This role is based in Data Management, a core function within Product Development Data Sciences (PDD). We lead the industry in speed and efficiency across all data management responsibilities. We achieve this through the development of tools, automation, and the adoption of cutting-edge technologies that streamline clinical trial data collection and delivery.

As trusted partners in end-to-end drug development, Data Management leverages deep expertise in cross-therapeutic area data modalities to lead and influence clinical trial data strategy across Roche. We balance the need for high-quality outputs with fit-for-purpose data collection, enabling faster, more efficient trials that support timely decision-making and accelerate the delivery of new medicines to patients.

The Opportunity:

The Data Manager (DM) plays a critical role in ensuring the quality, integrity, and availability of clinical trial data to support decision-making in early and late-stage drug development. Working closely with Biostatistics, Analytical Data Science, and cross-functional partners, the Data Manager leads the design, implementation, and oversight of data management activities across one or more studies. This includes database setup, data cleaning, query resolution, and vendor oversight, with a strong emphasis on regulatory compliance, efficiency, and data readiness for analysis. The role requires both technical acumen and collaborative leadership to anticipate challenges, drive process improvements, and enable high-quality data delivery across the clinical portfolio.

- You communicate data issues clearly to internal team members and external vendors in straightforward situations

- You share learnings and emerging best practices with peers to support team development

- You apply independent judgment to solve moderately complex data issues, interpret guidance, prioritize responsibilities, and seek guidance in situations that require contextual understanding

- You adhere to functional standards, participating in peer review or mentoring relationships to uphold quality while building expertise in data management methodology

Who you are:

- You hold a Bachelor’s (or Master’s) degree in computer science, life sciences, statistics, informatics, or a related field
- You have a minimum of 2-4 years of experience in clinical data management or a related function, or an advanced degree with 0-2 years of equivalent work experience

- You demonstrate strong attention to detail and organizational skills
- You demonstrate critical thinking and a willingness to learn
- You are an effective communicator, able to work collaboratively in team settings

Preferred:
