As a Data Systems Analyst within the Data, Analytics and AI team for Sites, SHE & Sustainability, you are the strategic navigator of our enterprise systems. You apply deep business domain knowledge and systems thinking to transform complex, interconnected technologies into cohesive organizational strategies. Your work directly accelerates our commitment to Net-Zero goals and sustainable business transformation by ensuring our technology, data, and analytical solutions perfectly align with our critical safety, health, and environmental missions.
Your New Team
We at RDT (Roche Digital Technology) are the bridge builders between global technology and local business. We are characterized by a strong "can-do" mentality and a deep connection to the business areas – from Diagnostics to Pharma. In our diverse, international teams, we combine high-tech with heart and go the extra mile together to create real value for patients worldwide.
Specifically, you will be a vital member of the Data, Analytics and AI team for Sites, SHE & Sustainability. You will lead cross-functional, data-driven initiatives within this space, managing an advanced technology and analytics landscape that supports global sites from Mannheim to San Francisco.
The Opportunity | What to Expect
You will oversee large-scale initiatives with full autonomy, acting as a trusted consultant to leadership. In this role, you will also act as a mentor to practitioners while actively contributing to the following significant challenges:
Strategic Data Strategy & Roadmap Shaping: Act as a trusted advisor to leadership. You will actively shape long-term data roadmaps and system integration strategies, evaluate strategic solution options (including advanced value and risk assessment), and recommend optimal data architectures for sustainable business transformation.
Enterprise Data Systems Analysis & Design: Navigate the complexity of interconnected systems. You will lead in-depth data systems analysis, performing Gap Analysis ('As-Is' vs. 'To-Be') to transform ambiguous business needs into clear Source-to-Target Mappings (STMs) and functional requirements. You manage requirements with a holistic, enterprise-wide viewpoint, ensuring clean data lineage across product lines.
Data Quality, Root Cause Analysis & Resolution: Define the problem space and drive comprehensive root cause analysis that spans organizational boundaries, especially in cases of data discrepancies or quality issues (e.g., ensuring accurate headcount/badge data integration for reporting). You will proactively prevent scope creep and be ultimately accountable for delivering high-value data system analysis deliverables.
Cross-Functional Alignment & Technical Bridge: Identify and engage key stakeholders across the global organization. You will oversee streams with full autonomy, actively navigate conflicts, and act as the critical bridge between data engineers and business analysts/data consumers to achieve consensus and empower your teams.
Qualifications | Who You Are
Data Strategy & Systems Consulting: Demonstrated advanced knowledge of Data Architecture, System Integration principles, and strategic consultancy concepts. You have a proven track record of recommending optimal, highly innovative data system solutions for unusually complex enterprise problems.
Technical Fluency & Data Analysis: Hands-on proficiency with data analysis tools and languages (such as SQL, Python, etc.). You can dive into complex datasets to extract actionable insights, validate system requirements, and ensure strategic decisions are built on a solid, data-driven foundation.
Data Modeling & Requirements Management: Strong capability to extend standard Business Analysis approaches, specifically to include data modeling techniques (e.g., conceptual, logical, and physical modeling). You expertly tailor and combine methodologies to fit highly ambiguous data system requirements.
Systems Thinking: Deep ability to apply systems thinking to provide holistic consulting advice, anticipating challenges and considering both micro and macro implications across related data domains.
Cross-Functional Influence: Exceptional stakeholder management skills. You act as a role model in teamwork, driving collaboration across Informatics and business structures to bridge the gap between technical potential and business needs, particularly as the critical bridge between Data Engineers and Data Consumers.
Mentorship & Leadership: A strong dedication to actively contributing to organizational development. You will show leadership in the Community of Practice and act as a dedicated mentor to elevate the standards of BA practitioners.
