We are seeking a transformational leader who thrives on variety. You don’t just manage a department; you look for ways to help the entire company win. You are as comfortable leading a cross-functional project as you are implementing a new AI-guided troubleshooting tool, all while ensuring your team feels secure, valued, and empowered in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.

  • Regulatory Stewardship: Ensure every remote-fix protocol and service action strictly adheres to Roche’s quality system and FDA/global regulatory requirements.
