This role is within Biostatistics, a core function within Product Development Data Science and Analytics (PDD) that provides strategic leadership and scientific rigor across Development at Roche. Biostatistics identifies opportunities to apply the full breadth of data, digital, and design capabilities to deploy innovative methods across PDD, PD and the broader Roche Pharma  organization.

As trusted analytical partners in end-to-end drug development, Biostatistics leverages data to drive scientifically rigorous programmatic decisions across Roche’s Development portfolio; Biostatistics designs robust trials and analysis plans that increase the probability of technical success, accelerating timelines to advance Roche’s clinical pipeline and promote regulatory success — ultimately bringing medicines to our patients faster.

The Opportunity: 

• Independently drive statistical contributions to clinical trial design, ensuring strict alignment with scientific objectives and study endpoints.

• Deliver and quality-review critical statistical study documents, including comprehensive statistical analysis plans and protocols.

• Design and perform sophisticated data analyses, proactively identifying potential challenges and implementing robust statistical solutions.

• Serve as the functional expert for Biostatistics and PDD at the Study Team level, ensuring scientific and statistical rigor across all deliverables.

• Partner proactively with global cross-functional teams to align project deliverables, timelines, and strategic clinical goals.

• Interpret, contextualize, and clearly communicate analysis results to cross-functional stakeholders, directly influencing study-level decisions.

• Provide functional guidance, scientific leadership, and informal mentoring to less experienced statisticians within a matrix organization.

Who you are:

You are a strategic, independent thinker who thrives on solving complex technical challenges while keeping the bigger picture in mind. You enjoy collaborating in multicultural global environments and possess a unique ability to translate intricate data concepts into clear, actionable insights for non-technical audiences.

To be successful in this role, you bring:

• An MSc or PhD in Statistics, Biostatistics, or a closely related quantitative field.

• A minimum of 5 years of relevant experience in clinical trial statistics within a pharmaceutical, biotech, or CRO setting, ideally spanning multiple phases of drug development (early and late stage).

• A solid understanding of regulatory expectations, statistical methodologies for clinical development, and familiarity with CDISC standards.

• Hands-on experience and proficiency in SAS and/or R programming languages.

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with a proven ability to present complex technical concepts clearly and influence senior stakeholders.

• Demonstrated agility, problem-solving skills, and a track record of working autonomously while fostering strong, inclusive relationships in a global workplace.
