on a daily or weekly basis with internal leaders across Manufacturing, R, and Finance, as well as external Logistics Service Providers and manufacturing sites.
- Managing significant conflicts between competing functional interests, such as balancing R’s speed with supply chain compliance, while regularly presenting investment and readiness rationales to senior leadership.
Who You Are
- An advanced degree holder, with a required Master's degree in Life Science, Engineering, Pharmacy, or a related subject, though a Ph.D. or MBA is highly preferred.
- A seasoned professional with 10+ years of leadership experience within the pharmaceutical, diagnostics, healthcare, or a similarly highly regulated industry.
- An expert in industry operations, possessing clear, hands-on experience across Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Procurement, and Quality& Regulatory environments.
- A strategic decision-maker with deep knowledge of product development, life cycle management processes, and the Roche Diagnostics product portfolio.
- An exceptional transformational leader committed to role-modeling Roche Values, Creative Leadership, VACC principles, and coaching culturally diverse, global teams toward solution-oriented outcomes.
