Healthcare is evolving, and Global Procurement is responding by continuously striving for the highest possible performance, taking innovative and strategic approaches to business and supplier partnerships. Global Procurement proactively manages the entire supplier ecosystem, making a vital contribution to improving health outcomes, reducing costs for patients and global healthcare systems, and ensuring that Roche continues doing now what patients need next.
This Programs and Solutions Lead - Digital and Tech (Procurement) role sits within the Strategy and Solutions Chapter, where our mission is to orchestrate strategic priorities, catalyse value delivery for the business, and amplify Procurement Excellence. We don’t just manage processes; we drive continuous improvement to strengthen Global Procurement’s impact on the entire Roche organisation.
As a Programs and Solutions Lead , you will guide a high-performing, agile team focused on Digital and Tech . Your mandate is to lead the charge in bringing innovative solutions to life and accelerating procurement impact. In this role, you will lead the team to deliver against a high-impact portfolio encompassing:
Market and Supplier-Driven Innovation: Co-creation of market-first solutions to solve complex business challenges. You will be expected to challenge the status quo and redefine ways of working, looking beyond the traditional value chain to deliver impact beyond standard procurement metrics.
Complex Strategic Programs and projects: Acceleration and amplification of outcomes for high-stakes procurement initiatives, such as large-scale programs (e.g. cost transformations ) and critical projects (e.g. complex negotiations and sourcing ).
These initiatives are selected for their strategic weight, impact, and feasibility. You will lead a team expected to set the gold standard for quality and pace, requiring a "continuous development" mindset to stay ahead of market trends. This is a chance to deliver measurable impact while shaping a team culture that reflects Roche’s commitment to people and patients.
Beyond project delivery, you will be a community-builder, fostering a culture of curiosity, psychological safety, and radical collaboration where people feel empowered to experiment and grow.
You will coach a medium-to-large team, guiding resource allocation to the highest impact work and planning to turn high-level objectives into reality.
