The Position

At Roche, our Finance Centers of Excellence have led the way in breaking down silos, removing hierarchies, and working in new ways. We have learned from our successes and from the things that have not gone so well. We are better equipped to look at interfaces and alignments, and to understand the risks of creating new silos. The eCoE is focused on three areas delivering a high-level of financial expertise, innovative insights, and an entrepreneurial mindset that enables agility and flexibility for stakeholders. The eCoE is a talent engine for Finance through capability and network building.

There are three focus areas within eCoE:
● Financial Backbone
● Digital Innovation
● Analytics and Insights

In our ongoing reflection across the eCoE and FEP Network on how to evolve our setup, we have identified an opportunity to elevate our collective impact by creating an “Analytics & Insights Engine”. In this new global setup within the eCoE R&D OBC, you will have the opportunity to be part of this journey from the start and help shape it into an impactful piece of our overall R&D Finance architecture.
