The Position

The Role

You will own the full lifecycle of Roche's digital analytics and GenAI applications, from identifying user problems through discovery, prototyping, launch, and continuous improvement. You are the accountable product leader: you decide what gets built, why, and in what order, and you are responsible for whether the product gets used and creates value for commercial teams.

What You Will Do

Discover: Identify the business problems to be solved with Commercial stakeholders and turn them into clear problem statements and opportunity areas.

Define and prioritize: Own the product vision, roadmap, and backlog for your apps. Make trade-off decisions between features, technical debt, and new AI capabilities.

Build with your squad: Work daily with engineers, data scientists, ML and GenAI engineers, and UX/UI designers as a hands-on decision partner. Shape solution design, including how LLMs, RAG, and agentic features are used in the user experience.

Ship and iterate: Manage releases, test with users, and improve the product in short cycles. Own the production roadmap for the app.

Measure and grow: Define product metrics (adoption, retention, task completion, time saved) and use them to guide decisions. Report results to business leaders.

Drive adoption: Build onboarding, in-app guidance, training materials, and feedback channels so users adopt the product and keep using it.

Partner on governance: Work with data platform, IT, security, and compliance teams to ensure the product meets security, privacy, and regulatory requirements. You own the decisions, and these teams advise on constraints.

Stay current: Track emerging AI tools and patterns and bring practical ones into the product. Have a clear Build / Buy strategy with the current emerging capabilities

What You Bring

8+ years of experience building digital products, with at least 3 years as the accountable owner of a live application used by real users.

Proven end-to-end product ownership: you have taken ideas from concept through to launch and ongoing operation.

Working knowledge of how software is built and delivered (web or mobile apps, APIs, cloud, agile delivery). You can have credible technical conversations without needing to write code.

Experience using data and analytics to make product decisions, including product analytics tools and A/B testing.

Hands-on understanding of AI and GenAI capabilities (LLMs, prompt design, RAG, semantic search) and their practical limits.

Track record of user-centered design and research.

Strong communication skills for both engineers and executives.

Advanced degree in a quantitative, technical, or product field, or equivalent experience.

Nice to Have

Experience in pharma, biotech, or healthcare, especially commercial data (syndicated sales, marketing metrics, RWE, payer data).

Experience designing adoption programs for complex, matrixed organizations.

How we calculate "similar"

No black box, no LLM guesswork: a deterministic score built from four normalized attributes. Here's this role's own peer group at different match levels, so you can see the mechanism, not just the result.

Every comparison starts from the same 100-point budget: 25 for working in the same function, 40 for the same therapeutic area, 20 for the same or adjacent seniority, 15 for the same country. A dimension we can't confirm on both sides contributes nothing, never a guess, never a free pass.

Unmatched or unknown dimensions score exactly the same: 0 points, never a partial guess. A role we know almost nothing about beyond its function bottoms out at 25%; it never inflates to 100% just because there's little to compare against. Seniority uses a defined ladder (Associate → Manager → Associate Director → Senior → Principal → Director → Senior Director → Executive/VP) so "Director" and "Senior Director" count as adjacent, but "Director" and "Executive/VP" do not.
